We understand this video is going to be controversial, and some of you will disagree with what was presented. We welcome an honest and respectful conversation in the comments below, but we discourage ad hominem.
Corrections:
- I understand that "South Central Asia" is a more accurate term to describe the location of Afghanistan and Pakistan instead of saying "The Middle East." We'll be sure to correct the wording next time a conflict is covered in this region.

I’m more worried they’ll just send it to Russia or some other country to clone it. China already copied the Blackhawk with their Z-20. They could make it even closer to the original with the original in Afghanistan.
So, who is watching this for a bit of context now that the Afghan government has collapsed today?

I was born on January 25th, 2001 in Afghanistan. Now I live in the U.S. Me and my family went through all of it. From soviet union invasion, civil war, and then end of the war (operation nothing) amid extreme poverty, corruption, lack of security and stability. Miraculous survival after experiencing a lifetime of war, poverty and displacement. Of course, we each got our own mental conditions (PTSD, GAD etc...)
I'm so glad you survived all these, and I hope you get everything in life you're dreaming for ❤️

the Taliban never refused to hand over Bin Laden or to attempt dispelling Al-Qaeda, Bush refused their terms and the Taliban had been attempting to dispel Al-Qaeda for years, particularly after the embassies were attacked in the 90's.
No many of the taliban went to Al qaeda or play both sides
Yes. After knowing this fact, I wander if US had not invaded Afghanistan and Iraq spending trillions for a President to play war hero, would US have less problems at home. The sad things is nothing good came out of it for the people of Afghanistan. They are just as poor and corrupt during and after the US occupation and the inevitable death of thousands of civilians caught in the cross fire.
Thank you!! Such f*cking American exceptionalist propoganda from this dude
What were the terms they gave to the United States?
Blatantly false, but whatever floats your boat
I’m watching this 3 years later and it is incredible of the evolution of your videos! Love your Chanel!!!
The TH-cam algorithm has a sick sense of humor

Seriously, after Kabul’s fall, I guess we can all use some context
TH-cam is basically trying to tell to the U.S "don't f*ck with others"
Bro they recommended Tom Cruise's stunt where he held on to a plane in Mission Impossible just as refugees are doing in Afghanistan. It's fucked.
Long story short: don’t intervene in other state affairs.

I like how you show the AK-47 being shipped with US supplies to Afghanistan. During the Russian invasion of Afghanistan the US shipped Russia's own weapons to Afghans to help them fight. They did not send US weapons.

When we lost the History Channel from the late 90's to reality TV, I'm thankful for your channel. Keep it up!
I remember watching hardcore stuff on history channel
Like people visiting head hunter tribes and what not
@@azmanabdula I remember watching their ww2, ww1, Vietnam and other war documentaries. It was a real interesting watch when I was a kid, now the History channel is trying to be like a&e, and it sucks hugely.
Yeah history and true crimes were my favorite growing up. Couldn't stand the clownery that is reality tv on their Network anymore
I hate what they did with the history channel
I used to love watching those old boring British black and white documentaries on both the world wars. Those were my favorite as a kid
Four points:
1)The Northern Alliance was in danger of failing after Massoud's death, and the Taliban had been pretty clear that they weren't going to respect international borders. The Taliban never truly ruled all of Afghanistan, just like Karzai's government also only had nominal power. It was their solidifying of power and threatening the borders of post-Soviet Central Asia that changed the situation. This is also why Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan provided bases to the US (also those governments like money too) and even Russia initially supported the invasion, because they had just gotten out of Chechnya and the civil war in Tajikistan so they were not wanting to have to intervene in Tajikistan again two years later. The potential existential threat to the world order and the realities of life under taliban rule were reasons why a broad coalition of NATO nations were involved in Afghanistan, unlike in Iraq where pretty much only the UK followed the US. While September 11th provided an excuse and made the war popular, I do not believe September 11th was the reason that the US invaded Afghanistan. Someone was going to do it, and taking care of Bin Laden would have been easier without a full-scale invasion. (Likewise the resolution to basically have the Iraq War happen and get rid of Saddam Hussein was passed in 1998 by congress as I recall, and Clinton bombed them in 1999.). Whatever September 11th was, it was mostly useful for propaganda purposes...it was not a strategic reason for waging these wars, at least not beyond special forces and drone wars.
2)ISI was divided internally as well: Pakistan's foreign policy is pretty clear though: India bad, do everything to keep India from getting any military advantage. Painting ISI as a monolith here...like painting Karzai's government or the Taliban as a single faction...fails to capture the complexities, since often certain leaders would act on their own...some aiding the US, some lying to the US, some actively undermining the US the whole time. There were numerous times where Bin Laden's Arab Taliban fell afoul of local sympathies as well...for example some of their number were killed after they destroyed graves...which...because of the old Sufi influence and even pre-dating Islam (I mean, Turkmenistan/Uzbekistan are the "home" of the bones of Adam and Mary according to the stories), graves being important is something that goes way back in the region.
3)For the people saying, "what did the US have to gain?" Markets for US products and raw materials for its companies. That's true of any invasion anywhere always, from Russia in Ukraine right now to Chingiz Khan. Also, at the time the US was expanding its power and influence in the Middle East, the former Soviet Union, and Central Asia. For many in the old guard from the USSR and the USA the cold war never ended, and many in the US have been quite eager to support color revolutions, Arab Spring, the expansion of NATO, and other expansions to their spheres of influence and profit.
4)When you create a "democracy" from the top down and flood it with millions in dollars in aid money, the result is inevitable: deep-rooted corruption, nepotism, and a government that will be dependent on aid money rather than for and by the people. The three million dollars to fight shows how the US ran this war and what happened after. That kind of leadership breeds resentment, not loyalty.
Look up warsoftheworld documentary on the history of afghanistan its amazing 🇦🇫
Can you tldr these?
TL:DR
1. Somebody was going to invade, 9/11 was an excuse at best
2: ISI was fractured and any information from them is shaky at best
3: The US had both political and financial motive to invade
4: The “democracy” we established was never going to succeed
For point 3, the US managed to make Afghanistan buy US weapons using its own taxpayer money and the occupation also created opportunities for military contractors to make profits.
What an awesome video I loved every minute of it cheers bud
I love how that single Taliban guy was like "awww."

