That all folks! America bugs out of Afghanistan--stranding hundreds of Americans and SIV. Causing the white house to consider changing the "leave no man behind" slogan to "We'll help with diplomacy and rhetoric" After all, since speech is violence America can wage their new war through talking terrorist to death.
In Weaver and Loom, we unravel the wonderment of the spiritual, natural, fate, and the divine through mythic and sacred story, biblical parables, ancient fables, and Christ-haunted narratives--getting lost in the mysteries of the our human creation so that we might grope our way to Christ and become illuminated in midsts of the mundane and sufferings of life.
I bet that bidet, that that's all
folks, America bugs out of Afghanistan,
pulling their troops out and leaving
hundreds of Americans behind.
No one knows the exact count, but also
stranding thousands of SIV applicants,
men and women interpreters who worked
for the U S government who, whose lying.
Or now on the line and that
causes the white house house to
have a deep searching of heart.
And they consider it changing
that military slogan from leave.
No man behind to we'll help
them with our diplomacy rhetoric
because after all, if speeches.
Well, then American could just
wage their new war against
terrorists by talking them to death.
Hey, it's the weakest grow bot and
you're listening to the Lucas scrub bot
show where we uncover purpose, pursue
truth, and own the future episodes.
254 in a September versus actually
early wee, early hours of the
morning of September 2nd, 2000 in
21 coming to you from the heart
of the middle east and the neon.
Again, the mess, the mess
continues, but the rhetoric of the
rhetoric, it just sounds so good.
It's so pleasant to everyone's ears.
It's amazing.
What a little bit of propaganda.
Can do, but the facts on the ground
in Afghanistan, I mean, I feel like,
I dunno how many episodes we've
been on this six, seven episodes.
Now we should change this to the
Afghanistan show or something.
Uh, but really it's the
biggest, the biggest crisis.
Um, and just failure of the American
government that affects it is going
to have an incredibly profound impact.
On the next 50 years of American politics
on the next 50 years of geopolitical,
um, positioning and power across the
globe, it is, it is not just something
between Afghanistan and America.
It is truly a pendulum
swing on, on a global scale.
It is, it is important to understand what
is happening there because it is going to.
It is going to impact this coming
generation 50 years, plus, well, on the
ground security, Afghan security forces,
they are no dummies, thousands of them,
35,000 thousand commanders, military.
They have all fled the country,
crossing over borders, clandestinely.
They know what is coming.
They know.
That the season of forgiveness is, is
small, is narrow are already, there've
been commanders who have been executed.
There, there are reports of,
of, uh, military and air force
pilots being stoned and killed.
They know what's coming and
they're getting out of Dodge.
The reports of musicians being killed.
CNN.
Did her report of a young YouTuber, young
YouTube lady who was, who was killed
in the, in the bombing of that 270.
Now, whether she died from a
bullet from us forces or, or
NATO Turkish forces, or from the
bombing, we, we can't be searching.
I'm not searching.
Uh, there are reports, more reports
are coming in verified reports.
Of young women, 19, 20 years old,
even as young as 14, 12 years old,
taken by the Taliban and forced into
Taliban, uh, just the horrific stories.
One after another people being taken,
beaten and tortured for your affiliation
with the U S government thousands.
Thousands are fleeing to the
surrounding land borders, Pakistan,
Iran to GICA Stan use Pakistan.
Now some people I'm sure,
some people think, well, these
they're they're overreacting.
They should just calm down to see how
it's like first, these, these people
are not fleeing to get on, get on a
plane to make it to Canada or America.
Or orange county or Europe,
even there, they're not going
to have some great magnanimous,
Kush life moving to Pakistan or.
It's just not the case.
It's not going to happen.
They're taking backpacks, walking hours,
over mountains of footage of people just
streaming over these mountains or the
footage of thousands of people crammed
in worse than the footage that we saw
at the airport crammed in and trying to
get through the border into Pakistan.
Unbelievable.
The risk of life that they're taking
just to get out of the country.
To become a refugee, to have nothing
to leave their job, their land,
their livelihood, everything that
they've known behind with a backpack
to become a refugee in Pakistan.
It, it, it demonstrates that these,
that these people, they remember what
was happening just months ago with
suicide bombings and over decades.
Of the Taliban killing countless there's
two set boundaries or the Connie NEC
network who are now in power in Kabul
SU suicide, bombings, truck bombings,
terrorist networks running the country.
And that's not just, oh, well
that's just the us propaganda
calling them terrorists networks.
These are people who took responsibility,
say, yep, we did that suicide
bombing that killed dozens of people.
That was us.
This is not it.
This is not just a propaganda.
Well, you know, you call them
terrorists, but really they're freedom
fighters, freedom fighters that,
that force young girls into marriage
and, and kill people in households.
If they refuse or fight back people who.
Who blow up civilians.
Those are not freedom fighters.
Th th that's the definition
of sewing terror, terror, fear
into the hearts of people.
Definition of it.
