> Apparently the US encouraged radical Islam as a way of opposing Soviet occupation....were a bunch of mujahideen groups,

Jihadists.

Radicals and mujahideen are the terms the US media and government use when they're attacking non-Muslims/infidels for reasons the US is onboard with.

They didn't just encourage them. They armed and trained them and kept them supplied with everything they needed to create destruction.

Interesting but not mentioned in article. What are the odds?

Today: > Hao Kuo Chi, 40, of La Puente, has agreed to plead guilty to four felonies

then also a Hao Kuo Chi who was 26 in March 2007.

from 2007 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-apr-12-me-geeks...

> The suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of Sarah Vasquez, 22, and her mother, Natalie Fornaciari, 46, both from city of Industry, alleges that Geek Squad technician Hao Kuo Chi, 26, placed his cellphone in Vasquez’s bathroom during a computer service call March 4 and recorded her showering.

Not only that, the 1st paragrapph also mentions:

> But he ended up sparking a Twitter storm, causing a debate about how to build a fairer country along the way.

And yet the article never mentions any of those tweets or even summarises them. It literally just recounts his tweets with his photos.

FTA

> She retired from the Post in 2003.

Also, it seems as that quote is from her time there in the 60s judging by the surrounding paragraphs (clearer and more explicit) timelines.

> there are desktop (and phone) clients for every major OS out there. This shows that you are really not familiar with

Now you sound as if you are not familiar with it. Looks like Webex added Linux(Deb & RHEL) on May 28, 2021. Before that, you had to use their legacy java applcation which also necessitated you to *manually* figure out, then hunt down & install the missing dependencies. And it was still shit.

from your own WaPo link:

> on average, Afghans did not care whether the Taliban had majority control over a post-peace government.

Pakistan has never been a good ally to anyone but Muslim majority countries and Islamic terrorist groups.

Pakistan is now heavily indebted and dependent on China for economy, military and finance. They will reap what they sow.

In 20 years time, they will be begging the West & Western institutions for assistance & intervention and I hope we can all turn our back on them.
