| 2023-08-22 |
Good. [ToloNews] The Deputy Defense Minister, Mohammad Qassim Farsad, said that the neighboring countries of Afghanistan are not returning aircrafts that were taken there during the collapse of the former government. He said their failure to do so is due to pressure by the US.Speaking at a presser reporting on the annual activities of the Defense Ministry, he said that the number of these aircraft is 60. "Their numbers could be around 60 aircraft and they are currently in one or two countries. We have officially asked them for their return, but they don’t act because of US pressure," Farsad said. Speaking at the same conference, the chief of army staff, Fasihuddin Fitrat, said that the attacks by the ISIS group have dropped to zero. He said that the Islamic Emirate forces have conducted raids across the country within the past year that resulted in seizing a great number of weapons and ammunition. "In the major cities, the Mujahideen were more careful about the ISIS group. Their attacks have almost dropped to zero," he said. Eanayatullah Khwarzmi, a front man for the Defense Ministry, said that 50 seminaries have been constructed in military bases in various provinces. "We have repaired nearly 50,000 vehicles since the Islamic Emirate came to power," he said. The Chief of Army Staff of the Islamic Emirate’s Defense Ministry, in response to the accusations of Pak officials, said that instead of criticizing Afghanistan, they should focus on their own land and that these criticisms show Pakistain's inability to provide security in its own land. Fasihuddin Fitrat added in the annual report of the ministry that people who cause insecurity in Pakistain exist inside that country, and Pakistain and other countries should look for their enemies "on their own soil." |

| #7 Ok, I threw the Internet at that. Translate.com comes up with: Interdum nihil est optimus res vos can operor Throwing that at Translateking as a back-check comes up with: Sometimes nothing is the best thing you can do. Still, an actual Latin scholar would probably say it better, as befits a heraldic motto. Ya gotta start somewhere. |

| #6 If I still remembered Latin, I would translate that slogan and commission an appropriate coat arms to match. Maybe a white commode on a brown shield with scrollwork that is actually a pattern of full and empty toilet paper tubes. |

| #2 It's more about a big F U than any practical considerations. Too bad a big F U is all we got, apparently. |
