Afghan Taliban Smashed whole convoy of ANDSF

[Tokhme khar]

More than 70% of Afghanistan is Persian/ Uzbeki/ Hazara........Who are we kidding! We can genocide big time........but we won't! it is against our culture and it is a stupid thing to do. Live and let live.

There have been hundreds of phone calls to Iran from the US military requesting talks. For now are ignoring the hillbilly!

LOL, you always make me chuckle with such lines. Agree bud, Iran has a huge role to clean up this mess in the end. Talibunny worst nightmare!

Well let's see. Talibunny need to be taken down a few pegs...so they know who the real boss is. I agree Iran is showing restraint for the better right now....lets hope for the best.

There's no payout for us here......this is the main issue. Potentially we'd get stuck in a useless quagmire.

There are two factions, the humanitarian/ strategic one egging us on. and the cautious/ much more sensible other camp.

Discussions are on with Russia/ China on what to do, whether this is worth our blood and treasure. We need to be careful. Mind you, Iran would not get involved without a reward.

Yep all about investing the proper amount. Lets see what that will be.

 

[ziaulislam]

Just to clarify there is no Tajik, Pakhtoon,Hazara for us as Afghans. We are Afghans first, loyal to the Afghan state and her interests. Be it Talis today, X tomrrow anyone and any country that threatens Afghanistants interest is the enemy!

Tell that to indians and pushtoons of peshawar whom you bomb the shit out in 1990s...why do you think we supported the talis

Things have changed now but what happened in Afghanistan was and is due to ignorance and arrogance of Afghan people

Even today they sit and claim to conquer Pakistan what kinda arrogance is this ?

 

[Tokhme khar]

Those Iraqi bad eggs have been disciplined and many severely punished by Hadi al-Amri and many others. Torture is a giant no no in our Iranian culture. What (some) Iraqi militia's did out of revenge is an absolute disgrace to Islam.

electric drills are pretty efficient. it worked in iraq

you supported the talibs because they were only ones who take orders from u

i do not condone torture. but it worked in iraq

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

The talibunny's keep this up, the percentage of pashtu speakers in Afghanistan will continue to rapidly decline. Russia/ China/ CIS/ Iran/ US/ India will not allow a talibunny takeover.

They tried that before and they failed.

 

[Abu Zarrar]

Pakistan is the only country which want to see Afghanistan peaceful.and we are doing whatever it takes to make it.we are fencing the border so that their is no cross borders infiltration from both sides.
and US ?it just want a face saving

 

[TMA]

No we are not. We are on the side of the Afghan national unity government. Its a whole heck of a lot easier to deal with Iraqi's/ Syrians/ Afghani's/ Turks/ Kurd's etc than it is with the global arrogance.

Last week Zarif specifically said that it is stupid to wish away the taliban as if they don't exist. They are afghans and should have a role to play in the government so as long its not a dominant one. Pashtu speaker are 35% or so....so commensurate with that they should have a say in the government of that country.

Only 35%, i thought it was more like 50%....

Nobody will buy the rhetoric on the NA people being ex communists. That's not true. The NA comprises all communities of afghans including pashtu speakers. Iran's support to Afghanistan is based on its history and relationship with its various ethnicities. Obviously the ones who speak Persian comprise the majority. They have traditionally held power. So we have close relationship with them. Its a language bond. Afghanistan was part of Iran until 1856.

Oh...I am sure some Afghans will not agree that Afghanistan was part of Iran until 1856....
But wait this means the 5000 year old history of the State of Afghanistan is not true(????)

so does my hairdresser ? a pasthun from Herat

So does a colleague of mine who is an Afghan (Pukhtoon) from Jalalabad.

 

[Tokhme khar]

Afghanistan's national language is Persian!. Even the pashtu speakers are bilingual!

What does that tell you?

I have yet to meet an afghani Pashtun who speaks farsi! I have met many tajik and other farsi speakers speaking Pashto! There are tens of thousands afghani in my town.

It tells me that Persian is spoken in Afghanistan.
But it does not tell me the percentages.

I will give you another example...in the Gurkhan e Mughal, the official language was Persian....does this tell me the percentage of Persian speakers in the erstwhile Mughal Empire?

I have yet to meet an afghani Pashtun who speaks farsi! I have met many tajik and other farsi speakers speaking Pashto! There are tens of thousands afghani in my town.

It is the “educated” ones that had the opportunity to go to school that speak Dari.
I know a few Afghan Afghans who know Dari as well as their native tongue Pukhto.

Might be a possibility but meeting afghani pashtun in Pakistan and here in the Uk I have yet to hear them utter farsi.

Why would they utter Dari? Amongst themselves and Pak Afghans they will naturally use Pukhto. And speaking to non Afghan Pakistanis either Hindi (Old) or English.

But ask them if they know it, you will be surprised.....I found out when m Afghan Afghan colleague starting speaking Persian to our Iranian Collegaue...
