    Default U.S. State Dept.: Taliban Shows Little Regard For Human Life

    OAN Newsroom
    UPDATED 7:27 PM PT – Monday, August 2, 2021


    The U.S. State Department has struggled to keep up with the crumbling situation in Afghanistan. On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the growing atrocities committed by the Taliban have posed significant problems for diplomats and military personnel in the country.
    “I think it speaks to a larger issue, which is this: the Taliban has repeatedly said that they seek in the future a number of things,” he expressed. “…None of those things are going to be possible if the Taliban seeks to take the country by force and commits the kind of atrocities that have been reported.”
    This came at the heels of a report from the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, which detailed the alleged human rights abuses conducted by Taliban militants. The commission reported the terrorist group killed at least 40 civilians during their capture of the Spin Boldak District of Kandahar Province last month.
    Researchers claimed the group targeted the civilians over suspected current and former ties to the Afghan government. They added many killed reportedly cheered on Afghan forces who were trying to take back the district.


    In response to the report, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul said the Taliban violated international humanitarian laws and the group’s leaders should be held accountable.
    “They show little regard for human life, for the rights of the Afghan people, including the basic right of the Afghan people to live in safety and security,” explained U.S. State Department Spokesman Ned Price. “The targeted killings, the destruction of buildings and bridges…other violent acts against the people of Afghanistan, we recognize they are in stark contravention to statements from the Taliban leadership.”
    In addition, Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani told members of the country’s parliament the situation in the country has worsened over the last three months. He blamed Joe Biden’s “sudden withdrawal” from the country.
    However, Ghani claimed he would work with American forces to bring the violence under control over the next six months.
    “We are seeking to do all we can to support the arrival at an outcome that is just and then importantly is durable,” Price stated. “To arrive at a solution and an outcome that is Afghan led, that is Afghan owned, and importantly, a solution that at least in our estimation, has to respect the basic and fundamental rights of the Afghan people.”
    Meanwhile, Secretary Blinken announced a refugee program to help Afghans who have aided the U.S. throughout the 20 year war. The program has aimed to help the refugees, who have reportedly been under persecution by Taliban forces, resettle in the U.S. with their families.
    Military experts have urged the Biden administration to take significant steps to deter violence from the Taliban. This includes providing extensive air support, surveillance and intelligence resources as well as not advocating for actions that look like concessions to the terrorist organization.

    How much do we pay the State Department to inform us the Taliban shows little regard for human rights?

    This thread addresses the redundant stupidity of the US State Department. If you wish to have your stupidity addressed, get in line and wait your turn.

    Which American tactics are they using?
    "when socialism fails, blame capitalism and demand more socialism." - A friend
    "You know the difference between libs and right-wingers? Libs STFU when evidence refutes their false beliefs." - Another friend

    The dem party is the one that keeps that hand tied.....
    As their goal is to weaken this nation-- yet they ARE never called on it in any way that really means anything...
    They have arranged a free pass for--THEM-- to engage in out and out treason and get by with it....
    Which is a recipe for further disasters and the eventual demise of this nation-- which is their goal.
    And here is why they will eventually succeed-imho-- they have spent decades setting it up where they are not ever called on it!!! --Tyr
    18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

    Could not make much sense of your strange reply . Apologies if English is not your first language .

    What exactly is , 'redundant stupidity ' ? Is it different from stupidity ? What is' non- redundant stupidity ' ?

    Why do you think attempted personal rudeness strengthens any vague point you had in mind ?

    Which turn have you in mind ? is it a real one or perhaps something revealed to you when in a trance ?

    Apparently you can't make much sense of the quote function either. Functions rather well when one is sober.

    Now explain why America crept away at night and directly handed back control to the Taliban .

    To the ones who do not ignore human life in the way america does when they kill women and children by bombing here , there and everywhere .

    Hope you have never boxed . Your chin would have fallen off .rofl .

    Default Britain has withdrawn nearly all its troops from Afghanistan - PM Johnson

    https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...an-2021-07-08/

    Bombing of Dresden: https://www.britannica.com/event/bombing-of-Dresden

    Throughout the war, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had called for increased British air raids against the population centres of Germany in order to swamp German authorities and services, particularly transportation, with hordes of refugees.
    On the night of February 13, the British Bomber Command hit Dresden with an 800-bomber air raid, dropping some 2,700 tons of bombs, including large numbers of incendiaries. Aided by weather conditions, a firestorm developed, incinerating tens of thousands of people.
    Piss off.

    At least America and their brave men and women are out there fighting evil all the time, and fighting terrorism. Don't worry, pussies like the UK can feel safe while they whine and bitch about Americans.

    Maybe you can grab a knife and attempt to play make believe with your friends?

    And save your "we fight too" bullshit. Tossing a few tough men here and there makes a tough country NOT. More like a country of liberal pussies running around tossing lame names at other countries to make their pathetic selves feel better.

    Some folks grab their 4 inch pocket knife and walk around London to go to their local internet parlor to go online and whine anonymously.

    Taliban, ISIS and all of the other scumbags have ZERO in common with Americans and/or their tactics. But their cowardly ways do remind me of folks from UK, France and other shitty locations.

    Don't toss the baby out with the bathwater, Jimbob. Royal Marines are pretty badass. They're stuck with the pussies that hide behind them even as we are.

    This clown doesn't care about the military nor the US. Just looking for anything it thinks it can use to get under someone's skin. Lofty goal
