Sounds almost like DC. Shot Ashli and 6mos for parading.

I’m told Afghanistan is tribal. How can the spokesman in Kabul speak for the entire country?

They took down the Taliban flag and put up the Afghanistan flag. Apparently there is some resistance.

They are Mooselimbs and it is a Mooselimb country.

We have a POTUS who is literally is missing 50% of his brain from that Bleeding Aneurysm that he had to get done before the 2020 Presidential election.

Probably the reason why we never saw Biden at all during the 2020 Election cycle.

This is why we definitely know that the 2020 Election was stolen from our POTUS Trump.

Afghanistan was always fractional and there was always anti-Taliban resistance. Unfortunately, we disbanded the Northern Alliance in the name of nation building. But, they are organizing themselves as we speak. The war in Afghanistan is not over and will not be for a while.

With so many Tali’s flocking to Kabul this would be an opportunity to take some out on the sly.

Have them go into a house that is prepared and they never come out. Put up an Afghan flag in a courtyard and have a nice ambush prepared.

Just simply taking down a Tali flag isn’t “resistance”.

Jalalabad is a great place for our MSM to establish their headquarters. So much closer to their recruitment source.