That's what a terrorist is.
They're sowing fear that
you would live in fear.
On the edge of your seat,
fearing for your life.
That's why these people are running.
They're not running because they think
that they're going to have an easy life in
some of these surrounding nations there's
running because they know if they don't,
they're likely going to lose their life.
Well, Biden gave a.
Magnanimous, congratulations speech on
the failures of America in Afghanistan,
it was, it was really something.
It was a celebration speech about
one of America's greatest failures.
Uh, w we're not gonna dive too
deep into the speech today.
Uh, he seemed pretty, uh, Angry and
aggressive at something during the speech,
mostly defending mostly reiterating
again and again, and again, how he
inherited this deal from a predecessor.
We had to decide whether we're going
to escalate or get out when we said,
if we didn't get, you know, Every,
every reason of why he made the right
decision, how the buck stops here.
And this is the decision that
I made, and this is the best
decision that could have happened.
And we didn't foresee all these
other things, but this was
still, this was still right.
And this is an amazing day.
We ended the forever war.
So here's a Biden president Biden.
We have what's called over
the horizon capability.
Which means we can strike terrorist
and targets without American boots
on the ground, or very few if needed.
We've shown that capacity just the last
week we struck ISIS K remotely days after
they murdered 13 of our service members,
dozens innocent Afghans, and to ISIS.
K, we are not done with you.
As commander in chief, I firmly believe
the best path to guard our safety
and our security lies in a tough
unforgiving targeted, precise strategy
that goes after tear where it is day
not where it was two decades ago.
Okay.
Little question.
When we ask about where terror is today.
W w we're going to get to the drone,
psych stuffs, drone strike stuff in
a moment, but what this end of this
clip, if we ask ourselves, okay.
Where is the terror today?
The terror that he just
mentioned about ISIS.
Okay.
Where, where is that?
Oh, that's an F Afghanistan.
The place that you.
Oh, where is the terror today?
Who's running security in Afghanistan.
Oh, the Haqqani network who?
The leaders have a $5
million bounty on their head.
Where are those today?
Oh, in Afghanistan, the place that
you just left and, oh, it's okay.
We have over the horizon
capabilities to strike.
Well, what did they end up striking?
As we mentioned in previous
episodes, they had two strikes.
One on some ISIS came members, and then
there was a preemptive strike where
according to the reports, there was
suicide bombers in a car with a car bomb.
Heading towards the airport,
that there was a drone strike on.
Uh, we mentioned yes, in the
previous episode about this.
And at that time we had the data that
we had when we released the episode.
That was one, at least one child died.
And now that the real story
comes out that a family of 10.
10 civilians died, including
seven children in that strike.
Now it's unclear of whether those
kids were in the car or just too
close to the family was to close.
Or if the explosives that were in
the vehicle that exploded at the time
of the drone strike ended up killing
those civilians, regardless these,
uh, over the horizon capabilities.
They, they have their side effects.
Here is Jen Saki, um, answering, fueling
a question at a press conference about
just this drive, the drone strikes
as successful, and then America still
has over the horizon capability.
Uh, it appears that several children
were killed in one of the drone strikes.
Can you say that it was still successful
if that was the collateral damage and.
Terminate that it has the intelligence
necessary carrying out these
drone strikes if civilians going
to be caught in the prospect.
Well, first I would say we take a civilian
casualties in the possibility of civilian
casualties incredibly seriously, and our
us military, perhaps more than any other.
In the world, there isn't an
investigation and I don't believe the
military or CENTCOM has spoken to or
confirmed what has been some reporting
out there by news organizations.
I will note that insent comes
statement just two nights ago.
They made clear that their assessment
was that there was the vehicle that was
the target also had explosives in it.
And those explosives may have also
led to an impact on the ground,
but there's an investigation that's
ongoing and that's that's re I
honestly, that is a reasonable thing.
So reasonable answer to say,
well, there were explosives
in the car at the same time.
The question was great.
You call the successful.
And yet 10 civilians,
a family of seven died.
Now what w th the question then goes to,
you know, and all these things, they're
balancing risk assessments, assessments.
It's what is, what is going
to lead to greater damage?
Do we strike this car now, knowing that.
10 people, civilians, innocent.
People may end up dying from it
or do we let them go and carry out
this attack where hundreds of people
could die from it, depending on
where they detonated that car bump.
So I don't think it, I
don't think this is clear.
Cut.
I think it's horrible.
More is horrible.
If you do not hate bloodshed,
bloodshed will pursue you.
And that is the truth.
If you, if you do not despise and
hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue
you, which is why as societies and
nations, we ought to hate bloodshed.
We ought to hate the shedding of, of
blood and that, you know, that goes
for America, which is very good.
Very guilty of the shedding of blood.
And I think as individuals, I believe as
individuals, even though we're a part of
nations that maybe our nations or maybe,
or society, or maybe our community have
been guilty of that shedding of blood,
we can be ones to say, you know what.
