Before Russia made all the daily front pages, another event had the world's attention: the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Many expected the worst from this new regime based on the most fundamentalist interpretation of Islam and, my dear friends... they were not wrong.
The constant violations of human rights, the persecution of ethnic minorities, the destruction of all rights and freedom of women and girls, the harboring of terrorists and much more has earned the Taliban a textbook international isolation, and the consequences are devastating.
How did the Taliban get here, how are they ruling Afghanistan, is the government being as disastrous as many say it is, or will they have improved the management of the country, and who is courting the Taliban today?

No surprise that the Taliban are acting just like...the Taliban.
You don't have problems with the Taliban but Islamic laws. This is a war against Islam
I prefer to call them the Pharisees from Hell!!!!!:/
The world respects only the powerful and the Taliban is well aware of that
Yet people are suprised
Afghan people might feel the West abandoned them and the West might feel Afghans never had the stomach to fight for their country and nation build anyway. Both are probably right.
This is the correct answer
I want to see how enthusiastic you are about war, when your nation is war torn for decades without end.
@@justsefa1843 Ever heard of the Hundred Years' War? Well that name is a lie. It lasted 116 years.
@@pgr3290 The 100 years war was not conducted with the same destructive capabilities. It was more like one army raised here, one battle here, stale mate for a couple of years, etc.
Modern wars cost daily lives and even the Napleonic wars themselves were so devastating that the leading figures actively tried to prevent getting themselves into a similar mess, regardless of feelings.
So no, your example is absolutely ridiculous.
West gave them billions of dollar, built their roads schools hospital industries, spent billions on training of Afghan national Army, promoted women education and women participation in work force.
But Afghan soldiers surrendered to taliban without firing a single shot because deep down Afghans know that Taliban is on right islamic path and democracy is a evil western ideology.
There are countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore that developed themselves because of American intervention.
Thing is you cant change someone if he doesnt want to improve.
USA spent trillion dollar in Afghanistan, did everything for them but Afghanistan failed because afghanis do not want to be changed.
I love how you blame Trump for it all while he was not even the President during the withdrawal it was Biden.
Biden did not even leave contractors behind to maintain the planes
it seems you don't know much about politics. It doesn't really matter who was president during the evacuation itself
Trump started the withdrawal, Biden had to end it
Wow. I would tell you that pulling out was originally trumps plan and Biden is the one who implemented it. But like most trump voters. Facts don't mean much to you. Especially when those facts include dear leader.
@@juaan6359 It seems you are the one who does not know much about that. Yes it does matter because whoever was president at the time had control over how the evacuation was done and could have done it a different way. booyah got ya nice try better luck next time kiddo
Tali BAN everything; No music, no haircuts, no ties, no women, no school, no aid, no life, no nothing. Eventually things can only improve.
Tell me about it, I was there a few months before the takeover to do some filming. I remember going for a haircut and a shave and being served an energy drink with Bollywood music playing in the background and at night smoking hookah at my hotel rooftop lounge (no alcohol but no big deal) now all of that is gone. All of the friends I made have either left or trying to get the hell out of there.
You mean no evil
@@hanzalaomar9915 Not at all. I wish Afghans would have the freedoms that I enjoy. At the very least, they should be afforded the freedoms they got to taste while the west was assisting.
Saudis are slowly gaining more freedoms, probably largely thanks to them wishing for western standards. Why would you deny it the Afghans?
@@wamingo basically, you want them to be as evil as you are?
@@hanzalaomar9915 Liberty makes you evil? Explain.
The one difference I notice is that for once, everything going on in Afghanistan is not the USA's fault. We should keep it that way.
Yes, the US should focus on only thee courtiers: China, India, and Russia. These are the only countries with demographic and geopolitical potential to become super powers.
It is USA fault since the 1980's when US start supporting extremists to fight USSR.. the later forme Taliban, AL-Qaeada, ISIS ..etc.. If USA mind its own Business in 1980's so many thing would go better
@@EngineerShaikhAbd-ul-AzizfromBIndia is a US ally against China, though
@@EngineerShaikhAbd-ul-AzizfromBthere’s more countries with potential.
Yeah like bombing the country for 20 years, and then sanction them and stealing their assets....
"The afghan government fell much more quickly than anyone would have expected". Anyone who went to combat with the "ANA or "ANP" knew they did not have the backbone to stand up to the taliban. Anyone who worked with politicians and local power broakers in Afghanistan could have told the US government that they were prepping for our pull out and in bed with the TB. The reason it was a 'surprise" was wishful thinking on the side of US politicians and careerism on the part of senior US officials, basicly giving false reports to make their efforts seem like they were "making effects" on the ground in Afghanistan.
That makes total sense 👏
I think they would have the backbone to fight the Taliban for a regime worth fighting for...
I guess the Afghan people were more okay with living under Taliban rule and sharia law than we thought.
@@shubashuba9209don't forget how long they fought now, how many have died in their fight against the Taliban.
Many continued to fight after we left Afghanistan but were sold out by greedy and corrupt superiors and were simply left in no position to really hold themselves against the Taliban.
A good part of the people in Afghanistan were living the new found freedom through the West, while another good part was against that freedom, with Afghanistan being a complicated country on the political side with many different groups having power, fighting for power and having different views on things.
USA (the most powerful nation in human history) along with its powerful allies were in that country for almost 20 years. They were fighting against primitive people hiding in caves inside mountains. They failed to destroy these cave dwellers and inspite of spending 2$ TRILLION+, they failed to create a local army that can stand against and fight against these cave dwellers.
What am I misunderstanding here?
They fought so hard to go back to the Stone Age, let them enjoy it.

