That is definitely overestimating it a tad. While they can replace casualties, the faster the attrition takes place, the less war material and training they can effectively give their combatants.

It will eventually get to the point were they are just sending cannon fodder for the sake of it.
>>
>>29322765
But most of their manpower is mostly foreign. That's what makes this war such a joke. You've got Tunisians and Saudis and Chechens and a bunch of others on one side, and Iranians and even Afghans on the other. Reinforcements of mere hundreds of men have swung the war back and forth multiple times. Meanwhile if the great mass of Syrian or Iraqi men were half as willing to fight as to go to Europe the war would be over in a week.

This guy is so full of crap. He is summing up percentages from questions from a poll and he makes it sound like this is valid. Is like asking four people two questions, were the first question person a answered yes, and the second question person b and c answered yes, so the result is 25% + 50% = 75%. That is just plain stupid.
And does favoring a region or religious law make one radical?
The public policy polling survey of Feb 2015 found that 57% of Republicans support establishing Christianity as the national religion. In 2013, the Huffington Post survey found 32% of Americans favor the same thing.
The Scripps Howard poll of July 2006 asked if 911 was an inside job by the US and 20% said somewhat likely, and 16% very likely, 5% were not sure, so this comes out to 31% that said yes.
So doing the stupid math the Benny did, 63% of Americans are radicalized.
What a bunch oh shit!

Not the same anon, but I actually think they do. Erdogan is already turning Turkey from a secular country into an Islamic dictatorship.

>get further behind due to age of imperialism, power gradually shifting back to Europe
>get rekt in WW1, Muslim world completely disintegrates as ottomans collapse
>west continues to prop up and thrash regimes
>secularization takes hold along with despotism, mixed with a healthy dose of artificial borders
>Israel, who the Muslims dislike, win against near impossible odds and has western support.
>soviets get kicked out of Afghanistan by Islamic extremists, Iran shortly before went through Islamic revolution. Extreme Wahhabism gets exported by the Saudis
>Iraq happens, where what was believed to be the 4th most powerful military in the world (Iraq, which was secular) is so thoroughly fucked it creates a power vacuum that still exists.
>still far behind the west in many basic ways including agriculture and infrastructure! basically can't compete economically other than oil.
>western culture is the default of the planet, when have you EVER seen a Muslim pop culture movie or bought a Muslim album or read a book by Muslims? Or if you have compare it to the amount of money spent on American books, American music, American movies, American comics, and American video games.


Remember their recent victories have largely been religious extremists succeeding where the seculars have failed. So they see it anyway. It's a call to their glory days where they were mega religious but powerful.

Well our arraingement has essentially run dry. Most of our oil (America's) isn't even Saudi anymore. Our shale production scaled up, that's why Saudis boosted oil production to temporarily make shale uneconomical.

Our deal with Saudis is more or less "you pump, we protect". America's foreign policy in the Middle East has historically been secure global energy security aka "get oil" and "protect Israel". Well, now the oil situation is becoming gradually irrelevant with alternatives and shale.

The new world of alts is making a LOT of people in the developing world nervous.

And it never was. The point remains. USA is the biggest player in consumption and KSA is the biggest player in production. If KSA gets unhappy and fucks with Europe's supply, prices will be affected in the Western hemisphere as well.

>Our deal with Saudis is more or less "you pump, we protect". America's foreign policy in the Middle East has historically been secure global energy security
I absolutely agree with this.

>now the oil situation is becoming gradually irrelevant with alternatives and shale
I have seen no evidence for this. The world economy still runs on fossil energy, mostly petroleum products and natural gas which is co-located with the petroleum. Shale is just another petroleum source, and not a game-changer in any way.

It would be alright if you said "40% of Americans like dessert".

In the case of the video, the beliefs of those surveyed were connected by Islam. There isn't one specific set of beliefs one has to follow to be labelled a "radical". If you believe in honor killings, that's a radical belief. If you believe a woman who divorces her husband should be stoned, that's a radical belief. If you believe Islamic apostasy should be punishable by death, that's a radical belief. Holding any one of those beliefs is enough to make you a "radical".

Shale is a game changer in terms of source.

