The weapons are to deter Iran and to stop Saudi from turning to Russia for the same.

Between 2011 and 2015 10% of US arms exports was to Saudi and in 2016 Obama proposed a 115Billion dollar arms sales agreement with Saudi. Why do you think Trump's deal shows that oil is no longer a major consideration when those other facts don't?

In June 2006, the FBI arrested
seven men from the poor,
predominantly black
neighborhood of Liberty City, in
Miami, on charges no less than
attempting to wage war on America.
In a boastful press conference, then
attorney general Alberto Gonzales,
outlined an ambitious, chilling plot to
blow up Chicago’s Sears Tower, to
launch a “full ground war against the
United States”, and to support al-
Qaida.
The case
against the
Liberty City
Seven was
weak from the
outset; even at
the press
conference, officials offered few
specifics or concrete evidence for a
terror plot the deputy director of the
FBI, John Pistole, described as more
“aspirational than operational”. The
men, members of an obscure religious
group called the Seas of David, had no
actual connection to al-Qaida, no
weapons, no explosives, no
reconnaissance on the Sears Tower,
no consistent ideology of violence. The
evidence against them – words of
intent considered, in the years of fear
post-9/11, to be overt acts of terror
were prodded and encouraged by a
paid informant in an elaborate game
of pretend.

That is why adults need to act responsibly. Taking responsibility of your actions. The moment Trump started meeting with the Taliban and talk about moving out troops, it makes zero sense for anyone to travel down to Afghanistan for non-essential reasons, let alone not registering on arrival or de-registering after leaving, but I won't be suprised that a good number of them are Afghan-Americans and most if not all would have made it back to the USA on the evacuation flights.

I know your prayer every day is to hear that an American has been killed in Afghanistan by the Taliban, so you can run wild on here. Your wish won't come to pass.

Everything looks calm': Family rescued from Afghanistan reflects on new life in Canada – CTV News

TORONTO:
One of the first families to land in Canada after escaping the Taliban in Afghanistan are speaking out about the life-and death ordeal they faced just weeks ago.

Ehsan Saadat and his family were able to walk through a Toronto park after completing their mandatory COVID-19 quarantine period, telling CTV National News their first observations after landing in their new home country.

“My first impression when I landed in Toronto, I just saw that everything looks calm, looks safe,” said Saadat.

As a researcher whose previous work was presented to Canadian officials and aid groups, Saadat was eligible to apply and secure spots for himself, his wife and four children on a rescue flight and not a moment too soon.

“I was scared,” he said of living in Afghanistan with the news of the Taliban taking city after city. “My wife was scared, I was scared.”

And while Canada offered him and his family a lifeline to escape, the process of getting on a flight out of Kabul had extremely high stakes.

Saadat received an email from Canadian authorities on Aug. 5, detailing how the family could access their rescue flight with one major condition.

“It’s important that you and your family members do not share information beyond your immediate family until after you arrive in Canada,” Saadat said, reading the instructions warning him not to tell anyone about their leaving.

Saadat kept the secret from his extended family, though it pained him.

“I remember when my brother took us to the embassy, and he hugged my children – that time was difficult,” he said, getting noticeably emotional.

The family were only able to bring some wedding photos and other small mementos from their life in Afghanistan, things that Saadat said were to show his children as they grow up so they won’t forget where they came from, and to answer their questions in the future “where are we from and what were our customs.”

Now Saadat says his immediate goal is to try to find a job. He holds a Master’s degree in educational administration.

“I don’t want to be a burden for the government,” he said, adding that his children have big dreams of their own.

“The older one wants to be a judge, the second one could be a prosecutor and the third one wants to be a police officer,” he said. “My son wants to be a doctor.”

Tell the people in Northeastern part of Nigeria, Laduna, Plateau and other States being kidnapped and killed by Boko Haram terrorists that they are not violent. Tell the people in the South that are being raped, maimed, kidnapped and killed that by Cow herders that have the same beliefs as Boko Haram that it means nothing. Bubu is silently sympathetic to the cause of Boko Haram and so are some of his top Government officials and Minister Pataki. Danger is looming in Nigeria when Boko Haram fighters caught are being rehabilitated and enlisted in the Army. Like i said, Nigeria is on the precipice and i hate to see her fall off the cliff.

My brother,I never said Nigeria security situation is not concerning but comparing it to that of Afghanistan is laughable.season comes season goes,Buhari will not be president forever.Infact the security was even worse during the later years of GEJ presidency,yet Nigeria survived.
It’s a phase and I won’t be part of those expecting Nigeria to fall off the cliff.

Well, I hope you're up for a decent debate. You're not like one EmptyPride loafing around this board, making a fool of himself and making a lot of noise.

That said, and to answer your questions frankly, I don't like Sodomy or ejaculation - of any type. I am a decent Christian (in words, deeds and actions to the glory of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ). And we know that the whole world lies in darkness, but the radiant light from our Lord will definitely wash away the evil plaguing the world today soon, and the world will be a better place for all loving children of God to live in safely and freely.

Former Afghan Minister Syed Sadat Now Works As A Pizza Delivery Guy In Germany

In Germany, a former Afghan minister works as a pizza delivery person. Al-Jazeera Arabia tweeted the images of Syed Ahmad Shah Sadat, who served as Afghanistan’s communications and technology minister, Syed Ahmad Sadat is currently based in Leipzig, Germany, where he arrived in December of last year after fleeing Afghanistan.

Sadat became a member of Ashraf Ghani’s cabinet in 2018 but he left in 2020 owing to disagreements with him. He then fled Afghanistan and relocated to Germany.

Sadat verified that these are his images, according to Sky News. After his money ran out, he began working as a food delivery professional for the German company Livrando, according to Sky News.

From 2005 to 2013, Sadat served as a technical advisor to Afghanistan’s communication and information technology ministry; a position he held for more than two decades. From 2016 to 2017, he was the CEO of Ariana Telecom in London.

On August 15, the Taliban took full control of Afghanistan when they took Kabul, the capital city. Ghani, the president at the time, departed the nation the next day. He is believed to be in the United Arab Emirates.

Syed Ahmad Sadat told Sky News that he never expected the civilian administration in Afghanistan to fall so swiftly in response to the current events.

He also told the news station that his narrative would act as a “catalyst” for changing the way high-ranking people in Asia and the Arab East conduct their lives. Sadat, who was once encircled by security personnel, now delivers pizza on a bicycle.

Sadat graduated from Oxford University with two master’s degrees in communications and electronic engineering. He worked for Aramco and the Saudi Telecom Company for 23 years in the communications area for more than 20 organizations in 13 countries, including Saudi Arabia.

He fled last December. Maybe he sensed what was coming as well.

Delta Air Lines to Impose $200 Monthly Charge on Unvaccinated Employees, Adds Testing Requirements.

Airline will add charge for unvaccinated employees enrolled in healthcare plan. Delta Air Lines will charge employees on the company health plan $200 US a month if they fail to get vaccinated against COVID-19, a policy the airline's top executive says is necessary because the average hospital stay for the virus costs the airline $40,000 USD.

CEO Ed Bastian said that all employees who have been hospitalized for the virus in recent weeks were not fully vaccinated.
