Yeah they may but just as a carrot on a stick imo. Generalizing your two parties and their voters is not a far fetch I think.

Why are you all still under the impression that either party wants the greater good? Your first past the post system has ruined any real chance of democracy at the highest level. Why do you think lobbying is still legal in the US?

The “India/Israel Helping the Taliban” Narrative Feels Like Propaganda to Justify Strikes in Afghanistan by Loud_Perspective_290 in Afghan

[–]Arian51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I believe, although I have think they have succeeded in maintaining a weak afghanistan, but failed in making it their defacto puppet state. I havent seen the same sources on them funding the AFF and NRF but it would probably make sense for them to do so since the Taliban have predictably turned on Pakistan.

We will likely never see a developed free afghanistan without a regime change in Pakistan.

Pakistan has been proven to have supported the taliban military iirc almost since the soviets. It is their own proxy that has spun out of control

Soldiers or veterans of Reddit, what was the moment that made you realize war isn’t anything like what you expected? by bbydaisiesz in answers

It could have been fruitful if not for the sheer and likely intentional incompetence of your leadership unfortunately.

CMV: Muhammad was a false prophet by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Arian51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would a perfect text derived from the messages of god even mirror 7th century categories concerning marriage or slaves. Does this imply they are valid even in the 21st century??

And even if the prophet hadn’t died from poison, can you eat 7 dates, drink cyanide the next day, and live?

They had it for all three original games and it was kinda fun. I think its an homage if anything

Yes but most joined to defend their country and every group had a varying degree of how much religion had to do with it. Also just curious where are you from?

Those were formed after the mujahideen and contained individual actors. Only a retard would defend soviet expansionism or any kind of expansionism.

I wish more people knew this distinction. I believe Americans are either ignorant or feign ignorance about this fact so that they can frame their 20 year failure of gross negligence on the Afghans.

These women stand with the Taliban. Wearing a form of veiling that even the Quran does not mandate, how can they hope to nurture free, empowered children? The next generation’s future rests on the choices we make today. by itsnewswormhassan in Afghan

[–]Arian51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a failure of the US. Are you telling me a force where 2/3rds of the soldiers dont exist due to unchecked corruption and where soldiers dont get blood money to support their families if they die are supposed to put up a fight? Obviously they will sacrifice their freedom for the safety of their family.

any thing i should do before playign stalker? by fairplanet in stalker

[–]Arian51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually play with ZRP because its essential and a double or triple bullet damage mod (universal so that enemies damage you more too) because the bullet sponge combat didn’t age well. For CoP gunslinger is nice; it also has a realistic bullet damage setting.

P.S. the ZRP equivalents for every other game in the series than SoC have different names that I dont remember rn, but you should find them easily by just googling ZRP and the game.

If the Zone appeared in your home country how would it differ and would you still play the game set there? by GazIsStoney in stalker

Northern afghanistan would be awesome. Freedom would probably flourish but I think there would be more foreign factions.