I detest that I, I can stand up
and I can become a peacemaker
in my sphere, in my family.
I can be one who detests the
shedding of blood and, and
absolutely resist and imports it.
Or it can be one that goes along with it.
And that goes to down
to our personal lives.
Well, one thought that I've been
thinking about this whole ISIS cave
in that case stands for quarter sawn.
We mentioned this in the
previous episode episode, 253.
One of the things I've been
thinking, this is a theory.
This is probably a little bit unfounded.
Some people have been kicking it
around on, uh, some of the accounts
that I follow are kicking it around.
But, uh, it would make a whole, a
whole lot of sense to me because ISIS
quarter son, really, in some ways,
split from the Taliban as the Taliban,
want to just rid the occupiers of
foreigners from Afghanistan, where
ISIS quarter sawn, ice escape.
They want to have global jihad.
They want to spread it everywhere
and have global domination.
The Taliban, making any sort
of, uh, compromises is seen by
ISIS K as just total betrayal.
So they've the narrative
is that they've split.
And you're bitter rivals in their
sworn enemies, as I believe Biden
president Biden said in his speech.
And as I believe, uh, Jen Saki mentioned
in the press conference as well,
they're sworn enemies, but it would
make a whole lot of sense, just, it
would make a whole lot of sense for the
Taliban to have, uh, under the table.
With ISIS K and saying, Hey, look, I
know we're, you know, sworn enemies,
but we, the enemy of the enemy is my
friend, which is common in many places.
They say.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Well, what's the enemy of
my enemy in these cases.
Well, that's the U S forces.
So even in these cases where it's, ah,
it's ice, it's ISIS K, that's doing that.
I wonder, I wonder if there were,
uh, some handshakes underneath the
table to let some of these things
through and then just saying, okay,
Hey ISIS, K you take the blame.
So that we, as the Taliban, we can,
we can look like we're really doing,
you know, we're doing good in the eyes
of the international community, the
leave us alone to let us do our thing.
And, uh, we'll be able to.
Gain power.
And you guys will be our proxy group
that carries out our revenge that
we want and will this associate from
you, but we'll kick some money to
you underneath the table and we'll
have some chic secret handshakes.
Now that is total.
It's totally unfounded.
That is just, um, some stuff that's been
floating around that, uh, I don't know.
It's sounds pretty juicy to me, but
don't take that one to the bank.
That's just.
SIM conspiracy for thought.
Well, you're something that's not
conspiracy for thought back to
president Joe Biden's speech, um, who,
who really comes out ahead on this?
Well, the one and only
China, the world is changing.
We're engaged in a serious
competition with China.
We're dealing with the challenges
on multiple fronts with Russia.
Wait, um, who, who paid?
Who paid hunter Biden again?
Millions of dollars.
Joe Biden's son hunter Biden.
Oh, that was China.
Yes.
The world is changing.
Oh my, the, sorry.
We're confronted with cyber
attacks and nuclear proliferation,
cyber, Texas, cyber pandemic.
Remember when that happened?
Oh, we have to show up.
America's competitive to meet these
new challenges in the competition
for the 21st century, we can do
both fight terrorism and take on new
threats that are here now, and we'll
continue to be here in the future.
And there's nothing China or Russia would
rather have, would want more in this
competition in the United States to be
bogged down another decade in Afghanistan.
Oh my, no.
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding for first?
Uh, if we're, if, if America is
trying to compete on, on that
global scale and with trade.
Competitiveness.
I don't know if giving up truly
strategic geopolitical positioning
and in the heart of central Asia,
that is the backdoor to China.
You literally have a back door to China
right there in Afghanistan, where you had
a huge operational base, so that if China.
Ever if America and China ever went to
war right there, there has a massive
military operation where the us could
go in, reset up, shop in Afghanistan to
wage war in the, in the future event.
Lord willing.
It doesn't happen in Charlotte
law of, of a war between
China and America or the west.
And soup and right there,
right next to Russia as well.
I mean, talk about a geopolitical
strong hold that you want to have
some sort of presence in some sort of
handshake with the government and where
you can still maintain a little bit
of a presence to defend yourself in.
And so when he says, ah, there's nothing
that China would want more than us to be
here, still fighting this forever war.
Are you kidding me?
Sure.
They probably enjoyed the fact that
America was keeping terrorists at bay
and keeping them focused at other things
and keeping them out of places like China
and Russia, because China and Russia
does not want that in their country.
They are.
They're glad that Taliban
is already saying, yep.
We're making, we're making
diplomatic relationships with China.
We're making those handshakes we're
going right in China, stoke to cut
deals about those $3 trillion of
raw minerals underneath the surface
of to fuel their lithium batteries.
It's it is a happy day and cha.
Is laughing their way
to the bank with this.
They're like, oh my goodness.
Oh, Biden man.
He was, you bet.
Glad we bet on that horse.
This worked out well for us.
Oh, the fact that China, the
thought, the thought that China is.
