    I did say that support of Taliban , by outside powers , during ethnic conflict will result in ethnic cleansing . Now the proof . Time for IRGC to send direct and indirect help to people of panjshir who are victims of Taliban . Taliban must go back to pashtuns area in Pakistan .

    Down with Taliban .

    Ethnic cleansing is a bullshit buzzword thrown around willy-nilly every time Uncle Sam or his Brussels asswipes want to pull a sneaky on someone

    If they want to sell me on the ethnic cleansing they better deliver evidence (real one)

    Russia has declined to take part in the inauguration ceremony of the new Taliban govt.

    Clearly it's not impressed with its dominance of hardliners and inability to form a coalition with other stakeholder groups in the country (probably Tajiks).

    Or maybe it has still not made up its mind.

    Wonder what China's position is.

There seems to be no shortage of sand out there and putting it directly into the engine is not recoverable from without huge skill.

    Well they are skilled and would cleab the engines fast.

    Burning them is so quick and easy. Just put oil everywhere inside and burn it.

    Or throw one or two grenade o inside and inside the engine.

    I guess they engineering troop could have provided bombs.

    It's really easy to destroy vehicles, I really don't understand why they let all of them there in good cobditions. They really wanted Talibans to use them.

    Not sure how you could easily repair an engine that has run with sand in its bearings if it was in the oil, or in the injectors, fuel pumps if in the fuel. Either way the vehicle is immobilised awaiting stripdown and new parts, from the US Very Happy

    @ Jhelb

    "...Einstein was Patent Office Clerk - make the connection...." . I was reading a book by him , and despite his talents as physicist , he was truly blinded by his Jewish religion and personal experience of Nazism , into blanket support of Zionism . Thinking that Zionism would be a liberating force for the Arabs too . The lesson here is never allow personal bias to cloud your judgement . Not easy at all .


    @ Papa

    ".....If they want to sell me on the ethnic cleansing they better deliver evidence (real one)..... " The video clip shows vehicles and people on the Road , the voice on this video says that they are leaving Panjshir because of the violence there . If it is not a fabrication , then at least is proof of war refugees . And at worst deliberate expulsions . It could be too late to stop the escalating violence , by demanding evidence of thousands of millions displaced . Time to act is now . A short sharp message may be enough to stop the Talibs from offensive .

    @ Flaming python

    "....Wonder what China's position is........" A logical position , I believe , is a conditional response to Taliban . E.g. ; withdraw forces to tribal area or no candy !


    @ JohninMK

    Not sure if they deliberately left equipment intact . Since some evidence of destroyed helicopters in Kabul and freezing of Afghan funds  . Could be disinformation . If not then incompetence on their part . Too busy thinking about getting on next flight . Leaving the poor Dogs behind . .........

    Forces in Panjshir say Taliban conducting ethnic cleansing
    Representatives of the radical Taliban movement have expelled thousands of people from the Panjshir province in northern Afghanistan and are also carrying out ethnic cleansing, the representative of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan Ali Maisam Nazary tweeted, Report informs referring to foreign media.

    “The Taliban have expelled thousands of people from Panjshir. They are committing ethnic cleansing, and the world is still watching and ignoring this situation. We urge the International Community to stop these war crimes,” Nazary tweeted.

    In August, amid the withdrawal of the US military contingent from the country, the Taliban seized all major cities and border crossings in the country. However, the Panjshir province remains impregnable. The Taliban managed to capture only the main road.

    https://report.az/en/other-countries/forces-in-panjshir-say-taliban-conducting-ethnic-cleansing/





    Sources from the National Resistance Front sent videos to Amaj News telling them that they are still in control of most of the strategic parts of Panjshir and are fighting as guerrillas. But the Taliban say they have full control of Panjshir.

    They say 'ethnic cleansing' but the Taliban are saying that they are allowing whoever wants to leave to do so, so that they do not get caught up in the next round of fighting. The Taliban appear to be trying to save civilians who might get in the way and create bad PR.

    Taliban saving civilians by " helping them out of their homes " , is ethnic cleansing . Why not just leave the area alone ? They are obviously not wanted there . I think volunteers from Iran and neighbouring countries should go to Afghanistan to help defend these populations . Since the Mullahs and religious right wing , prefer a Taliban religious dictatorship and not a democracy .

    Just imagine if Northern Afghans managed to form a Democratic rule . What a shining example to all in the region . No wonder the dictators do not like this . The fighting men of Panjshir are freedom fighters . They are showing that you do not need a Mullah in charge , to be free or brave . A democratic revolution awaits .

    This theory does the round in Pakistan's military circles on a regular basis.

    According to Pakistanis just 2 squadrons of PAF kept the Soviet Union away from Paki airspace during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and 2 PAF squadrons shot down 8 Soviet/Afghan fighter aircraft  without losing any to the enemy.  Future vice president Alexander Rutskoy then Colonel was captured after ejection prison for few days then handed back as goodwill



    Basically trying to suggest then can repeat such operations if need be.

    Pakis are claiming that they shot down Soviet fighter jets. That aside, why would the USSR deploy bombers without supporting them with fighters knowing fully well that Pakistan Air Force is already targeting Soviet bombers.

    What kept the russian air force from bombing the shit out of Pakistan were politicians in Moscow, not crappy paki fighter jets.

    Back in the day they didn't have precise GPS or similar stuff to guide themselves.

    Going in foreign airspace happened more often than today wheb operating near a border.

    And they were all more happy and more likely to push the weapon button. Just look at the number of civilian aircraft that get destroyed because of that.

    The su-24 downing in Syria by Turkey was a common thing during cold war.

    "....Tajiks have been included but Shias have been left out......"  Tajiks and others have been included in Taliban pashtuns occupation . This is the most important fact . One that means no peace in Afghanistan . The NRF should publish the ethnicity of captured Taliban . It will become clear how many are from Pakistan and now many from Afghanistan .

    It is better that Shia are included in power sharing arrangement . But not enough . We are still left with minority rule , lack of elections . A religious dictatorship representing the interests of traders and Land owners .

    The most help for all Afghans apart from food aid , is to help push tribal elements out of regions , where they are not wanted and do not belong . Using different methods  of giving or allowing self defence for besieged communities .

    Where ethnic cleansing is being carried out , air drops of food and light arms and ammo are needed . For the defenders . This is far cheaper than dealing with the consequences .

    Afghan refugees from tribal regions , displaced by Taliban should be allowed defensive arms and organised and air dropped into regions occupied by Taliban . 100,000 rifles and basic supplies is very doable and will ensure Northern route open for Iran and Tajik and Uzbek and Turkmen to China .

    Good news for Afghans I hope . Trade should be allowed for all regions of Afghanistan , up to and including trade routes to Central Asia and China . Iran should continue with food aid to all regions and protect all communities in Afghan Ostans , as it protect own Iranian Ostans . Especially those regions subject to occupation and ethnic cleansing .