@@matthewmorrisdon5491 Ostracizing Afghanistan however, will leave China, Russia, India and Iran as its only choices for partners.
Nobody wishes or wants to see a grave and dire situation like hunger and famine upon any human, but let's be honest, the whole population of Afghanistan wanted the western coalitions to be completely out of their country and so they left. So I would say that they brought the present horrible situation upon themselves.
We invaded Afghanistan, put a bunch of crooks in charge, and spent twenty years chasing a relatively small number of Arab terrorists around the country, killing a lot of innocent people in the process. Conservative, nationalist Afghans rose against us. We spent billions on the war, but relatively little on economic development. By the time we left, Afghanistan was hugely dependent on money coming in from abroad, and could not feed itself. We share in the blame for that.
@@myahsoodinim8570Exactly. The West is entirely to blame for this mess. The Taliban are the only group with the fortitude to defy the rapacious West and prevail. It's a remarkable achievement.
@@myahsoodinim8570 Incorrect.

I was shocked by the lack of modernization when I was there. It's like you are living 1000 years ago. Although the cities are a bettwr than the rural areas, but they are still living in a different world. Nothing can prepare you for it. There is no parallel.
Didn't GW Bush know about this at that time?
Go to Africa and gambia then. Afghanistan is a poor war struck country what else do you expect.
My dads friend is send to afghanistan as an economical advisor to taliban. The inflation is dropped to - 1%. He says the taliban has no idea about governing, justice, education or economy. The advisors are basically carrying the remaining afghan economy.
This ambassador forgets something: the US had NO insight on this country to begin with, even when they had thousands of troops on its soil and that's why they lost it... and that's probably why they supported, even indirectly, such a group in the first place. For me that counrty ceased to exist, let them make this land the hell they want it to be... the mourning Afghan people did nothing to avoid it in the first place anyway.
US had a clear insight in Afghanistan, create a puppet state friendly to the west close to 5 Nucular power Iran, India, Pakista, China and Russia that allow US troop presence.. US failed Taliban win
There’s still Saleh, Massoud and the NRF. We shouldn’t lump all Afghans into the same boat
The problem will sort itself out in due time. People fight, there’s declines, however since Afghans are finally left to their own fate things will occur naturallyz
@@ZeroResurrected Bah you know what it is: someone felt before you, you proposed him or her again and again your help, answered "no" again and again, so there is a moment you just say "whatever" and let it down. It's childish I know but there is nothing else to do than "let it down and nevermind". I'm sure US, France or UK are tired to dig grave for their soldiers for them to be spit on by a people who hates them. If they want their situation to improuve, they'll have to do it themselves...
@@Jean_Jacques148 I find you quiet optimistic... but anyway it can't be worst so...
Keep in mind, sometimes geography will forever limit a countries potential. Afghanistan is a harsh climate, full of resources, but a proper mining of these resources would likely be short term development. Oil rich nations fall into Dutch disease over and over, without education and proper industries.