Upset about this or disappointed that
America has gone when they finally now
have an ability to increase their belt and
road initiative, uh, connect with Iran.
It's I mean, it's a
massive win, massive win.
I don't know how that can
be seen a different way.
And I'm sure if someone does, but.
Well, anyways, uh, Biden
goes on in his speech.
This is the last, this is the last clip
from president Biden on the continuing
the ongoing efforts of humanitarian
efforts that America will be making
in Afghanistan from their speech.
You know, because as I said in the intro,
um, speeches, violence, and therefore we
don't need to wage war with real weapons.
We can just talk.
The Taliban and the terrorists to death.
And that will be the
violence that we wage.
And if we're really forced to it, we can
move on to silence is violence, because
we all know that silence is violence.
So maybe we will just stay silent.
And our silence will be the violence
that we can use against the Taliban
because man, you know, that a good
terrorist really hates the silent tree.
That's that's the worst you
say, Hey, uh, I'm going to
give you the silent treatment.
If you don't watch out that it stops in
every time here's president Joe Biden
and for anyone who gets the wrong idea.
Let me say clearly to those who
wish America harm to those who
engage in terrorism against us.
Our allies know this, the
United States will never run.
We will not, forgive will not forget.
We'll hunt you down to the ends
of the earth and we will, you
will pay the ultimate price.
Uh, but they, I understand it's that
over that horizon capabilities that
they're still gonna carry out strikes.
And now it's going to be, uh, a
shadow war rather than a forever war.
It's going to go on.
With with airstrikes.
Apparently.
That's what it sounds like you're saying.
Um, it's still, it feels
like double talk to me.
It's it's saying one thing, but
it's completely contradictory.
He goes on in this, this last clip by him.
Let me be clear.
We'll continue to support the
AFCAMP people through diplomas.
International influence and
humanitarian aid, the influence
that's gone, the humanitarian aid.
That's not going to get into the country.
And if the Taliban is anything like
we've been seen in other countries
with, with completely corrupt and
broken governments, uh, where is that?
Humana?
Oftentimes that humanitarian aid
gets swept up into government system.
We're there.
They're just not actually getting to the
people on the ground who truly need it.
And so how, how, if you have zero
presence there and people aren't in
the country, how are you going to
get aid to people and what we've as
America, as an American influence?
I mean, of course we still have
influence in the world, but it's,
this is definitely tarnished.
America's reputation will continue to
push for regional diplomacy engagement
to Ren violence and instability.
We'll continue to speak out for
the basic rights of the Afghan
people, especially women and girls.
As we speak out for women and
girls all around the globe,
and I've been clear that human rights
will be the center of our foreign policy.
Which is why we just abandoned
people and caused a totally
destabilized an entire nation.
The way to do that is not through
endless military deployments, but
through diplomacy, economic tools
and real rallying, the rest of the
world for support my fellow Americans,
the war in Afghanistan is now.
Yeah, the war is over.
Uh, the, the troops on the
ground war is over, but as I
said, the shadow war goes on.
The other thing, this there's this idea,
this ideology that is out there that,
well, you know what, the real reason.
That people turn to terror
that people turn to violence is
because of lack of education.
The real reason that people turn to
crime is because they're in poverty
and because you know, people in
poverty, they commit crimes more.
And that's the real reason that
is a total load of hogwash.
That is just not true.
And we know that's not true because
we look at people who have millions
of dollars who they still turn to.
They still turned to embezzling money.
They'd still turn to, to violence,
fraternity, violent drug, Lord soup.
They're still highly educated.
Education is not, is not the answer
either, but when there are bloodthirsty
men or women, people who are set on moving
their agenda forward through violence.
As we have seen the Haqqani network
do, as we have seen the gone, uh, the,
uh, excuse me, the Taliban do, as we've
seen that, moving their agenda through
violence, not just violence through
warfare, where there's two armies that
are battling, but violence through,
through abusing civilian civilians,
killing civilians, as a means to strike
terror, strike fear in the hearts of.
There is no, there is no talking
someone down off of that wall
in, in the diplomatic sense.
There, there, there are ways that
people can have dramatic life changes
and change who they are and turn
from that life of, of violence.
I do believe that I believe that
is possible, but the government's
responsibility is to wield this.
Is to defend its people and we've come
a long way from when America stepped in,
in Rwanda, when there was a, a genocide
and they stepped into to help people.
And that is there.
That that is a role that
governments ought to play in there.
The w w America is not supposed
to be the world police.
They shouldn't be going around
policing everyone else's nation.
And I, I understand that that is
a valid argument here saying, you
know what, it's not our country.
It's not America's country.
They do not need to be policing
there, but there is a responsibility
because they've been there for 20
years, been there for 20 years.
There is a level of, uh, of
responsibility or maybe a level of.
Commitment that has been made
and mutual commitment to one
another that has been abandoned.
And the fact that someone thinks
that, well, we'll change this.
We'll change this through diplomacy.
I it's, it's not happening.
