  • Fuck you mother fucker who the fuck are you talking about Afghanistan to talk about your mothers pussy on youtube fuckwit not Afghan

  • This seems to make me think that the Taliban is not as united as people make them out to be. Divide-and-rule and cementing factional alliances as well as "rehabilitating" the Taliban\Warlord power dynamics appears to be in the best interests of Obama's Af-Pak policy.

  • The Taliban will become pacified once the rebel leaders are weakened by NATO, and when Abdullah Abdullah (or Karzai if lucky) maintains strong Warlord backing followed by a proxy-Pakistani business and military dealings with certain elements of the Taliban through people like Qazi Hussain Ahmad. There are of course lots of other complex go-betweens and proxies that will be required but its essentially divide-and-rule tactics.

  • Pepe ... keep'em coming.

    You are the best !

    ... surprised you didn't mention the opium .. but OK, it's mainly about the chess game of oil.

  • Pepe does his best to present such an insanely complicated picture, but his claim that the US/NATO strategy is to work with & rehabilitate the Taliban, and to be seen as a "pacifier power" is hard to take seriously, given that NATO forces are actually at war with the Taliban as we speak.

  • And don't forget the heroin.

  • this shit face knows nothing.

  • do you mean, we are very close to build gas line?

  • excellent video for my simple brain, thank you.

  • as afghan we all know US and Nato is not here to help and rebuild the country .

    they have rubbish plan in region BUt afghanistan is thier pitch they can play in here to score their goals.

    i remember 10 years back talaban had fighter jets, tanks, pakistany army BUT they were not able to fight with Ahmad Shah Masoud NOW US army Nato all this shit they can not finish taliban????? it is funny,
