Becouse I'm not a fan of the Duda-Morawiecki and their position about EU integration, LGBT rights, media freedom and Ziobro's terrible positions on almost everything. Yeah, not that Tusk and SLD are so better, to be fair :p

Yes, I have seen that the Accord is losing several Members. It is a pity that the media law has passed to the Sejm, but will the government also have the votes in the Senate?

Law & Justice doesn't have a majority in Senate ;)  At the end of the day Americans will still own TVN so this is much ado about nothing.

from what I read in social media, it seems Taliban took full control of Herat, the third largest city of Afghanistan and they are going to capture Kandahar (the 2nd city) in next few hours or days. Kabul will fall in few weeks, it won't even last till the end of 2021. those corrupt politicians will fly to some western countries and poor people will remain to deal with these monsters. I bet Mr Ashraf Ghani already has his plane ready to fly

 

personally I know more about Herat because that's close to our border and people there have more or less the same culture. so it's just heartbreaking to read such news. reading people's reaction in social media almost makes me cry :cry:  what's more disappointing is that the whole world doesn't care. this was easily preventable. 

 

so I guess we won't see Afghanistan at the Olympics anymore. but but but the generous Tommy Bach and his friends will invite few shitty random athletes from Europe with Afghan heritage for the next refugee team to give """hope""" and happiness to all refugees around the world. problem solved.

pakistan supports the taliban

Expand  

yes that's what common people say in Afghanistan, twitter is full of #sanctionpakistan but I think it's more complicated than that. yes it seems some elements of Pakistan army are supporting the Taliban but it's not like Imran Khan himself is doing that.

 

Pakistan is probably the most complicated country in the world! nobody knows who is really in power. Pakistan is like an atomic bomb that can explode at any moment.

 

but one thing is for sure. the Pakistani government is not strong enough, they don't even have control over their borders. that's why lots of terrorist groups find home in Pakistan.

During the OG, I am just too focused on games and I censored all kinds of news from real world. But now it’s time to back to reality.

 

It may sounds cruel but I do support US and its allies withdrawal from Afghan. An foreign forces made government is without futures. It’s fate is leaning on the extent of foreign interference. Once it’s abandoned, it’s definitely gonna be miserable. The future of Afghan should be shaped by its own people with or without violence. 
 

Well the fate of the weak is never on its own. When to enter and when to leave your country is never up to you. Good luck to Afghan people.

Most (not all) Taliban fighters are from the Pashtun/Pathan tribe. Pakistan's Pashtun dominated North Western Frontier Province (NWFP) was added to Pakistan by the British. However, it was decided that after 100 years the province will be shifted back to Afghanistan.

This is what Pakistan plans to prevent at all cost. Therefore, Pakistani jihadi groups that are mostly comprised of Punjabi Sunni Muslims are being sent to Afghanistan to fight against the Afghan government.

1) Imran Khan has no control over the army. Everybody knows that Pakistani Army and ISI has the real power in Pakistan. 

 

2) Imran Khan used to be called Taliban Khan during Musharraf times due to his close contacts with Taliban.

    • It's Australian Nationals that Ceccon will be competing at where he'll be allowed in the A Final. Trials aren't until June.   I'm quite excited to see what times he puts up and hope he doesn't scratch any events from his huge program (100/200 FR, 50/100/200 BK, 50/100 FL).

    • Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1.   Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi.   there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former.   Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo.   I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building).   So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.

    • After the first period of today's game against Spain, I had a small hope the team could fight for a medal; but it seems they will instead contest the relegation.