I, I strongly doubt it will happen.
I pray that there is,
uh, uh, a radical change.
Of the hearts of those who are now in
leadership, in the Taliban in Afghanistan,
I pray that they do keep their promises.
I truly do because the alternative, you
know, I don't want, I don't want to be
right about the Taliban on this one.
Do you know why?
Because the alternative means that.
That tens of thousands of
people will die in genocide.
There'll be millions, more
refugees fleeing the country.
Well, oh, I'm getting off on a rant.
Here's a, there's this tweet
that was out by Ned price.
Who's from the state.
He said the Taliban needs to meet its
commitments and obligations in Afghanistan
on freedom of travel, respecting basic
rights of people upholding its commitments
on counter-terrorism and not carrying out
reprisal violence against those who stayed
and forming an inclusive government.
This is what we, this is true.
We all hope that this will happen.
And as Jen Saki said, and I believe
as president Biden also said,
they're not holding their breath.
They don't trust the Taliban government,
but it definitely seems like they're
just willing to, I don't know what
they're willing to do, but all what I
do know is it is a tragic, is a tragic.
For thousands of people who are now hiding
in their homes, living in fear, risking
their lives to get out of Afghanistan.
And no matter which way you cut it,
there is there's a responsibility
that falls on America for that.
Speaking of a new government in
Afghanistan here is a, a clip from
a series of clips from w I O N.
The world is one news, a great, a
great little news network out of India.
They're kind of, they get a little sassy
and a couple of moments of these clips.
And I like it.
Here's your clip one from.
On on the Taliban, um, from WYON
running a country, isn't the
same as reigning bombs there.
Islamic Emirate has all the
makings of a failed state.
The economy is in a mess that arrivals
tethered as groups in action already.
And those in charge have no
experience of governance.
Oh, running the country is
different than raining bombs.
And that is true.
They have all of a sudden inherited.
An entire nation.
They've Interra inherited
entire government and they've
not been in governance.
They've not set up health
systems and nations.
And in laws they've been a terrorist
organization, bombing villages in
striking terror, in the hearts of people.
So it is one thing to, to win this war.
That they've won.
And even their spokesperson says, you
know, we didn't expect to win it so fast.
We didn't expect to just be
able to waltz into the Capitol.
We didn't think that that was
going to happen, but here we are.
And so we're, we're now
scrambling to form a government
and figure out what we're doing.
And so how, how are they going to.
Hold up those humanitarian rights, how are
they going to, uh, lead their government?
Well, you might've seen this, this
video going around the internet.
With a, uh, it's at a news station and
the, the news reporter is, is reporting.
And there's two very crazy
looking Afghan, Taliban, military
with guns standing behind you.
Forcing him to read off good
things about the Taliban.
You'd think that they'd be a
little bit more coy that they'd
stand maybe behind the camera as
they read these things through.
It's just incredible.
The stunts that they're doing as
they, they lead the truck, try to
figure out how to lead the nation.
Uh, Insane.
Well, as this clip said earlier, can
the Taliban unite donation, can they
figure out how to lead their nation?
They have more troubles facing them then
than the fact that their banking system
is collapsed, that America is holding
billions of dollars have seized billions
of dollars of their, of their reserves.
The Taliban has come in and
swept all the money out of the.
To to fund their new government
because they came in and just boom,
a nation of 38 million people is all
of a sudden there's the, the food
prices are going through the roof.
Humanitarian aid has stopped.
And the fave limited people from, with
being able to withdraw $200 a day from
their banks when that's not very much.
Especially when you look at food prices
that are skyrocketing at the airport.
One report was showing that a one bottle
of water was 40 us dollars at the airport,
outside the airport with those throngs
and crowds of people, 40 us dollars.
Now, of course, that is absorbed.
A plate of rice was selling for a
hundred us dollars at the airport.
Now that's not what's happening
every other place in the city.
That's not having every
other place in the nation.
Some, some people are seeing
that prices are up 35%.
I've also heard they're up times,
two times three in some areas.
So the economy has collapsed.
So they have all of those problems.
And how do you put together, uh, a nation?
How do you develop rules?
Everyone's scared.
Most people I'm sure.
Some people aren't scared, but
thousands of people are scared
enough to go running to the border.
Here's the second clip by a
WYON only industry that's still
thriving is that of terrorism.
Multiple terror groups
have risen to the surface.
They all want to shave in the Afghan power
PI groups like Islamic state core sun,
Islamic movement of as Becky's done and
Eastern Turkish Islamic movement have all
had links with the Taliban, but now they
may challenge the Taliban's authority.
Do the tiny button, have the
wherewithal to bring all terrorists
under one umbrella and ensure order.
It's a tall ask.
Now, if, if you're looking on the.
Your phone or watching via video.
You see all these soldiers in U S
military fatigues, and they're looking
all, you know, all hardcore, they're
doing this, this great proper media
shots of their 3, 1, 3 unit that
the special forces of the Taliban.
