Time magazine: “we don’t know how yet, but we’re gonna find a way to link the rise of fascism and avocado toast”
Hahahahhaha OMG. Yeah once the whole pew pew part of the insurrection is over and you actually take over the government, the whole running the government part isn’t as fun now ain’t it?
What a bunch of idiots.
The weird thing is that they used to be in power, before the 9/11 American “freedom spreading” spree in the region.
Nah, those guys were boomers/gen-xers and have probably either all died off or retired from this nonsense. The Taliban in charge now are millennials/zoomers who likely grew up getting told all about the glory days but not the drudgery.
And they were in power because the US helped them get there. This article praising Osama bin Ladenisn’t The Independent’s finest hour 😬
That’s not what happened,
The US sent Pakistan materials to supply to local Mujihideen to provide support to the US assisting the Northern Alliance, AKA the guys they were later supporting against the Taliban once the Taliban basically all but chartered the planes for Bin Laden.
You’d be amazed how many of america’s problems in the region trace in some way back to “Pakistan did it.”
Like it’s not unreasonable to guess that Kissinger croaked because his old heart couldn’t take how America’s foreign policy was becoming way more aligned with those “commies” in India after just a few terrorisms and genicides on Pakistan’s part.
It does go to show that people sometimes don’t think ahead. They seem to have only ever considered the present and now reality hit them in the face lol. Similar happened to Trump when he was elected and suddenly had to…you know…work.
It does go to show that people sometimes don’t think ahead
The Independent sure didn’t!
I mean, isn’t this like people predicting the year 2000 from the year 1920 and people in 2020 making fun of that being wrong? In neither situation could the future be predicted.
