... we and the country of Afghanistan were fucked. We could have been seen as the good guys, the Taliban would

Mission Acomplished.

The Chinese will subdue Afghanistan.

They are utterly ruthless.

I predict a coalition of China, Iran and Pakistan.

My phone seems to have a delay reaction when I click on a link. It pauses & opens an adjoining link. 🤬

I think its from all the ads trying to load the page 1st.
It annoying as heck. I will buy a star cuz the page coverage of ads are taking over the space for DU. They're aggressivly encroaching more & more ..
it ridiculous.

I have to donate anyway so will just do a twofer.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