Military us military fatigue, which is
quite a punch, quite a punch to America.
What a great propaganda piece after
giving it to them for that every,
every American is just their stomachs
are twisting at these images, but
it's one thing to put on a fatigue.
It's one thing to step into a presidential
palace and say, I'm the president now I'm
in control of this country is one thing.
Put on that title of authority or to put
on a military fatigue and look like you're
a really amazing special ops person, but
it's another thing to be a special ops.
It's another thing to know how to run
a nation and to have that capability.
And as this clip is talking
through, there are multiple
different terror organizations.
That are fighting for power that were
somewhat unified through the, the loose
binding of the Taliban, but will they
be able to harness all of these groups
in and will these warring factions.
As the winter comes as the
economy continues to struggle
will be turned to infighting.
Will this turn into a full on civil war in
Afghanistan to displacing millions more?
This clip, this clip goes on.
The tiny button is struggling to break
away from its existing Terra affiliations.
They have promised to break ties with
Al-Qaeda and the HUC Connie niche.
But criminals and terrorists
are making their way into
leadership roles in government.
One of the names in the running is
collegial Haqqani, and we've spoke about
how Connie a few episodes ago as senior
leader of the Haqqani network, he's the
one with a $5 million bounty on his head.
Little Connie is blacklisted by the
United nations and the United States.
Reports say he is set to emerge
as one of the most powerful men in
Afghanistan's future leadership council.
so far, the Taliban has dealt
with its problems with guns.
Now it faces an economic meltdown,
a challenge from rival terrace.
And the pressure to deliver on governance.
Woo.
That is a tall order.
I mean, I wouldn't want to
be leading a nation at all.
I don't want to be to lead a nation
period, let alone leading a nation
in this situation, even though it's,
I'm sure it's such a great day of
celebration and victory for them.
The thought of trying to
piece all of that together.
So set.
It's a recipe for disaster, in my
opinion, a recipe for disaster.
And as they said, they're trying to
dismiss, this is the, this is where
I think is just pure propaganda.
They're trying to disassociate
themselves from terrorist networks.
And yet the people that they're putting
in power are people that were in
charge of other terrorist networks.
So it is just.
It's they're just, they're talking.
The Taliban's propaganda
machine is strong.
They're the people that are
just pro the Taleb's strong.
The force is strong with this one.
Well, speaking of the fatigues,
the military fatigues and
the 3, 1, 3, uh, forces.
Th the, the eyes of the world has been
on the airport, the airport and the
American citizens are not citizens.
American military are gone.
Citizens have been left behind, uh,
but the 3, 1, 3 forces are there
special op forces of the biota forces
are now in charge of the airport.
The Taliban say the so-called
elite force, the buttery 3, 1, 3
will be in charge of the airport.
And you must.
This force derives its name from
the historic battle of butter.
The one mentioned in the Quran, this was
when an army of 300 soldiers defeated
their enemies who were in the thousands.
So a small force defeating a very big one.
The Taliban seem to have a pension
for symbolism, or do they have
the expertise to run a Navy?
They lack skill staff to take care
of logistics, say they managed
to build an efficient team.
What's the guarantee.
This airport will be a safe zone.
And most importantly,
what happens to them?
Will they still be allowed
to take flights out of Cabo?
Will do they have the logistical
capability, especially as what's happened
is called the brain drain where all the,
where all the, the military leaders,
all of the people who had logistics
experience, many of the doctors, many
of the people who are working in high
government position, With know-how
of how, how things are running in
the country, how everything fits
together, they've left the brain drain.
Will they have the logistic
capability to keep the nation afloat?
And then where were all these, these
people go will the, well, the Afghans
who worked with the us military
and fought against the Taliban
for years, will they be able to.
Well right now, they're not
because the airport is closed.
The airport is pretty much just defunct.
It's been totally destroyed.
Uh, so people are flying or
fleet flocking to borders.
And one of the borders that they're
are flocking to is the border of
Pakistan and Pakistan, Afghanistan.
Where are they entering from?
There are five major border crossings
between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The hybrid paths don't come
Willem Han and unglued adopt.
Pakistan has shut these four.
The fifth one is a spin
Boldak border crossing.
It's the only one that's still open,
but the situation there is worse than
what it was at the Kabul airport.
A few days back look at these images.
Thousands of refugees remain stranded
at spin bulldagger, cram like a herd
of animals waiting for their turn.
And Pakistan is making them wait
for days, hoping that they'll
eventually give up and return home.
Those were being allowed to enter and not
being allowed to go far from the border.
They have no food, no clothes, no shelter.
They remain stranded near the border at
a 10 foot deep trench separated by Barb.
I have come from Afghanistan V
and our children are homeless.
The situation was bad because of the war.
We have neither land nor employment here.
We have come here and sat at
the houses of our loved ones.
Now we are forced to
back by the road side.
It is difficult for children
to get two meals a day.
We pray to God and
people are aware of that.
