Currently watching the #timcast #timpool #podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlzGQyfg.. I never catch it #live (or at all), but there are some serious #truthbombs being delivered. They have ex- #afghanistan #soldiers on and they are talking about reaching out to #veterans ... Additionally they spoke about the unspoken #foodshortage that is ongoing, many #fastfood #restaurants are now unable to source #food or #labour ! I've also noticed rising food prices in recent months...
Looks like the #taliban in #afghanistan is about to become part of #china 's #ccp #beltandroad initiative as they have an estimated $1 trillion in #minerals they need: https://www.dw.com/en/afghanistan-taliba.. The Taliban needs to raise cash and *fast* - so they will except the CCP's offer to build the #infrastructure required. 20 years later and the Taliban #debttraps Afghanistan to China as the cost of the #us and #uk #taxpayer . Fuck.

His story is pretty epic, but some #commenters have rightfully pointed out that it was a poor choice of location for holiday. That said, I hope he gets out okay - hopefully he is able to share stories about the situation out there from a #civilian 's perspective.Well shit, a young #lad from the #uk is currently stuck in #afghanistan evading the #taliban https://twitter.com/Rimmy_Downunder/stat..

#aardvark sum up #afghanistan nicely: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0816.s.. "Be #ashamed #america , be ashamed." In all honesty, I think #biden needs to own up to this #shitshow of an #evacuation that has screwed over absolutely everybody in the #withdrawal process.

Oh dear, a posting at the #us #afghanistan #embassy is still up! https://www.daybook.com/jobs/APjftrJrSCT.. The #hackernews #comments on this are great: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281..

Seems as though the #us #embassy in #afghanistan has been #evacuated in a massive hurry: https://twitter.com/AdityaRajKaul/status.. I think at this point we might consider that #afghanistan is now lost. I suspect they will #withdraw #airsupport within the next few days too, as their people will be out...
The #us #government 's #president #biden 's #presssecretary #jenpsaki sounds as if they have now just accepted the rule of the #taliban over #afghanistan https://www.lotuseaters.com/jen-psaki-sa.. Very sad to see the US accept the Taliban onto the world stage like this, a shameful day.

Straight after #china 's #ccp started talks with the #taliban in #afghanistan - the #president of Afghanistan is now having massive problems with the #terrorist group again: https://www.lotuseaters.com/afghan-presi.. This is also after #biden committed to pulling out as quickly as possible too. What an absolute mess that situation is. I feel very sorry for the people there.