You cant blame the US for these problems. The problem is their culture. If they want their culture to change it has to be from within, the people must want it and fight for it. A outside source cant change it for them. I dont see a solution. If you want rights, freedom need to fight for it.
Exactly, that is the fundamental flaw of the US nation building exercise. The only reason why there was successes in Japan and Germany is that by the time the war ended, people wanted change.
@@mzplewell with Japan other than the Emperor giving up his "godhood" very little changed in terms of government.

But the Taliban do not want Freedom.
It wants adherence to Sharia Law, Fundamentalist Sunni Belief and the old Pushtun and Pathan borders from the past,even Delhi.
@@extrastout1741 Yes before the taliban we where jewish🤣
In my opinion, it has not been emphasized enough that the Taliban are Afghans. It is not some outside force that has taken over. It is the Afghans who direct and decide for themselves. At first, I felt sorry for the Afghans, but when I found out that a very large part of society supported the Taliban (for example, the Taliban did not encounter resistance when they took power) and the Taliban are simply members of this society, then if they want such a life, so be it.
Maybe after decades of foreign interference and brutal war the people chose the lesser evil.
Ehh, the women in the towns and villages don’t exactly get the chance to resist
I think in an ideal world there should be some sort of way for foreign intervention simply to allow women a chance to leave, but yeah that’s about it. If many of the men and some of the women are happy with/prefer the taliban, so be it
But what about all the people trying to fleee at the airport when they took over…

Yes we would patrol our area of operation and I could tell the locals hated us. I remember being on the 50 cal in the Mastiff turret and kids would throw stones at us. It didn't take me long to think we needed to get out
Afghanistan is exactly the way the Afghans want it to be. They want to live in this kind of society.
Afghanistan was always destined to be ruled by the Talibans. The Soviet invasion of the 80's didn't stop the Taliban from wresting power back and history was replayed with America's 20-year occupation of the state.
They have lived that way for how long? alot of self righteous fools who think their way of life is the right way, we see what is happening in western societies, I'd trade western way of life to taliban any day as a man.
The Soviet invasion is what propped up the Taliban. It's the communist that prepared the terrain.
America didn't occupy Afghanistan,
@@snowflakemelter1172yeah they just played baseball with the Afghans. they so totally never had any military there....

There are several things wrong with this video.
Yes, militia groups, with covert help from the CIA, other intelligence agencies, and foreign volunteers - the same kind who joined ISIS - eventually threw out Soviet occupiers.
But did the Taliban play a significant role?
No.
CIA help was largely filtered through Pakistan's ISI. During the Soviet occupation ISI gave the lion's share of covert aid to HIG, lead by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Other militia groups were usually lead by illiterate leaders. Hekmatyar, and his leadership cadre, were educated.
HIG operated offices, in Pakistan and Iran. Millions of Afghan refugees, in the refugee camps in Pakistan and Iran, were confined to those camps, couldn't seek work, or go to school, without some kind of identity papers. Those HIG offices operated like unofficial consulates, and issued a kind of ID card to those refugees. Pakistani and Iranian police accepted those ID cards, and let refugees carrying them travel freely, seeking work, etc. Moronic US intelligence officials would later characterize these millions of HIG ID cards as terrorist membership cards, and send individuals to Guantanamo for possessing one.
After the Soviet ouster, the ISI found competent, literate Hekmatyar and his group hard to control. So, the ISI dropped him, and his group, and decided to make a new group, the Taliban, lead by controllable illiterates. Think the Spice Girls, or any boy group. The ISI made them, and controlled them.
You missed another key factor. The reason Hamid Karzai's government, and those of his successors, were so weak, is that Afghanistan had no legitimate exports, no taxable economy. So, all its government's income was foreign aid.
Opium was Afghanistan's only foreign export. And since the Bush government insisted it remain an illegal product, Afghanistan's government couldn't tax it. The Bush government thought they (1) defeat the Taliban; (2) totally and permanently suppress the opium trade; (3) permanently give Afghan women the same rights and opportunities as women in western nations.
They should have given up on the war on drugs, to win the war against the Taliban.
There was a proposal, authors included Nobel Prize winners, that Afghanistan's allies concentrate on defeating the Taliban, even if that meant allowing Karzai to legalize and regulate the Opium trade. Fifty years ago Turkey was the world's source of illegal opium. Turkey, eventually, legalized and regulated the growing of Opium.
A similar move in Afghanistan would have largely stripped the Taliban of the powerful support of the Opium growers.
Interesting facts. It makes sense that pakistan would want to control a unstable country on it's border. What do you think about the fact that Bin Laden was chilling in pakistan until 2011?
Bet those opium growers are regretting that now.
Governments are about power and greed. And all deplorable Abrahamic religions supports such horrors and abuses...
Why do we keep doing the same mistakes. We know that these kind of countries cannot be influenced with politics
ahhhh with war and killling acurately
We went in there to get Bin Laden. And we eventually did in 2011. But we stayed believing we could turn a place like Afghanistan into a modern democratic secular state. Policy makers thought they could make Afghanistan in the western image. They were wrong.
Bin Laden was the main quest. Rebuilding Afghanistan was a side quest with a secret ending if completed. I'm American so I can probably speak for most Americans when I say, that after we got Bin Laden, we wanted our troops back home ASAP. We got the mofo who was responsible for 2,500 American deaths on 9/11.
Did they ask you to "influence them" by dropping bombs on them for 20 years?
As horrific and backwards as the Taliban are, I gotta say that extremely harsh punishment for corruption is something I have always stood behind.
I am no friend of them (as a Western career woman) but they have also made a fairly good start in halting slightly the drugs trade.
@@janesmith9024 Yea they definitely suck and their country would be better off without them but I don't believe in discarding good ideas just because bad people use them or even came up with them.

