#7  ^ My first thought as well. This is an outright invasion out in the open for all to see. Camo clad men sneaking over the border, and now hordes of orcs storming the battlements with the banner of The White Hand displayed for all to see. Awesome.

#8  Sure looks like a take on the olde trick of herding a civilian wave in front of the troops to overwhelm defenders with morals and numbers.

#9  Say, riots and such continual snafus must be great for the contractors who make these pansy weapons and ammo? Especially in this age of faux humanist faggotry by uniforms enforced by self-righteous assholes in robes?

Best thing would be to place automated turrets in 20mm up on towers. Have two modes, one AI and one manual override. Use the manual to pick off adult males when crowds are mixed. Never let on to congress there is a manual mode. Tell them it's all AI. No single person is responsible for any kills. And kill the mediapersons first.

#12  You wouldn't have to shoot very many of them with live ammunition before they understood that they cannot cross. Should have been done a long, long time ago.

A few days ago I heard an ABC reporter talking about the Texas gubernatorial race between Beto and Greg Abbot. The reporter admitted on national television that Democrats are hoping to turn Texas blue by changing the state's demographics.

They have a helluva lotta damn nerve telling us we need to defend Ukraine's borders while they let this shit take place on our own border but they don't believe anybody can put two and two together. They need to be disabused of that notion.

#16  During WWII my father originally based out of Ft Hood Texas then went into the S. Pacific to fight the Japs. When taking a Jap garrison Mexican-American troops were to take out the guards up on the wall because 1) they were very good at scaling walls and 2) they were very good at splitting sternums with a bolo.

Afghanistan
Daily Evacuation Brief November 2, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • BAGHLAN CLEARING OPERATION – Several sources have said the Taliban were in the process of moving several well-known Al Qaeda militants out of the Province. Observers say the moves did not look forced and the Taliban treated the people with deference. Household goods were packed onto military trucks. A Taliban-affiliated source claimed the moves were being made in anticipation of ICC investigations. There was no information about where the Al Qaeda militants were moving to or why.

  • AIRPORT AT MAZAR-I-SHARIF WORK IS COMPLETE – Uzbekistan provided significant technical assistance to get the airport back in working order and reports indicate the runways and taxiing venues have all been updated. Power is now supplied to the airport through an extension of the Uzbekistan national power grid.

  • TALIBAN SECURITY NEAR AIRPORT BEEFED UP – Several sources reported an increase in the number of security personnel deployed in the vicinity of the airport in Kabul over the last twenty-four hours. Security additions included a rough doubling of stationary guards, additional trucks, and increased security patrols. One source noticed the use of new radios which had not been seen before.

  • FORMER NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM COACH ARRESTED IN PARWAN – Gholam Mohammad Dastgir, the former head coach of the Afghan men’s football team was confirmed to have been arrested sometime during the previous week in the Jabal al-Siraj District.

Hit and Run; Taliban Ranger Vehicle Runs Over 2 People in Panjshir

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Local sources in the northern Afghan province of Panjshir told the domestic media that a Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
military ranger vehicle ran over and injured two young men riding a cycle of violence.

According to the sources familiar with the incident, the Taliban military vehicle injured two men on Monday evening, October 31, at the Rahman Khail region of Bazarak, the historic provincial capital of Panjshir.

Given the severity of their injuries, the two injured men were transported to a hospital in Kabul, the Afghan capital, for treatment, the sources added.

These young people allegedly worked as store owners in the Parakh market in the historic provincial capital of Panjshir, and as they were on their way home, the Taliban vehicle collided and ran over the two.

The sources claim that after the crash and running over these two young men, the Taliban military ranger expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. The Taliban local authorities in Panjshir have yet to respond to the incident.

The Taliban’s recklessness in carrying and operating weapons and driving military vehicles, which also caused fatalities and injuries to people, has long been criticized by the Afghan people.

The locals of Panjshir province also complain that military vehicles driven by the Taliban government fighters move at an excessive speed on the province’s mountainous, narrow, and winding roadways.

Afghan Private News TV Channel Ceases Operation Due to 'Pressures'
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Kabul News, a private TV channel in Afghanistan that had been in operation for ten years, has ceased operations owing to what it called "pressures", without further elaboration.

On Tuesday, October 30, a source with information on the situation told the media that this news channel had seen ups and downs as a result of the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
seizing control in Afghanistan and that it officially ceased operations today.

The source further stated that Kabul News TV’s dissolution added to the number of people, particularly news hounds and journalists, who had lost their jobs since the Taliban seized power.

According to the source, at least 60 employees of Kabul News TV lost their jobs as the private news channel stopped operations.

Abdul Karim Khorram, a close associate of former Afghan leader Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
...One of the more egregious mistakes of the post 9-11 era...
, founded the private TV network Kabul News. The office of Hamed Karzai funded the budget of this media, which had its own set of guidelines.

According to statistics, 48% of Afghanistan’s visual and audio media have ceased operation as a result of different issues since the fall of the republic regime, a major setback in the history of media in Afghanistan.

Before the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, 543 print, audio, and video outlets operated, according to the Afghanistan Journalist Center (AFJC). Currently, several other media outlets are on the verge of shutting down due to various reasons.

Amnesia Amnesty International recently reported on the expansion of censorship in Afghan media outlets and stated that the security of journalists working in Afghanistan is currently in jeopardy.

The organization went on to say that while these media have a history of independent reporting, they are today crumbling under the Taliban’s control.

Kabul News TV stops operation at a time when Amnesia Amnesty International stated that at least 80 journalists and media workers were arrested and have fallen the subject of the Taliban’s harsh and violent mostly peaceful behavior, with females suffering most of the damage.

India-Pakistan
Afghan Digest Regional Roundup November 2, 2022: Pakistan
LAST 24 HOURS
DAY 5 OF THE LONG MARCH – Ousted Prime Minister Khan made several incendiary remarks during the fifth day of his Long March. Chief among them he claimed the capital police forces would be on his side when he reached Islamabad. Analysts see the claim as sheer bravado and referenced Khan’s attacks on the police after the violence of the march earlier in the year. Regardless, it has some leaders worried and the boundaries of the Red Zone were extended as a result. Leaders of the march have stated the route will change in an attempt to get back on schedule. However, observers say the marchers are unlikely to reach Islamabad on Sunday as originally planned.

NEXT 24 HOURS
DAY 6 OF THE LONG MARCH – The marchers are hoping to reach Lakhar before nightfall. Security forces are alarmed at the tactic Khan is using during this iteration of the protest. He sends people home at night and then asks them to return in the morning. It is thought he is attempting to avoid the burn-out his followers confronted when they marched in May.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF says 4 wanted Palestinians detained, weapons seized in overnight raids
It’s a day that ends in Y.
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained four wanted Paleostinians and seized several weapons during overnight arrest raids across the West Bank.

The four have been delivered to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning.

The IDF says two M16 rifles and other military equipment were seized in several central West Bank villages, and in the Qalandiya refugee camp on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

The arrests come amid an ongoing IDF anti-terror offensive in the West Bank following a series of Paleostinian attacks earlier this year.

The IDF adds that during overnight operations Paleostinians hurled stones at troops near the central West Bank village of ’Arura.

"Forces responded with riot dispersal means," the military says.

No soldiers are hurt in the incidents.
