Impossible!
Impossible I say!
Trump solved this!
He just got the Totally-Not-Made-Up FIFA Peace Prize for it!

Trump is the neediest of presidents that we've ever had. He's a toddler in a suit.

The site seems to be having issues tonight.
I'm currently chalking it up to a late Saturday night maintenance...
Meanwhile, a fun video ...
Len - Steal My Sunshine (1999) www.youtube.com
That video was filmed in Daytona Beach, FL., with a budget of $100k, from what I've read.

If it came down to a war between Pakistan and Afghanistan, I'd say the Taliban would win. The Pakistani military is full of cowards when it gets right down to it.
Spin Buldak was a nice base to visit, I went there several times when I had soldiers stationed there. Chow Hall was pretty good.

Pakistan has nukes.
Afghanistan does not. You really don't want Pakistan to feel existentially threatened by the Taliban. Pakistan is already unstable enough as it is.

This can be described as an ethnic conflict between Pashtuns (Afghanistan) and Punjabis (Pakistan). The Pakistanis have nukes and a modern air force, so the Afghans will engage in irregular warfare, honed by decades of experience. The Taliban fighters will score mass casualty events against the Pakistanis in the border regions. The Pakistanis are a proud people and do not want to suffer military humiliations with eternal nemesis India watching.
One of the groups to monitor in this mess is the powerful, drug smuggling Haqqani Network (HQN) who are Pashtuns and operate on both sides of the border, as well as Salafist groups within Pakistan who dislike the corruption of the Islamabad government, like the TTP or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
The Afghan Taliban can also reach out to the anti-Punjab Balochs to conduct attacks in southern Pakistan.

Some of those who were actually there made the "o" a "u" in Boldak.
At least that's how I heard it anyway.

As for the Afghans, they all died in a "drone swarm" attack we sent their way.
They all died. The problem is over. For now.
Observe.

But then Afghans breed like rats. They will be on us again, no doubt, trying something else.
The ones who died, their kids will join the taliban "army" day after tomorrow and rinse and repeat.
Their women have kids to replace the ones who died.. like every other day. Rats.

Yep. Trolling.
So then the question seems to become, why the trolling?
A lame attempt to disrupt or deflect?
If so, why?
The presence and activity of those trolling aliases speaks volumes about what is discussed here on this most august site.
Stated differently, if the discussions on this site were not so good, then why would there seem to be the need to dispatch trolls to disrupt those discussions?
