Afghanistan deadline

^That's true, the German army would have had an helpful populace in the Ukraine just for starters, other regions would have followed soon enough but the Germans started killing them instead, what a bleeding screwed up strategy.

The German defence ministry plans to pull out even earlier than originally planned, and be done July 4th, if NATO plans allow. The plan before eyed mid August.

Germany may be withdrawing its armed forces. But the development of Afghanistan is still an ongoing mission. Now in the hands of private contractors and corporations. In Germany's case it seems to be focused solely on building communities and infrastructure.


The U.S. and British are doing the same thing and as I mentioned earlier so is Russia. However in addition to building better relations through community, and infrastructure. The U.S. and British seem to have quite a formidable corporate army & security forces, hired guns if you will, at their disposal too.

Because contractors operate in the shadows, without effective public oversight, they allow policymakers to have their cake and eat it too – by appearing to withdraw, while keeping proxy forces in theater.

Withdrawing declared troops from Afghanistan does not mean the end of our involvement. Not an easy job, but its never been the quagmire everyone cries about either. For one, unlike the British march from Kabul we're no longer using 1860's technology. Neither do have (at the moment) a crippled economy like the Soviets which IMO was the reason they were forced to withdraw.


However from this point on much of what happens in Afghanistan will be up to the Afghans.

To get you started, we believe these are the top ten private military and private security employers. You could feel proud of yourself if you secure employment or start a career with any of these companies!

No no. We dont hire mercenaries or killers. I think the new woke term is corporate security force. lol

Story time. Some of which I admit I dont agree with. Still, an interesting foreign opinion.

Unocal , Bridas , Taliban and the Turkmanistan Gas pipeline

The Caspian Basin located under the Central Asian states of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakkstan, holds an estimated 300 trillion cubic feet of gas and 100-200 billion barrels of oil. Securing the world’s last remaining known energy Eldorado is strategic priority for the western powers. China can only look on with envy.

Contrary to What Biden Said, U.S. Warfare in Afghanistan Is Set to Continue

... What Biden didn’t say was as significant as what he did say. He declared that “U.S. troops, as well as forces deployed by our NATO allies and operational partners, will be out of Afghanistan” before Sept. 11. And “we will not stay involved in Afghanistan militarily.”


But President Biden did not say that the United States will stop bombing Afghanistan. What’s more, he pledged that “we will keep providing assistance to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces,” a declaration that actually indicates a tacit intention to “stay involved in Afghanistan militarily.”
And, while the big-type headlines and prominent themes of media coverage are filled with flat-out statements that the U.S. war in Afghanistan will end come September, the fine print of coverage says otherwise.


....“Regardless of whether the 3,500 acknowledged U.S. troops leave Afghanistan, the U.S. military will still be present in the form of thousands of special operations and CIA personnel in and around Afghanistan, through dozens of squadrons of manned attack aircraft and drones stationed on land bases and on aircraft carriers in the region, and by hundreds of cruise missiles on ships and submarines.”

Yeah or if any real live Taliban were actually harmed.

After reading another article from the same source. The 81 killed may have been in response to a Taliban attack on a Afghan government post the previous day.


I blame racism,

They were probably sheep herders who were either caught sleeping in their beds or they were caught red handed interfering with the livestock, I've been told they don't take kindly to such goings on.

And so it begins.

Large scale violence grips Afghanistan
https://www.afghanistannews.net/news...ps-afghanistan

When will the USA realise that a large portion of the Afghan population don't want any western infidels in there country, these attacks will continue until the Westerners **** off and leave them to it.
Being the cynic I am, which Western individual has the most to gain from the Security Services being there and, it wouldn't have to do with them protecting his green fingered endeavours would it.