America has the majority of known shale reserves, and the infrastructure has been growing until the Saudis spammed oil production. But they will run dry eventually.

Then we will see how loyal their people are when there's no oil money to buy their people off.

Solar has also been growing, slowly but surely.

You and the dumb ass in the video think that just because a Muslim likes the idea of sharia law that makes them radical. But you don't think that Christians that want Christianity for all America is not radical.
Christians are such fucking hypocrites

Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

Leviticus 24:16 - And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.

Shale is an enormous game changer, not for fossil fuels but for economic power. Canada, the US, and shit, even Russia are now like "oh shit. We got oil. lots of it. Fuck OPEC." Literally all of OPECs wealth, power, and clout comes from oil. If you dont export oil anymore, what do you have? Nothing. Saudi is in deep shit because they failed to invest their money in anything. They have a ton still, sure, but nothing really to show for it. They are a consumer nation and are sorta fucked under the current system.

let us not exclude a new interest in LPG for more short run fuels.

Solar, Wind, and Hydro electric. these are slow burners, but coming online faster and faster. Europe is driving Wind and Hydroelectric.

Nukes, are coming back online, because we fucking need them. If the US wont, China and fucking Ganesha help us all, India will.

Fusion. Its always 15 years away until it is not. Once we have fusion online, pretty much all large sea going vessels, and one of the biggest energy consumers will go fusion. Power plants, for-fucking-sure. Aircraft? As soon as they can. There is a lot of news about fusion because a lot of money is being pumped into it again, because, again, we fucking need it.

Once fusion happens the world is going to experience a few quick wars because of the energy exporting nations suddenly having very little to offer, and likely becoming importers of power, and that is gonna be some shit.

Whos gonna do it? Western nations, and western allied nations. Its time to really stop calling the west...west...and just call it progressive vs regressive. You only have two mentalities here.

Yeah no. Oil demand in the Developed world is still growing.

Your version of Jesus is a very poor vandalism of the gospels to suit your warlord. Its claim that Jesus got someone else to take his place on the cross actually means you refuse to recognise Christ at all.

That's why stoning people to death is part of sharia.

Christ in the new testament is meek, humble and forgiving. Mohammed is just a murderous warlord who shows none of Christ's qualities.

He is literally an anti-Christ.

Basically the "moderate" muslim is a muslim that isnt trying to bomb the US. However that same Muslim still gives financial support to groups like ISIS or just looks the other way. The majority of Muslims hate the culture of the west. Theu may not all be trying to kill us, but they dont exactly feel bad about 911. The REAL extremist muslims are the ones who integrate into the west and get along with us because they think we are equals.
So these fighters are coming from ALL the muslim countries. The King of Jordan HATES ISIS, his subjects do not. The Saudis have been supplying Al-queda for years so its not too much to imagine ISIS is now gettingn some of that. Turkey lets equipment slip in and illegal oil slip out.
And everytime ISIS has a victory they collect up all the left over weapons and ammo for future use. Same for vehicles. In Iraq we had car farms, that were shipped over there due to corruption....then the IA fell and ISIS got them.

The Russians did NOT make it like that. The Russians were quite cautious about implementing socialism, especially post Lenin/Trotsky, the regime in Afghanistan wanted rapid-communism, kind of like China tried, which they were told would not work by the cynicicalised post-gulag Soviets.

While they assisted in the coup that overthrew the monarchy, it wasn't the soviets who orchestrated mass killings in the villages.

It's not necessary to control all the world's oil.
Oil isn't a bet for the future anyway. And SA has nothing else to offer besides hydrocarbons.

ISIS has lost a lot of ground in Iraq. And now it looks like the US is finally taking off the gloves and laxing the ROE to strike ISIS targets in populated areas.

From yesterday:

Also the US is sending in a USMC force. They've had special forces on the ground who have captured a number of high profile ISIS leaders/commanders and maybe the intelligence is finally starting to pay off.

>Dude Pashtuns lmao
Well, maybe the dari speaking north could have?

Though I met more than a few pashtun who were refugee'd by the russians. Escaped into surrounding countries before getting to the USA. They all seemed alright, two had been architects. The only dumbass, sleeping in my own feces pashtun I met were in the country nowadays and most of them were born during the lawless period after the soviets had shown up.

