When Kabul fell and the Americans were thrown out, we told the Afghans to take care of the "Pakistani" Taliban who are hiding inside Afghanistan.

Instead, the first thing they did was release their leader from Afghan jail:
Eyebrow Beard Car Motor vehicle Vehicle


So we bombed them.


Afghans are born troublemakers. We can always bomb them again... and again... and again.....

A few of our cops get killed but the nation of Afghanistan will keep going hungry while being torn to shreds. 👌

Türkiye's first domestic car brand TOGG is on sale. The version with a range of 314 km (200 mi) is offered for sale at ₺953K ($50K).

That is an interesting design. I like it.

How does the average Turk afford something like that? USD$50K is a LOT of money.

They don't afford it. They are on the same path as us. The rich/elite will be allowed to drive while the rest of us will be forced onto mass transit.

It is going to break sales records, these prices are welcomed as relatively cheap.

The Turkish govt has been taxing imported cars (and imported electronics) in huge amounts for many years, to both generate income and keeps imports under control. Imported cars usually have taxes around 100% or more.

Car owners also have to pay tax on engine displacement, so 1300 cc and below is the most suitable tax bracket because Türkiye is an oil importing country and we want to import it as little as possible. If someone really want to drive a vehicle over 1300 cc, they have to take into account the extremely high fuel price and have to pay taxes to the govt for the import deficit they will create.

There is still a crazy demand to cars, today you cant find new cars at many car dealerships in TR, the main reason for this is excessive demand for cars, another reason that has emerged in recent months some brands dont send vehicles and vehicle parts to cause supply side price increases (inflation) in TR, for example, a German brand that doesnt have any supply problems in the US doesnt send vehicle parts to Türkiye in particular, their vehicles are among the top selling in TR and they abuse it.

Arwin Rahi... seemed an odd name so I looked him up. Turns out he also writes for one of our newspapers sometimes.

Really don't care what an Afghan might think.

"At this point, Pakistanis should accept living with the TTP. "

Don't care for his roll over and die suggestion do you?

Well it appears that Honduras, Mexico and Argentina are going to join BRICS. If true interesting 🤔 series of events. If Egypt does well that's just about a checkmate scenario.
IDK, the $$$ seems pretty strong despite the BRICS talk...

Joe is working hard to undermine the dollar as well as pushing once aligned nations to entertain joining BRICS. This is a concerning trend.

At one time in the distant past I was pretty concerned with BRICS - over time I've not seen it do much and frankly I don't think it will be what some seem to believe.

My thoughts are it is more propaganda than reality ; at some point perhaps the $$$ will no longer be the reserve currency, but I don't think it is anytime soon or that BRICS will be replacement .

I don't believe JB is doing much of anything btw

Just my opinion

Still noone takes responsibility for the copter. Some terrorist accounts admit that passengers were their friends. They didnt prefer the land route to hide from the Turkish air force. The first person to be identified among the dead is S.K. who was specially trained by US. The copter is thought to belong to a US private security company or Iranian Hashd Al-Shaabi.

UPDATE: According to the informations shared, two copters crashed, not one, the copters were leased by a private US oil company at the request of US army. The copters were flied by pilots of a private US security company, carrying PKK members from Sulaymaniyah after a meeting.


The helicopter carrying the US allies in Iraq crashed during a night flight.
