Then, just as American troops began leaving the country in early May, Taliban fighters besieged seven rural Afghan military outposts across the wheat fields and onion patches of the province, in eastern Afghanistan.
The insurgents enlisted village elders to visit the outposts bearing a message: Surrender or die.
By mid-month, security forces had surrendered all seven outposts after extended negotiations, according to village elders. At least 120 soldiers and police were given safe passage to the government-held provincial center in return for handing over weapons and equipment.
“We told them, ‘Look, your situation is bad — reinforcements aren’t coming,’” said Nabi Sarwar Khadim, 53, one of several elders who negotiated the surrenders.
The truth is, this is a good thing in the end. While the Taliban rule is brutal, it also means peace for a war-ravaged country. It also means our American brothers no longer have to fight and die in a backwards desert nation.
Because the thing is, we were never going to win. Not when our goal was democracy. Different nations and different ethnic groups need to be ruled differently, and no muslim nation will ever submit to what the US calls "democracy." The people of Afghanistan hate us, and they hate our way of life. There are plenty of stories of our soldiers' kindness to civilians, but what they don't tell you is that these acts are hardly repaid in kind. One veteran once told me that when he and his company liberated a large supply of oil, they gave it to the nearby town because it wasn't suitable for US vehicles. The town used it to heat their homes for several weeks, before it ran out. Instead of being grateful for such a generous gift, they attacked and harassed soldiers until they fired a rocket over the town to keep them in line.
We could've won if we were honest. It was always about the oil supply, and the military industrial complex. Over time, the soldiers who went there have come to terms that they were not there to protect their country. They were there to expand the American empire. So why not be honest from the beginning? At the time, we were the world's only superpower, by far the strongest nation on Earth. We should've simply invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, set up military dictatorships, and plundered everything. We keep all the oil, we keep all the vehicles and the weapons, and we send everything home to add onto our own wealth and resources.
We should've made them tributary states, much like the British Raj, or the Belgian Congo. Instead, we let our European allies take it all, while it was our blood and steel that won the loot. Even better, I recall that Ron Paul supported issuing letters of marque to private enterprises willing to go and fight terrorists. Now that would've been badass. But the neocons couldn't let anyone question their narrative.
All this is why I don't doubt for a moment that Bush had advance knowledge of 9/11. It's just too convenient for the neocon warhawks, that a devastating attack give them a casus belli for the longest war in American history. It's what gave them moral strength throughout the 2000s- opposing the terrorists makes them the real American patriots... while they bleed the country dry by inviting millions of refugees in.
And so we fought a war for imperialism, instead of democracy, and money instead of patriotism. But the Taliban was fighting for their way of life. And there's the Whitepill in all of this.
When you have a real reason to fight, if you keep on, and never surrender, eventually victory is inevitable. The American cause was based on lies, while the Taliban was based on truth. When this plays out in our domestic struggle, you'll see what I mean. Our political establishment is built on a house of cards. They cannot stop lying about anything and everything. Our media paints the BLM riots as peaceful protests, while the January 6 occupation was an "insurrection." People are catching onto this. We speak from a position of power- with the truth on our side.
And more than that, just like the Taliban, we are fighting for our way of life- for our right to exist as a people. We are motivated, determined, and devoted. The enemy is deceived and destitute. This is why cops are deserting en masse, and why companies are folding under the weight of their wokeness. They instinctively know the truth is not on their side. In the end, all Whites will join our cause as soon as the choice is made clear- this is a war for survival.
I don't know what form America's collapse will take. But whichever it is, we will be the ones most ready for it.
