The Taliban refusing to take responsibility for 9/11 and denying Osama Bin Laden's role sounds like Hidin' Insurrectionist Baby-trump...

@MarkPaul wtf are you even talking about, now? I change my mind your more like Biden, because you make no sense at all.

@SweetNSassy You're still like Eric [Baby-]trump because you seem like a big dummy (no offense).

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow High school was a long time ago. You can't get to me with that cheap shot. You have to remember I have life experience and a global perspective. You should be valuing my expertise instead of feeling intimidated by it.

@MarkPaul Spare me. You are barely old enough to buy a beer. You have no life experience and you have a stereotypical myopic worldview of a right wing American interventionist. And the arrogance and insistence you are a special snowflake like every other entitled idiot.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I understand how the world works from observation. You see, I believe understanding human nature translates into many areas such as... diplomacy, international negotiations, international affairs, politics, and international relations. And, I am sure you will agree, the one thing I do know about is human nature.

I am far from being entitled, acting entitled, or living like an entitled elite. I am well grounded and I have a level of self-awareness that is a cut above. I'm not one to tout my own credentials and talents, but I think it's important for you to hear the truth from me... directly and unfiltered.

And, if you ask me, age isn't even a reliable measuring stick for much of anything. Have you seen the behaviour of some of the older members of this site? This may include you.

@HijabaDabbaDoo The Taliban gave Al Qaeda, including Osama Bin Laden cover. What more needs to be said?

@MarkPaul The Taliban like Al Qaeda have fragmented over the years into a variety of regional movements that either have little connection to each other, are allies or actually rivals much like the Pakistani pushtun region and the Afghan pashtun regions. To address the Taliban as a uniform organisation and to mix them in with Al Qaeda makes no sense. Similarly, to link them with 9/11 makes even less sense. It's like saying Bush and Blair represent the same country because they both provided one another with cover.

@HijabaDabbaDoo Except that's not what I am saying. But, to say Bush and Blair didn't represent a shared ideology is foolish, wrong, and misguided... because they did and still do based on recent interviews both have given, separately.

Today, the Taliban is denying Bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11 because they have a shared ideology with what he represented. And, to deny that they do suggests you know absolutely nothing of how the terrorist movement is evolving... or how it originated for that matter.

@JohnOinger He has the same views as his people. The only part he doesn't like is their choice of demagogue. Otherwise they are identical.

@Entwistle Last I checked they were the largest recipients of US weapons too.

@LvChris Vendetta!

@MarkPaul Lmao they were less ridiculous twenty years ago, who are they fooling 🤣

@QuixoticSoul The "deep base" is being fooled because they don't know whether to cry out about the fate of the Afghans, be afraid of Afghan refugees, cry about having to wear masks, be afraid for Afghan women who will now have to wear face coverings, cry about the government hiding information from them, be afraid of the government releasing 6 January related insurrection documents that Hidin' Insurrectionist Baby-trump is trying hide by claiming executive privilege as a private citizen. It's not an easy time for them, for sure. The poor "deep base."

@MarkPaul In other words, they don't know whether to piss or recharge their wrist watch! 😆

@ron122 You mean I've joined your club?

@MarkPaul My point is that the Taliban did not participate in the 9/11 attacks and they would've happened with or without the Taliban. Not that I'm trying to defend the Taliban.

@DDonde It sounds like you are trying to defend the Taliban... and not very well. They provided a training area (ROLE). They provided safe haven (ROLE). And, they provided safe passage to Pakistan after the fact (ROLE).

@MarkPaul Well I'm against the Taliban like any sane person would be. And I agree that they did those things, just that I'm saying that those things aren't roles in the attacks. I'm splitting hairs and being argumentative for no reason so I'll stop.

@MarkPaul dude, you are. Your baby Trump posts are literally all you post.

@basilfawlty89 I post plenty of other things. But, thanks for being a super-fan.

@basilfawlty89 Accurate.

@empanadas Mr. Lopez!

@empanadas This was disgusting when you originally posted this and it still is. This makes me want to vomit.