@@janesmith9024they did more than slightly stop it, they burn the poppy fields and stopped human trafficking of minors.

@@luishernandez-ji1nb i think 80% of the countries in that continent are probably worse places to live than Afghanistan
The problem here is that, Human rights is not truly compatible with islamic right. You are asking the wrong question probably, Afghan govt. will enforce Islamic right for individuals but not human rights.
I've always wondered how the Islamic right has gotten the way it is. Or Sharia law for that matter. I've read the Quaran, and half the reasons for stoning or death of any kind aren't even in there. There is no mention of women wearing a full body covering, it just says to dress modestly. There isn't any stoning for adultery, it says they should be lashed, but not killed. There is a lot in the Quaran about adding to the Quaran, which Sharia law does, which means all the Islamic right is committing a crime, according to the Quaran, anyway.
'Human rights' defined by the west, yes. Islam does have its own human rights, but the difference is in Islam, human rights are given and decided by God alone, not by people who think pornography and sodomy are perfectly fine, women selling sex is empowerment, children should be allowed to change their gender and men can become women by taking hormones, putting on makeup and chop their genitals off.
Savages don’t understand human rights and civility
@@nil6226 Problem is that, west never had a complete religious guideline to follow. which now a days being replaced with Human Rights and other terms. you guys follow the these guide lines as if religion but never question them. but want others to follow unconditionally, how lame.
@mahidulislamzihan7760 The problem is that although Judaism is a 1000 & Christianity is 800 years older than Islam, Islam is the most backward, mysoginistic & oppressive religion than all the other religions put together.

Your government things otherwise.
This was a much needed update post talbian takeover. I was looking for update online and haven't seen one, so happy you have made this.
The Afghans have embraced demagoguery, which is very lazy. Democratic rule demands mature interaction. Easy, quick fixes come with unpleasant consequences. Where is there any effort to compromise, tolerate, or maturely help the undesirable? Nope, that takes too much time😢. If Afghanistan were a person, I'd suggest it's time to, "Grow up." Money is appropriately frozen, given the Afghans 'abrogated' the original agreements made.
Democracy is paganism and an evil exploitative ideology
You tube deleted the first person who replied to your statement. Guess they don't like free speech either like the Tali.
Democracy requires mature interaction to function.
Democracy by its very nature leads to the exact opposite. This is why no democracy has ever lasted more than three centuries.
Not really. Democratic rule allows the ignorant and foolish to have a voice. And God forbid if they make up the majority like they do in South Africa.
They are simply making a nation suitable for practicing their faith and not a nation for materialism and hedonism.
Obviously an atheist won't comprehend this
If any country wants to isolate itself, then let them be totally isolated
14:50 My main takeaway from this video is that Red Bull is called Hit in Afghanistan.
"Typically, however, when we hear about mujahideen, the vast majority automatically think of those US-backed Afghans who fought against the Soviet Union when it invaded Afghanistan in 1979". The vast majority of whom? I was born in the USSR, where you'd think people might think that, but no one I know below the age of 60, from the USSR or elsewhere, would associate mujahideen with the American-backed militias. Maybe Bin Laden. Most people would probably associate them with more modern terrorists like Hamas, Daesh, PIJ, a-Shabab, etc. etc.
The real question is why are we giving aid to these people?
Because the need the aid

Afghanistan, coming to a country near you, sooner than you think. There is areas in the UK that feels like an Afghan City now, no go areas, and real sheet holes.