Going in it's it's not like people
who are fleeing their homes and
crowding these borders are thinking,
ah, it's, this is the easy way.
Ah, it's going to be great.
On the other side of this border,
they're just going to be so
welcoming to us here in Pakistan.
It's going to be, uh, you know, the,
the aid to the food stamps, everything
that the government is just going to
put us up no way they are going in.
Wide-eyed they know that
is going to be difficult.
And yet still a thousand thousands.
If you saw, if you saw the footage
here for, you've seen the footage
where the, the image on your, on
your podcast right now, the thousands
of people crammed, trying to get
through that gate on believable.
What, what, what is Pakistan, John
Dewey for these thousands of people
that are trying to get in besides just.
Keeping the border pretty much shut so
that it's very hard for people to get in.
So hopefully they turn back and go home.
Here's wom man, what a great news network.
I kind of like these guys Pakistan's
in theater minister, Shea crush.
It says that not a single Afghan has
been granted refugee status to now
does Islam plan to do so in the future?
Why?
Because Pakistan fears that detritus may
try to enter the country in the GABA.
Now it's good to note that there's
quite the rival between India and
Pakistan when it comes to cashmere.
And it's clear that this
news network isn't a big fan
and at least this is anchor.
She is not a big fan of Pakistan.
That's rich from a country who.
Sport is terrorism.
The fact is Pakistan doesn't have the
appetite to accommodate more refugees.
It doesn't have the resources
or the money to keep them.
It played blood games in Afghanistan,
Tom, the Taliban brought them
to power legitimize their rule.
How could karma not hit back?
But for many in Pakistan, the
realization still hasn't kicked him
singing praises of the Taliban and
falling their flags, jumping their
slogans, telling the world how good.
Uh, the, the propaganda machine.
And that's what a lot of least, the
Afghan accounts that I follow a lot
of them are saying, you know, if for
those of you who are praising the
Taliban who don't live there, if you
love it so much, you can go live there
and, uh, That is, that's a good word.
That dog will hunt well
onto our next segment.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Post-truth society where we've
exchanged truth for lies and reason
for postmodernity rationality.
The absurd finally make sense.
And this is cool.
This is just rich.
Uh, this is great.
This little three segment
clip that the Americans.
Left the airport.
And I've seen some clips of American
soldiers complaining about how
they had to clean the airport up.
And they had images of these toilets
that were just overflowing, that
the troops were supposedly forced
to clean, but here's the, here's the
other side of the propaganda machine.
So that's, you know, the American
side, we were forced to clean up the
airport before leaving the other side
is the, that the Taliban is obsessed.
Why are they upset because they
destroyed military aircraft.
So us military and Afghan special forces
military aircraft on the way out as
if they should give them more than the
$85 billion that the U S government
has already handed over to, to the
Taliban and other terrorists networks.
M sixteens, military fatigues technology,
uh, armored vehicles and airplanes.
But, but here is the entitled, I
mean, the entitlement has start.
It just like it's starts so fast.
Here's here's uh, some of the
Taliban spokespeople talking about
giving a tour through the airport.
Um, the last thing they have
done to Afghanistan is to destroy
their unique international.
Yeah.
And all of the systems, all of
the, uh, stuff, equipment, um,
the cars, particularly they
have poisoned the armor cars.
The Americans have poisoned the armor.
No, if you want to get inside
the armor car, you will die.
Um, one the last sentence.
That's chemical laser with chemicals.
Yeah, of course.
The last sentence that I hired from an
American soldier, he was standing there.
He, and he said we were trying
to, um, to leave the airport
in a professional manner.
So now the world sees how professional
mirrors that the American leave here.
If, if you're looking at
clips, you can see all of these
helicopters that are damaged.
Elle copters with the engines, torn
out airplanes, C, C seventeens,
I believe totally destroyed
so that they can't be used.
And previous that, I
guess it didn't cut it.
Uh, the, this gentleman was
saying they destroyed these, these
airplanes, how horrible of them.
And again, as he said this, if this is the
professional manner that they're leaving
them as if they're entitled, do these
airplanes that were bought and paid for
by the us government, given to the Afghan
security forces who have fled the car.
Why, why do they think that the U S
government is going to in the military?
Just give them more.
Just, just here.
Here's our, here's our helicopters.
All on tack.
We hope that you can use them another
clip, uh, from again, this, this WWI.
I'm signing inside a hanger that has a
Chinook helicopters, the same Chinook
helicopters that were given by the
U S to the Afghan air force and the
Afghan army they've been damaged to
the point of beyond repair, but the
thought about engineer's hearsay,
that they would be able to do it.
Wow.
Th the Taliban engineer's say that
they're going to be able to repair
them, be able to repair a helicopter.
That if you remember the Afghan
military, wasn't even able to
keep a float and running with me.
Which is, this is one of the cause of the
downfall of the Afghan special forces.
If the U S pulled their men out, their
air support out and then block contractors
from being able to go in and service
their military, and the way that the
U S trained their military forces was
using air and light land infantry, and
having communication between the two.
