Remind me, who spent billions funding and training the Taliban?

Remind me, who spent billions funding and training the Taliban?

Pakistan?

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

Meanwhile the USA possibly spent almost a bil on training camps in Pakistan, and who knows how much on the Pakistani ISI.

The differences are the brand of truck they use, and that the Taliban actually seems to use the truckbed.

Lots of Christians believe that, come the end times, they will be bodily taken up into heaven. (That's the reason for embalming, to preserve the body for judgement day.) Since, of course, they'll take their trucks with 'em, they don't use the bed now. It'd suck so much to spend eternity with scratched paint.

Ya'll Qaeda

They are NOT pro gun, they are pro control. Guns are for the ruling class only.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes! I wish the left would wake up. Now is not the time to be disarming yourselves.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

When the user said "they" it was in reference to the GOP.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who? The republicans are firmly pro guns. If you're american, just buy one.

Did you mean the Taliban being pro guns laws?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Republicans have and will pass laws that make it harder for nonwhites to obtain firearms, and they have raided and will raid nonwhites who stockpile firearms.

One difference is that the Taliban are arguably pro-immigration, as long as the immigrant is a muslim who does as they're told.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

GOP are also pro immigration so long as the immigrant is rich and white.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

And does as they are told.

"But the left one doesn't put burqa on women, therefore they're pro-women!" - delusional cultural-christians

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

They are one and the same. Rightwinged extremism is just the same thing with different skins.

[–] TheCleric@lemmy.org 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn’t that ISIS, not the taliban?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You may be right about the pic, considering the seal on the flag.

I did some research on the Heritage Foundation, which is who is really running the country right now. They're the people behind Project 2025s. Their president is a member of Otis Dia A radical Catholic group.

In essence, our country is being run by a radical Catholic group... You're on point.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Otis Dia A radical Catholic group.

Opus Dei?

Yeah, but the Taliban are at least not so nationalistic that they can recognise the usefulness of the engineering chops of manufacturers like Toyota. Say what you want, 10 years from now those Toyota Tundras in the desert will still be running. It's a crapshoot with the Ford F-150s.

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

Y'all-Qaida

[–] Brainsploosh@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Y'all Qaida, or maybe the Yee Hawliban?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Just YeeHawd, a play on Jihad.

[–] FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

And then somehow, we have the self described “model leftists” doing this:

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Religious extremists gonna extreme religion.

[–] aramova 6 points 2 days ago

Religions don't spread by the quality of their truth, but rather the quality of their violence.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I found it! The left uses Rams/Chevys/Fords and the right uses Toyotas.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Aren't Dodges supposed to plow thru the middle?

That's why it says Dodge right on the front there.

They have such an apocalypse fetish. Im not one to kink shame but its gross.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Uh... I'm pretty sure that's exclusively an American Christian thing. Other religions, and for that matter non-American Christians, don't usually do the "we have to accelerate the end of times" thing. It's one of those weird things Americans cooked up.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

evangelicals :/

That's... Wow. I guess reality is stranger than fiction.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Looks like the Taliban prefer Japanese imports... 🤷

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

The Toyota Hilux is a guerrilla classic. Mega US trucks have nothing on it.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Murican junk would never have a whole war named after it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War

the left needs to be more pro gun if they want to solve this

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

While I am a pro-gun leftist, being a pro-gun leftist absolutely wont solve this.