It sucks we have to learn the details 19 years later. Imagine what goes on today that won't be confirmed until 2040. smh.
If there is a 2040
The "Uyghur re-education camps" are today's "big lie". Vocational education and training centers in which young people are taught job skills in addition to the national language and Chinese law are being construed as "concentration camps" by the same media companies that pushed the narrative of Saddam's "WMDs", of Kuwaiti babies being "taken out of incubators" by Iraqi soldiers and left to die. The US fears China's rise and wants to do everything in its power to sabotage China. I'm not going to be very popular posting this now, but in 20 years history will prove me correct. Ever wonder why China has allegedly been doing this for decades, yet we've only started hearing about this since mid-2018? This is why; it's 90% disinformation and 10% truth. Please, I urge you to look into this.
Here's a good video on the matter. th-cam.com/video/v_XI-aiCa34/w-d-xo.html
don`t even try to be "informed", better to be true to your own thoughts. you gonna be just more misinformed, not informed. so you get the feeling of not missing out if you just don't listen to the radio or watch tv anymore, wich is messing you up anyway. trust me. am a 32 year old guy that discovered there is no "truth" in history, it`s more like storytelling I guess
@@kimilsungia7507 If that's true then China can show and tell us everything about the camps. They won't, probably because they're not really re-education centers.
@@kimilsungia7507 Who cares about uyghurs lmfao
Just discovered this channel! I love the visuals and detail. Very well narrated. Respect to all who fought and those fallen to both sides.
Edit: all sides (obviously wasn't just the US and Afghans)
This is a great channel. Well done. Similar to the operations room. About the only place I can watch history.
Damn the animation is really getting better.
Yeah people keep commenting about the video going to be demonetised but god damn the animation looks hella better
@@Caesarea186 He's hired animators to help
This really is amazing, it's got alot of tiny nuggets of humor sprinkled in with the animation which just makes it so awesome!
My thought exactly! It seems like at least one new fancy technique gets added with each new video.
The Taliban “Offered no resistance” when the forces invaded the capital. So, just like the Afghan military when the Taliban took it back… lol
Apparently, Afghans don't do cities, only mountains and valleys.
@@octavianpopescu4776 this is true but its different. The taliban offered no resistance because its the US, if it was some other warlord or something they would have fought.
while the afghan army, I really dont know why they didn't do something to try and hold the city, they outnumbered the taliban like 3-1
How could Taliban showed resistance when Americans us their airforce and launch airstrikes with so many nato countries involve,taliban did show resistance,all the airstrike kill many taliban,civilians,houses,kids,woman,young and old,Americans attack their weapons,it take many many years for taliban to regroup and emerge stronger and become victorious,today they won,no special force of usa,uk or any nato can stop the taliban,it is not fall of kabul but the fall of America,no sas,no delta force can stop Taliban from taking over
@@Thunder97629 we shouldve just nuked the country and have done with it ..
@@Thunder97629 They cannot win any prolonged combined arms or conventional warfare, but they do know how to wait the superpowers out.
Your narration and cinematic quality of animation is second to none. Thank you for this great content.
Thank you for unlocking that core memory, that was the star wars battlefront 2 radar noise. Cheers to the editor!
As I am watching this the President of Afghanistan has fled and The Taliban have won, still comprehending the fact that we went to war for 20 years for no reason.
4 trillion taxpayer dollars down the drain, damn.
@@diego-bm7mi sadly, most of the budget goes to the military. Sigh
I saw a similar comment that says Afghanistan is this decade’s Vietnam
Can see why
Wouldn't say for no reason the US did accomplish things. The Taliban takeover was always going to happen when US operations ended no matter what it should be no surprise simply because the loyalty and bravery of the Afghan National Army is practically non existent. Full of corruption and people you would never be able to rely on.