@@leaveourstatuesalone.3378 Okay, from what I can find, those areas - particularly Alum Rock - appear to be high deprivation areas (top 10% in UK); though pretty much half to two-thirds of Birmingham fall into this category. I can't seem to find direct ward-to-ward comparisons but from what I can find, Birmingham as a whole rates fairly typical of a major UK city in terms of crime (including violence and mugging) according to official government stats. Is crime particularly concentrated in these two areas (compared to other deprived areas)?
In any case, I can't see any reference to police refusing to patrol in these areas as is typical of "no-go areas" in the traditional sense. And I'm almost certain there aren't a bunch of people walking around with AK-47s strapped to their backs, as seen in footage of actual Afghanistan urban centres.
If it helps, my frame of reference is Manchester (which rates high for crime, including for violence and muggings, even when compared to Birmingham); working in the healthcare services and in regular contact with emergency and police services covering Oldham and Rochdale. And if the areas you mentioned are anything like Oldham and Rochdale (which are generally regarded as some of the most deprived areas in Manchester), I wouldn't describe them as "no-go areas".

Afghans need to rise up , nobody going to do that for them
Then what? Military leader who leads the coup sets up a dictatorship and rules with an iron fist? Sometimes it is better the Devil you know, at least stability is allowing the country to slowly creep forward. As they stablish themselves as a legitimate ruling force international pressure can be applied to change things peacefully. It won't happen overnight but it beats constant conflict and pounding dirt endlessly wondering why nothing lasts
it's impossible without organization or foreign help. I'm guessing Taliban are putting big money in domestic intelligence to cripple any resistance.
Country is very tribal, so there is no chance.
I think one of the US generals said over a decade ago, they simply lack the will to fight.
Lol bro we spent 20 years and trillions of dollars equipping them, training them, and giving them more support than they’ll EVER see ever again. If they weren’t willing to stand against the Taliban with all that behind them, they will never stand up against the Taliban. Simple as that. An elephant born in chains will continue to walk in those chains even after its fully grown and could easily break them.
in Whole of Afghanistan only some residents of Kabul and probably one or two other major cities people are really oppressed that is the main concern. We don't need to care about what is happening to the rest of the Afghan or people. Those people wanted Taliban power and they can enjoy it. It is the small progressive population we should think if they can get out of the Taliban rule and probably can relocate. US failure is unbelievable in this sense and probably Biden's name will be in history for that.
he keeps saying "trump" when it was biden who left that"litter box" with all of our toys in-place.
No mention of their war on opioids? Interesting…
Even if they do, it's not presented in a positive light. There is an article on the US Institute of Peace website that says "The Taliban's successful opium ban is bad for Afghans and the world."
@@yasminea7149That's because opioids are used a lot in medicine so healthcare costs will rise.
We did it Patrick! We saved the City!
They wanted it. Not our problem anymore. If they want a change they have to fight for it. And shall take their people back.
While you are correct in a sense the reason it became our problem in the first place was the Taliban were allowing terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda to operate from Afghan territory which they had been doing for years before 2001. Once 9/11 happened that was it something needed to be done. The problem now is extremist/terrorist groups can now once again operate there even though the Taliban supposedly agreed to not let that happen. So the concern is that at some point down the line we're gonna end up having to go back there and deal with the problem a second time.
@@joecostantino3684 al-Qaeda leadership were hiding out in Pakistan and there still are many other members still there.
Those that want to war again in Afghanistan are the wealthy Western elite who want to profit from extracting Afghanistan' untapped mineral wealth while the middle class and poor do all the fighting and dying. Only a few have benefited from the Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and many other wars. All these wars have helped create more instability across vast regions that allowed various terrorists organizations to find fertile soil to rise.
@@guardianoffire8814 Their training camps that they believe the 9/11 high jackers were trained at were in Afghanistan with the full knowledge of the Taliban at the time. Bin Laden was found in Pakistan yes after he fled there following the American Invasion. I don't doubt many of their leaders are still there but one has to wonder how many have made their way back into Afghanistan now the US forces are gone and the Taliban are back in control. I do realize that the main objective in the beginning was not regime change in Afghanistan, the US simply wanted the camps removed and Bin Laden handed over, had the Taliban done that it's highly unlikely the US would have invaded in the first place.
@@joecostantino3684 the problem is the border that British drew between afghan and pakistan. There's a common region between them through which people often pass through without any checkings. This makes it perfect for people to hide and sneak away to other countries.
@@joecostantino3684 they are not as good as you think they are. The US and NATO are responsible for several war crimes, what al qaeda did can be considered as mere fraction compared to the deaths these crooks did

