Afghanistan, fear for life and Covid

a reply to: slatesteam


Hello my friend.

There were also many ideological idiots in the USSR, but there were also realists trying to restrain the "hawks". Thank God, there was no nuclear conflict between the USSR and the USA, thanks to realists from both countries. We could really destroy each other and the whole world at the same time.

It's just that now many in Russia are afraid that in the United States ideology will prevail over common sense, and missiles will fly. Nobody needs this, let's introduce healthy competition and learn from each other, not fight.

If you remember, Putin is a judo master. The basic principle of this Japanese struggle is to succumb to the opponent, use his strength and at the most critical moment, when the opponent thinks that he has already won, use his own side against him. This is a reasonable fight, it does not bear aggression, it uses someone else's aggression against an opponent. Therefore, 15 years after this incident, Russia was transformed and became a world power.

There will be no aggression from Russia, but everything that was taken from the country will need to be returned. This is the principle now.

About Covid: I myself had a moderate illness in December 2020. I’m not a coven dissident at all. There are 4 alternative vaccines in Russia, plus a light single-component vaccine Sputnik light. For myself, on the advice of my beloved woman, who is a candidate of medical sciences and a leading neurologist in my city, I am waiting in line for the vaccine at the Chumakov Center in Novosibirsk, Kovivak. It suits me best, but this vaccine is in short supply, and we have a queue for it.

My friend, do not expect aggression from the Russians, we just return ours))))

Please share information on the situation with Kovid in Afghanistan. Only official, based on scientific research.

But in reality, only frostbitten Satanists who dream of the end of our world can talk about a nuclear conflict between our countries.

Remember Stanislav Petrov ?
With the tensions high at that time accidents could , and nearly did , happen.

It is this case that confirms that there are much more realists than ideologists and people who stupidly follow instructions)))

Ever heard of lithium, Afghanistan is /will be more than capable of supporting itself in a electric reliant climate.

You need far more for this claim than a single ingredient to a battery technology. Tritium is made out of Lithium too. It's used inside H-bombs btw.

Afghanistan is a long way from EV and EV isn't the answer for them. EV demand a sturdy base load on the grid, you can only have that with either nuclear or big coal plants. Afghanistan doesn't even have coal power plants yet, last time I looked

openinframap.org...

I know for fact that countries like this you don't just drive up to the gas station and refill, might wait a day or two if you're hitting it at the wrong time. Not because the stuff isn't there or not on their way but things move slower in general.

EV in Afghanistan in the next 20 years is a bad pipe dream. BTW I drive EV and I recognize it's environmentally worse than ICE powered vehicles. Where do you think the power for these EV will come from?

You and I are reasonable people, my friend. That will not happen. But they call idiots too))))

I think it more the case that we are all lucky that Lieutenant Colonel Petrov was on duty that day and that he had the courage of his convictions to not follow his orders , a decision that cost him dearly if I remember correctly.

May he rest in peace.

a reply to: RussianTroll

I certainly hope not, the likes of "Threads" "The Day After" and "When The Wind Blows" scared the crap out of me as a child.

I suppose that was the intension all the same.

Back in 2008 there was a Russian professor who predicted the breakup of the US of A. Start watching at the 40 second mark. Interesting that the USSR was in AFG from 1979-1989, then broke up a few years later. Is our clock ticking down?

Luck, my friend, is an element of chance. Behind every responsible step there are many factors that allow a person to make the right choice. Let's rely not on chance, but on our mind))

Of course, we were also so frightened. But we were able to avoid a catastrophe then, we will avoid it now))

Au contraire, my friend. The Taliban plans on masking up the female population as fast as possible. It's not an Islam thing, it's because they are super concerned about the spread of Delta.

Not the Delta that shows up at night and plugs you in the back of the head, the other Delta.

a reply to: RussianTroll

How many nukes and warheads do our respective nations have at there disposal or sitting deep down in subs or tucked away in bunkers and silo?

The answer is far to many RussianTroll.

Catastrophe is still only a toys chucked out the pram and a button press away.

That may be a bit of an over simplification of the matter but the premise of my argument still holds true.

I am neutral towards the Taliban. This is their country and their life. I do not believe that killing people with modern technology is more humane than chopping off heads. By the way, heads were chopped on a guillotine back in the 70s in France and now they are chopped in Saudi Arabia.
We need to think not about how to impose our values on them by force, but how to live in peace and harmony, backed up by our strength, in case they show aggression.

I want to remind you, my friend, who is the master of the world in which we live. The Kingdom of Heaven awaits us later, but not all. Now we must live our lives to be worthy.

a reply to: RussianTroll

Aye but if you are a woman wishing to continue to be educated in Afghanistan you might not be quite so neutral towards the Taliban depending on where you are in the nation, just a thought.

From our perspective total Sharia Islamic law is about as draconian and oppressive as it can get, which is what the Taliban wish to see happen in Afghanistan.

God help the poor people that have been trying to play the game for the past 20 odd years when the Taliban get a hold of them.

a reply to: RussianTroll

That's precious RussianTroll.

But i think you may find our real masters are the bankers and corporations.

Gods not saying much if anything at all these days, not even on Sunday.

And if he was I'm sure he may suggest getting rid of all those nasty nukes after all, they can ruin everybody's day in a whole new way, including his.

" In 2010 a US internal department of defence memo labelled Afghanistan the Saudi Arabia of lithium, after American geologists discovered the vast extent of the countries mineral wealth ."

I'm not talking Afghanistan having/ using electric vehicles as you allude to but rather the supply of raw material for trade etc.

I was kinda joking, but anyway.

Yes, it is their country and their life. It's also the country and life of all of those people clinging on to the outside of military planes leaving the country. Those guys don't seem to see the Taliban as heros coming to save them from the evil Westerners. Seems kinda like the opposite to me.

Our trouble is, my friend, that we are trying to evaluate the actions of other people from our subjective point of view. Moreover, this is done with bias and lack of information, in conditions of information manipulation. We Russians have always lived together and surrounded by other cultures, religions and civilizations, and have learned to respect each other. Now it helps us to assess the situation more realistically. You first ask these women what they are striving for in life and what are their life priorities. Their answers will surprise you a lot. One should not rely on the opinion of the overwhelming minority of society and pass it off as truth. This is counterproductive. Just try to understand them, and then everything will become easier)))

In a civil war, my friend, there are never goodies. All are equally disgusting (((