Of course it's a right wing distortion. And its implications are apparent enough.
But it's always interesting to see such a similar talking point arise in so many different contexts.
Unfortunately for you, your recitation of this argument is less sophisticated than most I've seen. People have specifically claimed that Marx fundamentally misunderstood history, which is a claim more worthy of examination than this third-rate parroting on display here.

I was deployed in Afghanistan, spent some time in Sangin Valley and met a Gunnery Sergeant who was there advising Afghan soldiers. He told me how he fought to take control of this same valley almost a decade ago as a young Lance Corporal, and here we are again in the same valley retaken by the Taliban to fight again.
That's a very infantile perspective you have there regarding foreign affairs. Most people in that valley don't give a crap about you or I or the taliban. They just want to be left alone to live out their lives. How does gassing their land help us exactly?

what? did you tune in your news channel only when that copter got downed then tune it off again clueless of any other fights against the taliban?
@Vladimir makarov the ussr lost also so chill Russian troll
@Vladimir makarov I'm not sure you could say that America "lost." Suppressing a foreign regime, and making sure your own puppet is in charge, is not "losing." Sure, occupying Afghanistan was uncomfortable for both American troops and not least for "public opinion," but in the end they solved the mission. I'd call that a "win" personally, though it has elements of a phyrric victory. Albeit not in allied _lives_ lost, but in esteem and honour lost by the American government and people. This is where we learned that America is no longer the land of the free, and that they are just as ruthless and top-heavy as nations we don't normally like to compare ourselves with...
Americans were keenly aware of this loss of honour, and perhaps that is their biggest loss to date, because being faced with people criticizing them on every corner of the world can't be easy for a people who identify themselves as a bastion of opportunity, democracy and freedom. It is for _that_ reason Trump won so many votes simply by having a slogan saying "Make America Great Again". I mean, obviously America is "Great" as in a nation to be feared for their military power, but no American really wants to be feared. Americans wants to be loved, like they were in most of the world in the 50's and 60's (with the notable exception of the Communist nations).

As I write this , the last US military air craft has left Afghanistan with the Taliban in charge of the country once more. America has lost another pointless war.
The military industrial complex won, they will find another reason to bomb some more freedom lovers.
not a lost war as in Vietnam but a poorly negotiated transition, This is very different from Vietnam even though the end was so poorly conducted

@@TheArmchairHistorian When it came up, I paused your video instantly to comment this. Good form, sir.
God that map zooming was amazing, good old times
Damn! As soon as I heard that sound I went to the comments to see if someone else had pointed it out. Just the sound gives me flashbacks to sitting in the middle of the living room playing through the campaign over and over again.
If you have a spare hour, and If you actually want to learn about the war Vice's "This Is What Winning Looks Like" by Ben Anderson is actually a great documentary for how things have been going for decades there, and how the operational success actually was reported while in the ground the situation was completely different. Yes Vice you heard that right, on rare cases they do have some quality.
this was really good animation.
bruh every day in parts of the middle east is 9/11
That hit hard
911 was done by Bush anyway it was inside job as an excuse to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and cause conflict and civil war while stealing valuable resources and heroin blood money is one of the most profitable for war CIA are working with afghan warlords and drug lords in the opium trade
Indafield “911 was done by bush.” That’s a weird way of saying mossad
As a Middle-Easterner, I feel the Americans are being over-dramatic about 9/11. I get that it's a tragedy, but, come on, it's just two towers. If you combine all the bricks of all the destroyed buildings in the Middle East (or the US occupation of Iraq alone), you'd have enough bricks to build more than 10 World Trade Centres.
@Rajeev Vij 9/11 conspiracies make sense, given that fake reasons were used for the invasion of Iraq. You can take the easy step and just say "lol u beliv erth flat lol" too, your choice.
Let's see if this will stay monetized.
I watched this as he uploaded it, 1 add hours later, none.
keep rocking with the videos. iv watched 2 i think and when it starts your not too sure but having it cartoonified then its like cool man. alsmost like infographics but this is better i think so far
Great video
"Only a single unfortunate Taliban soldier has been left as guard" Bad Luck Ahmed
Lmao
What about now 2020 James lol
I figure that they figured the best they could do is keep any civilians from stealing their stuff, but if an army showed up it was a lost cause anyway.
I guess he surrendered considering the circumstances
“Awwwwee”
- Ahmed, 2001
"In July 2000, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, collaborating with the UN to eradicate heroin production in Afghanistan, declared that growing poppies was un-Islamic, resulting in one of the world's most successful anti-drug campaigns"
Yeah that's just muller Omar, now the taliban are the world's biggest opiom producer, the taliban love their opiom/heroin business, remember the taliban control helmand province and they love all those poppies🤑🤑🤑
Then came America and it was running at 110% of work supply.