Let's stand with them, sharing their stories and celebrating their strength. In the face of hardships spanning two years, these brave souls press on, painting a path to a brighter future. As we remember August 15th, let's keep alive the resilience that transcends borders and binds us all.
I feel little sympathy for any adult Afghan who let this happen in 2021. You invited the Taliban back with your inaction. No refunds.
You can't do much when you are permanently at gunpoint.
they didnt invite you in the first place....you never cared about them
@@bruhification They elected their leaders and had legal access to firearms. If they still felt threatened, then I would agree with those pundits who say that western-style democracy doesn't have a place everywhere.
@@xiontion9993 Fair enough. I had hope before, but you're right in that I don't care now. They should ask China and Pakistan for help.
@@news26boomThat's hilarious.
They were forced to elect one of two afghan americans as their god(president) who makes laws in accordance to the wishes of the west and US.
They were brutally enslaved
Alhmadullah we all Afghans are happy......living in peac......
بلی هموطن اینها از اینکه شکست عظیم را متقابل شدن هر روز یک پروپاگند ایجاد میکنند ولی شکر الحمدالله که ملت بیدار و هوشیار شدند و در قصه آمریکا و هیچ قدرت جهان نیستند شاهانه زندگی خود را در کشور خویش پیش می بریم زنده و سرفراز باد امارت اسلامی افغانستان و مجاهدین کبیر مان طالبان کرام 💥☝️💥
I dont understand people talking about countries that they never lived,never visited the country never even met people from the country😂😂😂😂
Everyone keeps blaming the Afghans. 100,000 afghan soldiers died fighting the Taliban in the last 20 years
It is disappointing and depressing that in the 21st century there are nations that continue to think and behave in primitive ways to compete for power, status and wealth among themselves and even more depressing that there are nations that would support them.
When a ship is sinking and there are only resources and capabilities available to save some of the passengers, the people that showed up to help will always be blamed because they were not able to save everyone. They may also be accused of trying to profit and talk advantage of the disaster for their own benefit.
the Afghans got the government they wanted.. leave them to it and close all doors to western countries..
Every nation on earth is competing not just some, we're just more sophisticated about it in the West.
@@jacksoncronin9540 Indeed! All nations compete for wealth, status and power! Hopefully the top competitors can remain sophisticated and eventually all nations can reach a level of trust and respect where they do not have to spy on each other and can stop building weapons that can wipe out most the life on the planet and from there start working towards eliminating all weapons of war. Not sure if humans will ever be capable of this but, I try to remain optimistic.
@@Danny_6Handford The world's diversity has led to tribal instincts and issues like racism, but increased travel and mixed ethnicities are blurring those artificial lines. It may take a few more generations and a significant event like climate change to unite humanity as one tribe, promoting cooperation over competition. Education is crucial to understanding our species' shortcomings. I believe in humanity and God though so I have faith, I see God as a concept rooted in human psychology due to ancient psychedelic drug use. My message was getting rather long so I used chatgbt to shorten it but hopefully the message is still the same.
@@jacksoncronin9540 You make some good points about humanity uniting as one tribe but I do not think religions or gods will be helpful in achieving this.
The idea that there is some type of creator or creators of the universe, the sun, the earth, and life cannot be completely ruled out but it appears to be extremely unlikely and so far there is no evidence for it.
I think gods and religions are humanity’s first attempts to try an understand where we came from and to understand the world but all religions are human inventions and regardless of which religion it is all of the stories in their literature are fascinating but they are basically creative fictions or at best exaggerations and distortions of events in the past written by humans that have let their imaginations get the better part of them.
Just like all good stories, tales and myths, we can learn something from them. Some of us find comfort in believing the stories in this literature because they provide simple explanations for our existence and why we are here. For others, they provide a purpose for life and they can use the literature to justify their way of life regardless if it is harmful to other humans by claiming that whatever is in the literature is moral.
Religious beliefs have also been used to try and dominate and control other humans sometimes for the better but often time for the worse. God has also been used to explain mysterious or unexplained events “god did it”. Some of us also claim that they talk to god which is easy to do. The trick is getting god to talk back to you.
In reality, the basis for morality is the understanding that the wellbeing and happiness of others benefits everyone. Morality comes from the human need to socialize, to interact with other humans which is a basic and fundamental human need. Our ability to empathize with others is what encourages us to create moral societies. I do not think that morality can come from some type of authority or creator that lives in the sky. I do not even think we have to love or even like everyone, we just have to understand that the wellbeing and happiness of others benefits everyone and is the basis for morality.
Fundamentalists (of any religion, really) are always interesting to me. Hearing that the Taliban unsurprisingly banned women from education and have very strict dress codes for them is interesting especially because I watched a few videos on Islamic terrorism in Africa and I can’t remember what group, but a terrorist group took over some small towns and they actually encouraged women and girls to get education. The women even said their lives were better than under the previous government because the Islamic fundamentalists brought some peace, stability and allowed them to be educated.
The contrast is very weird, but very interesting
But hey, they have more press freedom than other countries that don't ban women education. Turkey is lower on the list than Afghanistan.
@@Dylan-ty2ii i think the problem is media,,,,univercity is open .,,its not like media always says truth

