Wow! how prophetic .... Kabul just fell to the Taliban and US is in disgrace....they left all their equipment and their people....yes China wants Afghanistans minerals so the show goes on.....this guy should be advising govt about Afghanistan
Ignored in the sense that the conflicts role is downplayed and deemed irrelivent and portrayed as if the British simply weren´t interested in Afghanistan . All empires do this when they get their assess handed to them by the supposedly weaker foe.
Also this was not Afhgans who fought, but Taliban.... so Afghans did have little role to cause defeat because in every case they sided with the foreign invaders.
Lol what? Taliban didn't exist in Soviet times, the Mujhadeen were all Afghans who were aided by America to fight the soviets. All Pakistan did was brainwash young Afghan refugees into doing Jihad in Afghanistan sometime during the brink of the Soviet defeat. All Pakistan did was fund extremist groups and these groups would later become the Taliban. We can thank your country for terrorism in Afghanistan. Oh and just remember who converted you to Islam you former British slave.
Shah Shuja was not even full popalzai, his mother was Indian and he was one of 300 children of Timur shah. he never lived in Afghanistan and he couldn't even speak Pashtu.
@@MuhammadYousaf-yf2pg At least he didn't sell his country like a coward but also Shah Shuja was mentally sick. he would torture his workers. most of the history was written by the British because he lived in a British captive for 30 years.
Not very prophetic regarding the Taliban taking over again. Interesting to hear how convinced former CIA agent was regarding this. Obviously this is hindsight and it is great to listen to what very knowledgeable were thinking years in advance.
and 3 years after this was posted, we are still there
And 8 years after this was posted, we're gone. The old Afghan man from the 1:00 hour mark was correct.
A most blind confidence, completely unwarranted, brought about the danger. And that embicility, unprecedented, completed the catastrophe.
LOL at the prediction that it was unlikely for Taliban to return to power!
what is the word he is using at 27:11 :"declourt"???!!!
Can someone please tell him to come close to the mic and talk!
Afghans 4
Anglo Saxons 0
Interesting material.... volume please. 🎙😐
Afghanistan's destiny is not effected by the neighbours but vice versa as the history of India is privy to that;
George Costanza my man! I knew he was really a brit!
Well looks like history repeats
3:16 to skip intro
Speaker is talking for himself. We canon hear him clear.

Poems real ending: Like a soldier who's INSANE. Would have never went there if sane.
Isn’t this guy’s body out of proportion with his head? As if he were a body builder and the head couldn’t keep up the pace of growth.

That is what exactly happened!!
Everybody was aware that it is bound to happen!!!
The way he calls him "Willie"!
6:01 starts...

Just read his book- fascinating. A period of UK history that has been "conveniently" ignored
Ignored? There are dozens of videos and scores of books on the subject.
Ignored in the sense that the conflicts role is downplayed and deemed irrelivent and portrayed as if the British simply weren´t interested in Afghanistan . All empires do this when they get their assess handed to them by the supposedly weaker foe.
Can't hear you.
coz he wants to hide the realty
Ah... microphone
That willy of mine should get closer to the mic we can not hear him properly.
Who is watching this 2024 😂😂 this history is inevitable
Even if Chinese come, they have Gangez Khan's blood running through veins.
1:03:18 has meme potential
You cannot nor ever will in against tribespeople,they have all the odds in their favour.
Audio is tragic.
As if the Taliban need to be coerced grow poppy.
and one thing UK is also responsible for the humiliation of US in Afghanistan for you fellows did not timely advised.

One and the foremost reason has been relying on the people like Shah Shuja and his direct descendant like Karzai and alike.
Karzai is not a descendant of Shuja.
Shah Shuja was not even full popalzai, his mother was Indian and he was one of 300 children of Timur shah. he never lived in Afghanistan and he couldn't even speak Pashtu.
@@elhamhemat572 Neither was Sher Shah Sori--Could even speak Pashto, had never been to Afghanistan, not even perhaps to Peshawar.
@@MuhammadYousaf-yf2pg At least he didn't sell his country like a coward but also Shah Shuja was mentally sick. he would torture his workers. most of the history was written by the British because he lived in a British captive for 30 years.
@@elhamhemat572 Shuja was the 🐶 of British and Sher Sha was loud, proud and wise Afghan.

Amrullah Saleh was dead wrong 😑
