    Yeah, see this is why it’s important to have a project plan beforehand. If we’d known “tourism” was on the roadmap we’d have done a few things differently.

    Wasn’t there some influencer who went there last year to prove he was safer there than in the West and they murdered him?

        Found it - Miles Routledge, and he wasn’t murdered, “just” captured and held prisoner by the Taliban for eight months.

          Miles described his time of imprisonment as a “holiday” and “living the lap of luxury”, saying he was kept in a luxurious guest house, with several Taliban servants, and that he has been treated well during his time there, even being able to buy an Xbox, and being well fed with foods like pizza and kebabs. He recently went back to Afghanistan to visit his friends in the GDI and plans to open businesses such a gold mine there

    I heard they don’t even chop off your head anymore! I was floored! They only scratch it a little now. It’s like that Catholic thing where they mark the doors red and they mark their forehead with ashes. But they do run you over and stone you. It’s an improvement.

        No, no, don’t worry, they’re attracting Chinese tourists and selling the nation’s mineral rights to Chinese corporations, so it’s actually Socialism With Chinese Characteristics.

      Literally no one is thinking like that. This is a construct of the zionist brain.