Afghanistan population doubled since the year 2000 from 20 million to 40 million now
2:37 more specifically, the word "mujahidin" has been used officially by at least 3 movements recently.
-The pre-Taliban mouvements in Afghanistan as you said, but also
-the revolutionnary movements during the Algerian war against France: FLN and ALN especially; we could perhaps include PCA; but it's an individual honorific title rather than the name of a revolutionnary group
-and the "People's mujahidin", a revolutionnary (pretty socialist) group which fought side by side with the Mollah at the beginning of the Iranian revolution. As the new State turned more Islamist the socialist components were excluded and the movement, also called National Council of the Iranian resistance, was dissolved, and its leader came in exile in France.
He is propagating USA propaganda that is all. He is not talking about How taliban completley removed drugs and drugs users while the street of USA are littered with it. He is not talking about there is no corruption the country while USA and EU is full of corruption, he is not talking about how the children abuse has ceased to exist in Afghanistan while USA and Europe has the highest child abuses. He is not talking how the women who used to be beaten by husbands and relatives have ceased to exist because of Taliban , he is not talking about taliban stopped all the theift in the country comapred ot the EU and USA theift is so bad that in most cases now the police do not even arrest people no more, he is not talking about the murders that used to talk place how the TALIBAN stopped that all, he is basically talking about some few issue which he had made into a mountains but it does not remove the fact of the great achievement and the peace the taliban brought into Afghanistan. He says it is the worse country in the world ha ha ha ha.The worse country in the world has no child abuses has no corruption has no kidnapping, has wives beating and attacks on women, it has no theift on the streets , it is so peaceful and at the same time with the little money they are buidling everthing and he ignored that all and above all what he ignored because of jealousy is that it is the NATO WHO INVADED THE COUNTRY NOT USA AND IT IS NATO WHO has sanction these people and yet they have found a way out of it by become a business centre of China and all he is doing spreaing basically pure shit on the internet. He is not talking about why the people the NATO put in authority run away with millions of dollars in their pockets all he does is spread shit on the internet because he is jealousy. In one area alone in Croydan there are so many thieft that it alone with be around as much as 100,000 in just one area. In UK around 100,000 peopla ARE in jails, in UK around 10,000 woman are in jail what he is not talking about is there is no one in the jail in afghanistan apart from may be around 500 people. There are no women arrested or put in prison in Afghanistan that alone is enough to shame the west how the abuse of women goes on from rape to been beaten to been put in prison but of course all that does not matter to him because he is basically a shit spreader.
The MeK also ended up becoming a weird cult based in an old Albanian military base.
Wow. So do they keep relationships with Mariam Rejdavi's "conseil national de la résistance iranienne" in Paris? @@runningcommentary2125
The drug industry was flourishing before the Taliban put a stop to it. We can at least give them credit for that.