Not at first...

Why did the russians need to use their version of agent orange in afghanistan?? There are few places with dense foliage that would require it, and places like the Bagram valley were never densely forested like that. It was a farm land.

The russians used their agent orange for the express purpose of killing of agriculture and poisoning whole stretches of land. It was so intense that NATO troops in Bagram are starting to routinely report sicknesses associated with agent orange poisoning, and this is 2-3 decades AFTER the last application of this chemical.

Russians may have not personally committed atrocities at the VERY beginning, but they support and propped up those who did AND then committed some pretty typical russian atrocities as the war dragged on.

If Turkey is relatively moderate, why are they doing more to support ISIS over all these other nations?

They really hate kurds, and I guess they don't see a move that hurts ISIS without (inadvertently) helping kurds.

There's a fuckton. Even if you wanna be the biggest liberal bitch and say that only maybe 1% of Muslims are radicals, that's close to 1 million people! That's a fucking army of crazy nuts, and I'm pretty sure the percentile is larger than 1%. But also hurr durr not all Muslims are bad just to be clear

Actually, Communism was invented in Germany under Karl Marx. It's also the Germans fault during WWI to suppport the Commies during the Bolshevik Revolution. We should have followed Patton's advice in finishing the Soviets after right after WWII since they were already weak from the war.

>just because a Muslim likes the idea of sharia law that makes them radical

well sharia law includes capital punishment for trivial and petty 'crimes' like adultery or apostasy.
if that doesn't qualify as 'radical' in your eyes then your definition of 'radical' is pretty far removed from common reality.

russia didnt destroy afghan society directly. it just usurped and deposed the established government and replaced all the people in power with soviets or soviet puppets.
of course this doesn't go unnoticed.
>DUDE COLD WAR LMAO
so america applies the classic "enemy of my enemy" principle and starts supporting anti-commie resistance.
and now you have russian puppet afghans fighting us puppet afghans. when the russian puppet afghans started losing, russia itself intervened. now you had russia fighting us puppet afghans.

in the end this proxy war thoroughly destroyed the power structure in afghanistan, and the afghans haven't been able to rebuild a functional society ever since.

Pretty much stealing shit from the government. Tooks some shit from Iraq, took some shit from Assad. Shit I remember a few months back when they took a massive fucking ammo dump from Assad right after their banks got bombed. No fucking point targeting the revenue when the shitheads can just steal everything they need.

Funny thing is - on the left is the garden, literally built by soviets. On the right - what USA sponsored bandits and USA invasion left. Brainwashing is at large among amerifats, I see...

I never heard an explanation as to why all the inventory of those overrun military bases in in Iraq was not destroyed by the USA once the Iraq army fled. If the news was able to post same day pictures of those Ford F-350 convoys full of manpads and assault clips, who decided it would not be a good idea to act? Maybe I missed the explanation somewhere along the way.

Muslims cant fight for shit, but they never really surrender either.

Seriously. People think russians have a monopoly on feeding masses into the meat grinder in human wave assaults?

In the 80's iraqis flooded valleys and filled them with high voltage cables. The iranian's just flooded them back with thier children, often brandishing pictures of the mullahs and copies of the quaran as thier only weapon.

All those children and teenage bodies made a nice bridge for the 5,000 or so actual soldiers to assault across later.

Right? That guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Almost all of the infrastructural, social, and agricultural advances in afghan were product of the american and british engineering programs in the 50's.
I get so tired of armchair soviets saying this shit.
>hurrrr country was nice when it was communist then americans sabotaged all of it!!!!

What really happened:
>country is nice because byproducts of late era capitalist colonialism
>colonialism ends
>commies try to fill the power vaccume
>civil war between pro-soviets and anti-soviets
>usa backs antis, soviets back pros
>soviets get BTFO
>soviet russia "waaaaah! Lookit typical product of american capitalist pig-dog adventurism! Was NICE communist country before civil war destroy it!"

Literally taking credit for shit that capitalist societies built.
Yup. Sounds pretty soviet to me.