Well, the African and security forces,
weren't able to maintain the air force.
And, and the maintenance that was required
on these vehicles and yet the Taliban.
So, so confident is saying, oh yeah,
these helicopters that have been
totally disabled, all the avionics,
uh, ripped out all of the engines,
stripped out, just totally destroyed.
We'll be able to repair it.
That is, uh, uh, just a breath
of confidence right there.
Um, maybe a little too confident,
but I mean, of course you just
took over the whole nation.
I mean, what, what can't be possible,
but again, the, the entitlement that
I can't believe, they just, they gave
these helicopters to the Afghans,
the security forces that we chased
out and were killing their guys.
But I can't believe they,
they destroyed them.
They should be right.
Just it's just so just doesn't stop.
Well, who who's in charge.
Who's in charge of the airport, right?
Yeah.
Ooh, what was seeing the entire operation
was Taliban leader on us, Connie,
Connie, brother of sirajuddin Haqqani,
who is the deputy leader of the team.
Oh, there it is.
The Connie's are taking over again.
This is one of many terror networks that
are, are deeply connected with the Taliban
and have deep ties to, uh, Al Qaeda.
And it brings you all the way back to
the beginning where you say two things.
One Autobahn is trying to disassociate
themselves with Tara and say,
oh, that, that Taliban from two
months ago, three months ago, doing
terror strikes, that's not us.
We've changed.
And yet you're putting terrorists in
and not just, not just like a title,
but these people organized suicide bomb.
Against civilians.
The other thing that makes you
think it goes all the way back to
president Joe Biden and saying, you
know, wherever these terrorists are,
who are threatening us, we're, we're
going to find them and get them.
We'll go there and find them.
Do you not realize where you just left?
Now?
I also realize that president Donald
Trump signed a deal with the Taliban,
which released many of these.
Uh, leaders out of prison.
And as I said before, they could
have been, and it might turn out to
be, uh, one of the greatest mistakes
that, that president Donald former
president Donald Trump, uh, ever made.

We'll be right back with a killer
quote for our Weaver and loom segment.
Welcome back to Weaver,
Lou, a part of the show.
We take ancient wisdom and we weave
it in with our everyday lives.
Own our future and weave our destiny
today's quote is actually in an ancient
Arab Arabic proverb, which goes like
this med or a Juliet , which translates
into English only stretch out your
legs to the extent of your blankets.
Now, this can be applied in
many different situations.
It can be applied in budgeting, you know,
don't, you know, live beneath your means.
Don't live above your means, but
this also, I think, is really fitting
for what has happened right now.
In some ways accidentally to the Taliban.
They have, they have extended
their legs beyond their blanket.
They are way out in the deep end,
over their head trying to run a
country that they've never run.
They've they've never been in
a position like this before.
I mean, 20 years ago.
Sure.
But that was a whole new world.
And now they have multiple terror
networks that are part of their network
that they're trying to make peace with.
They're trying to keep the peace
between how are you going to do that?
When the economy is failing,
when, when the nation is falling
apart, where you don't have a
government or a thousands or fleet.
And, and this is my.
That the Taliban has, has so quickly
taken over and they've, they've
overextended themselves so far.
That is, this might seem like,
oh, you know, the worst, the
worst thing that could happen.
Oh, this is horrible.
But what could come in the months?
It could be much worse as
if a civil war breaks out.
If, if everything erupts into absolute
chaos there, because they've extended
themselves further than they can maintain.
I've been reading a book on strategy,
which is talking all about this concept,
where we have an infinite amount of
goals and aspirations, but we only
have a limited amount of resources.
And in that we have to match our
limited amount of resources to specific
goals, to be able to reach them.
But what happens when we overextend
ourselves and we stretch beyond our
abilities, everything falls apart.
We saw this in multiple wars,
especially into Russia where military
forces just overextended themselves
into Russia in the dead of winter.
The Russian forces drew back,
which then caused these Germany
to totally falter and fail.
Often people point to it as losing the
war from it that overextending yourselves
too much, too fast can lead to your
downfall, taking too much land too fast.
And that.
Ladies and gentlemen seems to be
what is happening, what has happened
and what could continue to happen
with the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Will they be able to stabilize it?
Only time will tell.
Well, speaking of time, that's all the
time we have for this show today in
order to get more out of the show, share
it, talk about it with your friends.
You don't even have to.
Send the message or send the
episode to a friend, but talk
about these ideas with a friend.
It will sharpen your mind.
It will sharpen your understanding,
Ian, you should SMS or text someone,
whether it's your friend, your
spouse, your coworker, this episode.
Because they will feel more loved
knowing that you are thinking of them.
That is all.
Thank you so much for being here, go
out this week, discern the truth, learn
how to see the world, rightly to see
the world clearly to clear the fog
so that you might walk in the world.
Rightly as you ought to use that
you can fulfill your purposes
for your life on this earth.
So that you can own your future.