Thankful for it
It's the western sanctions that cause poppy growing. There's nothing else they can do. We're to blame as usual.
The funny thing is that while Afghanistan is very very poor and the Taliban are at least in part to blame the decline isn't entirely the result of the Taliban. The country was economically propped up and the economy stimulated as a result of the HUGE US presence. The fact it's not gotten even worse is actually very impressive. In spite of a ban on education and women and other dumb policies the system they setup hasn't utterly collapsed... yet?
Ban on women's education isn't a dumb policy at all. Allowing women "freedom" turns the society hedonistic and easily influenced by powerful nations.
@@davidalvarez9312 That's just bs propaganda.

As someone that has filmed in Afghanistan just a few months before the Taliban takeover, it hurts me to see this country suffer so much. The Taliban are stubborn and not open to reason and have broken every promise that was made during the Doha agreements. The few opposition movements such as the NRF get no support from the West or anywhere for that matter. I feel pessimistic about this.
Muslims lied and did evil stuff instead?
Colour me shocked.
And what about the corrupt ultra wealthy secular politicians of Afghanistan who loot and pillage and then run away stealing money and live in palaces in dubai and Abu Dhabi and say they didn’t run away but left y]to avoid bloodshed? that you are ok with!
@@davidalvarez9312buddy they also stole tens of millions of dollars and ran away from Afghanistan from the Russian embassy choppers and now live in palaces in duabi and Abu Dhabi laughing at both the USA and Taliban !
I agree that the Taliban seem to be violating the Doha agreement by allowing the TTP (the Pakistani Taliban) to operate from Afghanistan. But that's their only violation of the agreement. Remember that the Doha agreement was a withdrawal agreement, not a peace agreement, or even a cease fire. The Taliban only promised to stop attacking foreign forces - and they did. But they didn't agree to stop attacking the former government, only to participate in talks with it. The Taliban's press people did make optimistic declarations about women's rights and minority participation that they haven't lived up to, but that wasn't part of the Doha agreement.
Afghan been peace as taliban taken over. You see i went there due to work visit. Look how many country gone has suffer because USA trying to 'HELP'. Open your eyes bro. its all about 'OIL'
I'd probably still live there over Chad, Central African Republic, Congo, or North Korea.
I really like your video. You showed alot of videos of the Taliban and of the people of Afghanistan and not on your pretty mug, thanks because I like pictures,it helps the story line.
Let them rot on their own. and the perversion of Islam to control women as little more than cattle is disgusting.
Except they're not rotting and that this guy is lying. Afghanistan will soon bring down superpowers InshaAllah

"Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you’ll live, at least a while. And dying in your beds in poverty many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our freedom, but we'll never give our lives to stop you"
These people are the same that are in power in Saudi Arabia but we let them off the hook because they have oil. To pretend that they are uniquely bad is deceptive.
The title of the video is 'What's the Talibans new Afghanistan like', yet I'm a third into the video, and you're still rehashing history we already know instead of talking about the subject of the video.
This is just padding and it's poor content. If you don't have enough material for a long video on the subject why did you choose it
We (U.S.) Gave the Republic all the resources and training to defend itself over 20 years. in 2 months the army of 300,000 (or so they claim) barely engaged the 50,000 scums. Either they didn't have 300,000 soldiers and the government pocketed the salaries or the soldiers were cowards. Now the women and children suffer. Whatever happens, the Afghans did it to themselves.
All the US did was stalled the natural/organic growth of Afghanistan for 20 years. The US was an occupation force, so the only Afghans they could hope to get on their side were shameless, unscrupulous, corrupt ones. So the outcome of the puppet show was predictable.
This crusading for democracy and liberalism made it evident to the common Muslims of the entire world, that the US wants to liberalize Islam (i.e. change Islam).
The women and children suffered under your rule and now they're protected.
@@hanzalaomar9915you know that is plain silly don't you? Afghanistan is the poster child for toxic masculinity. And has been since the Qoranic virus.
Need to forget about human rights when in comes to extremists. When they are following Islamic law there is no such thing as human rights is does not exist for them, really should stop wasting time and money on trying to change or save them from themselves.
So basically isolate them till they decide for themselves to change
