Taliban don't hate their own people , hash or tradition. They hate us. (the West) 

With very, very good reason. We went over there, ousted them from government, put our puppets in place in their governments and set the country on fire with explosives. All because they were mates with Sadddam Hussein, which we ousted another government to put in place... then he didn't turn out to be a yes man.

 

Yet another failed bloody massacre by the US coalition. America has not "won" a war since it was part of the allies in WW2. Just destroys countries and then gives up.

 

Afghanistan be fine, just like they were before, once they settle down. Just happy to be rid of us cunts.

That's a war anecdote. I'm sure another guy from the same region, that you may or may not have met, can tell you Americans murdered his whole family.

 

Indeed they are fundamental Islamic, Afghanistan is almost entirely Muslim (99.7%). The reality is the Taliban formed to fight off Soviet encroachment and significantly helped restore order, reduce crime and maintain stability after the invaders were repelled. Though drought stricken was peaceful the 90's, until the Americans showed up, instilled their own defacto government and started blowing cunts up. (it's not the first time they've done that) After 20 years of being killed by US coalition forces there are more members than ever, the war has strengthened their support and position within the region. After generations of being killed if there was not significant local support they would not exist. That alone says a lot about where the people's loyalties lay.

 

We might not get it, feed on the fear mongering lies (news), and think all is lost for them. They just want us (the US lead coalition) to fuck off.

Eastern Manipur region landraces are likely all gone, as the farmers realised in the last two years that poppies are more lucrative and easier to farm. I think the Balochistan region and lots of the valleys bordering Afghanistan will hold out and keep their seeds going still. Seems to be a far more culturally ingrained than to the East where it's all about cashflow to survive.

Hope the season wasn't too harsh for the guerilla crew, all that rain would be devastating for the modern hybrids I imagine. That's why keeping tropical heirloom varieties alive and untainted is so important.

Here's a pic I found on the internet to illustrate my point!

i haven’t uploaded my shots of that sky yet, but I reckon that photo was the winner. 

 

I’d be a sore loser but because I taught you so much I’ll just be taking credit for any achievements you have in the future. Best get used to that now :wave-finger:

For those of you wondering what DALL.E is, it's a very large neural network which generates random images from text descriptions.
