Taliban, yeah? It's a damn shame. I mean, I cannot help but think if we had given it just, I don't know, maybe even just 3/4 of another decade. I really was seeing a turnaround there during random-president's tenure. Sheesh. Bummer, right?
But what do you do? The stakes are high. We will get to "print virus now" button-territory pretty soon here. Are we going to "blockade" that? Hehe. Wozers.
Maybe more rockets? Maybe France, Russia, America, and England, can all invade at the same time?
Spankings?
Those fucks [the Taliban] are about concentration of power.
Instead of another 20 years of strategic bombing, someone could establish a DOW to mass produce durable, usable, localized, no-brainer internet-enabled micro thingies that talk via Starlink or, or, ...something? HAM relays? Can Muslims use HAM?
If said "thing" could just transmit and receive a single sentence of Pashtun, per day (however many microbaud that is), it would be completely revolutionary. If it fell into "the wrong hands" they wouldn't be able to leverage it much, as I'm guessing those fucks mostly all have cellphones plans. Yours is paid for by your employer, so is theirs. Probably.
Mass-produce these things, and carpetbomb the whole country with them!!
Do you think that might work? You know, if we hit enough people with 'em?