That's Western Propaganda, While the US gets all the profit of Heroin/Opium production. Tell me Who smuggle drugs to Europe & America? Talibans or America?
🎬 While there are not many, the few movies about the Afghan War (2001-21) are really good:
1. The Outpost (2019)
2. Lone Survivor (2013)
3. 12 Strong (2018)
Outstanding
And almost 20 years later, PLOT TWIST, the US are still stuck in a war in Afghanistan.
i thought they signed a peace agreement about pulling out
I was wrong about Afghanistan . I figured 10 years and $1 trillion , It ended up 20 years and $2 trillion

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is why Afghan is a mess.
Afghans are heros
@I'm not flat, stop asking the US support was substantial and improtant tho, they supported the most dangerous militias
@GG Allin what bit us in the ass was abandoning them immediately after the russians left and allowing the vaccum.
@The Anteater you have a source? According to the vid Pakistan ❤ Taliban.
Afghanistan is a mess because of its ethnic tensions, religious extremism, and the over all shitty geography that doesn’t lend well to great infrastructure
5:44 I don’t think that was necessary😅
I just still can’t believe we left all our weapons and equipment to those savages. Who are now actually officially in charge of the nation.
When you look at the doings of US army u will understand who the demonic savages are
@@HashiramaSenyu Give me a break. US went to extreme measures to keep civilians safe while taking out insurgents. The same insurgents who have been terrorizing their own people in the name of their twisted and primitive beliefs. What examples of “demonic behavior” can you give about the US army/military?
@@Geojr815 why is Julian assange in prison?
Idc dude I’m not going to research these things just to prove to you American military is not evil that’s just a ridiculous accusation. They are for the most part good-hearted brave soldiers who deserve all the respect in the world for putting their lives on the line fighting these maniacs. They don’t storm into villages rape women and enslave the people. Again, the US military will always take extreme action to prevent innocent lives getting caught in crossfire. And then help the community rebuild their infrastructure and government.
@@Geojr815 a soldier can be as kindhearted as he wants but he has to follow the orders. That's what he/she has signed up for. And the orders come from the top echelons of the empire of s a t a n. American presidents are clowns elected by your real masters and the sad affair is you don't know your true masters. 😏
Nice video bro. Me being an afghan I can tell you got 95% of the History right, the only things you missed are that 1: Pakistan Never stopped helping the Taliban, Pakistan is helping the Taliban till the present day 2: America was never 100% in control, a few years after Karzai came to power Taliban controlled 50% of Afghanistan mainly southern parts 3: opium production continued after the American invasion but this time the profit split between western forces and the Taliban.
May God give you a peaceful and happy life brother love from india
Yall deserved better. My apologies for the failures of America.
God bless bro , we arabs algerians also in 1990 2000 faced same terroristes problems, what a shame to us
It was the us and pakistan who killed doctor najeeb and this is what is happening afghanistan suffers most of pakistan suffers except punjab while the US a d pakistani high officials have their pockets warm
@Rafael yes it was taliban but taliban were backed by US and pakistan and in an interview with a talib who was with mullah omar he said clearly that we had orders from mullah omar to surround dr najeeb's house and not to do any harm to him or his family but as we went there dr najeeb was already dead they had killed him placed a bottle of wine in his hand and were dragging him and according to that talib the only one that can benefit from dr najeebs death except taliban was pakistan because he was against pakistan

Exactly. Notice how ISIS is driving Ford and Chevy pickup trucks. Its and excuse to go to war so that the oil fields can be secure. Why do you think America hates Iran? Because they figured this out in the 50s unlike Saudi.
@Stephen Jenkins The US still made who Osama was and started this whole thing
@Stephen Jenkins It was still a war the US should never have entered
Stephen Jenkins you heard of mujahadin or even watched the video .... that was the US’s creation stop lying to yourself
@@daddykun7709 The mujahideen fought Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban, even if that was a failure and eventually created the circumstances in which the Taliban seized control of Aghanistan, that doesnt mean the US created the Taliban
