Taliban fighters execute 22 Afghan commandos as they try to surrender

Over clear but unsteady video, the words ring out: "Surrender, commandos, surrender." Several men emerge from a building; they are clearly unarmed.

Gunfire erupts. At least a dozen men are seen shot to death amid cries of "Allahu Akhbar" -- God is Great.

The victims were members of an Afghan Special Forces unit: their executioners, the Taliban. The summary killings took place on June 16 in the town of Dawlat Abad in Faryab province, close to Afghanistan's border with Turkmenistan.


At the end of the video, another voice off-camera says: "Take everything off them."

In another video, a man can be heard saying: "Open his body armor." One fighter can be seen taking equipment off the body of one of the commandos.

The Red Cross confirmed the bodies of 22 commandos were retrieved.

The killing of the soldiers stands in stark contrast to the Taliban's efforts to show it is accepting the surrender of soldiers and, in some instances, paying them to go home as it makes territorial gains across Afghanistan.


"This deeply disturbing footage is horrific and gives insight into the increasingly desperate situation enveloping in Afghanistan. What we are witnessing is the cold-blooded murder of surrendering soldiers -- a war crime,"

Well, I suppose that will teach them to surrender to the Taliban instead of defending their nation against the Taliban!

LET THAT BE A LESSON TO NEVER SURRENDER TO THE TALIBAN AND ALWAYS DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY!

When these people will not even defend their own country- THE UNITED STATES SHOULD NOT BE OVER THERE DOING IT FOR THEM!

THANKS FOR HELPING BIDEN MAKE HIS POINT ON WHY WE SHOULD bring the troops home!

The Taliban claim to be the true defenders of the Afgan people.

I keep seeing the experts say that there are two options here, a peace deal between the Taliban and the government that we set up there, and civil war. Maybe but I see nothing to stop a Taliban romp....there will I think be a deal but it will be one that the Taliban dictates. I am not expecting any protracted civil war.
 
America’s Empires Always Fail
The withdrawal from Afghanistan was an inevitable tragedy

BY DOUGLAS MURRAY

Perhaps it is inevitable that when a conflict goes on for so long, people, including politicians, eventually switch off. But even without that, I suspect that many would have tired of the Afghanistan war long before this grim season finale. For the truth is that if there is no point in fighting wars you’re going to lose, there is even less point in fighting wars you’re going to lose slowly.

If you are going to invade a country like Afghanistan and attempt to transform its society in the space of a few years — or in this case decades — then your military, diplomatic service and political class all must contain people who wish to engage in that activity; people who are fascinated with the local culture, are willing to learn the language and are eager to live among its people and to show leadership if needs be. To put it simply, if you are going to acquire an empire then you need empire-builders

For better or worse, this is not an American instinct. Its military does not want to remain in control of large countries thousands of miles away from home. Its diplomats have no special vision for how these societies might realistically look. And its political class professes its desire to get out as swiftly as possible even as they become more embroiled in conflict. Whether it is Barack Obama, Donald Trump or Joe Biden, all wanted to get out of the mess they had inherited. Yet all professed commitment while dreaming of abandonment. And now we see the results.

Yep. We spent billions training their military and giving them weapons. We spent thousands of American lives there, and tens of thousands of theirs. Time for them to fight for freedom, or shut up.

All you bellicose American fembots are always whing about the War on Women. Yet every one of you has taken a vow of Omerta on the subject of Afghan women and girls, truly shameful.
