      @@silentwatch7643 The Taliban are doing things Muhammad laid out n the Qur’an and Hadith. They extend these things to modern inventions that didn’t exist in Arabian culture. Clerics in Saudi Arabia did the same -complained about radio and TVs in the 1960s. The Taliban is even worse. When people say extreme that is only because the Taliban is following Muhammad and Islamic history such as Muhammad and his soldiers conquered tribes, destroyed statues (called idols), didn’t allow paintings, covered women, and so on. Entertainment too.
      What happens in madrassas is they totally immerse these kids into Islam and the fighting, hatred of non-Muslims which is all over the Qur’an…I’ve read it. Iran did this to boys when Iraq invaded them. Pretty much convinced boys to want to die for Allah.
      But even Wahhabist Saudi Arabia is now letting women not to have to wear the abaya but dressing respectfully, even allowing respectful music, especially ancient instruments and of course modern things. They still have some strict rules, some Qur’anic others cultural.
      It would be stupid if they followed the Qur’an’s allowing marrying cousins because we know that causes health problems and blindness.

      @@barbarossalivegaming I mean, the Taliban aren’t really a stable government. I feel so bad for the civilians in the area, they’ve been through so much. First the Soviets, then the individual corrupt leaders of each area. Then the Taliban promised the people stability and so the people supported them only for the Taliban to turn around and start enforcing tons of new laws on the people who just want to live. I don’t think the Taliban is all as bad as the western governments want us to believe, but there are certainly sections of their government which are horribly corrupt and oppressive.

      Atrocity propaganda is the spreading of information about the crimes committed by an enemy, often includes or features deliberate fabrications or exaggerations. Such stories are invented in every war, very much.
      In the west thousands of such fake stories are made against the Soviet Union. For making them look and feel bad. Propaganda psyops are mostly about making a gut feeling.

In fact they were pure occupants, there was nothing temporary about it and they only f...ed off after the collapse of the USSR.
      But this idea of "baby mines" or "toy bombs" seems very far-fetched to me! What probably happened was that kids out of curiosity picked up mines, not intended for them, they were the only interesting objects in otherwise monotonous desert and got injured or killed. I absolutely can see myself picking up such thing as a child. American anti Soviet propaganda turned them into toy bombs.

      ​@@elektrotehnik94 aka "pain that's not transformed is transmitted". The world is being run by the traumatised, power addiction is a pathology, the most socially costly yet socially ignored of all the forms addiction manifests, people who externalise their internal insecurities, it's never enough, no amount of controlling everything around the problem can address the problem, but they can't stop, there's too much pain in the empty feeling, pain they don't even recognise isn't simply a part of being human, healing is available, but how would they ever know? We haven't figured out that we should tell them, too confused by the "success" of their power attainment to recognise it as a symptom of a pain they don't actually want. Why be kind to a world that shows you no empathy for your pain?

A student journalist, named Karoline Haugsvær, came to me and asked if she could write a story on Afghanistan, since she was going to meet some people from the country and would get a fresh update on the situation there, and hardly any newspaper in Norway was reporting from there for quite a long time.I said 'Sure'. A few days later, on september 6th, we published our weekly edition. Her article was called 'Krigen verden glemte' - 'The war the world forgot'. Five days later, the world suddenly rememberd...

    While doing my conscription service our instructors told a "cool" story about the Russian infrantry mines used in Afghanistan. Basically the Russians just plowed them all over the place from airplanes and even they didn't exactly know where the mines were. This is not ideal if you have your own men on the ground as well... As a "protective measure", Russian soldiers started using sneakers instead of army boots because this way only your foot flew off if you stepped on a mine and not half of your leg (as military boots are quite high and laced rather tightly, the boot basically tore the whole lower half of the leg with it).

      For shape - "...was designed with a shape that would cause it to spiral down to the ground, removing the need for a parachute. " - nothing to do with kids.
      For purpose - "...being preferred by the military because they could be used to deny access to large areas to foot traffic." - nothing to do with destroying whole popultaion.
