We understand this video is going to be controversial, and some of you will disagree with what was presented. We welcome an honest and respectful conversation in the comments below, but we discourage ad hominem.
Corrections:
- I understand that "South Central Asia" is a more accurate term to describe the location of Afghanistan and Pakistan instead of saying "The Middle East." We'll be sure to correct the wording next time a conflict is covered in this region.

I'm glad you're covering more recent and controversial topics like Afghanistan. Iraq next, please! Then maybe the Syrian civil war, and the war on terror in general.
Hurricane Katrina would also be cool.
Welcome back
Thank you for the awesome video.
2001: The Taliban controls Afghanistan.
2021: The Taliban controls Afghanistan ... but with Blackhawks and UAVs.
they already crashed a blackhawk they got no clue how to use them things
@@birdienuke2979 They'll learn some day.
@@wasifzakwan8722 not before it's all broken. Not even the ANA can maintain our gear, and we trained them to.
@@ufffd The fact that they have it at all is kinda f**k'd. Yet they are soo worried about those 2A nuts with pee shooters.
I’m more worried they’ll just send it to Russia or some other country to clone it. China already copied the Blackhawk with their Z-20. They could make it even closer to the original with the original in Afghanistan.
When stuff from 2002 starts becoming “history”, I , a 23 year old, feel old.
I mean technically 5 seconds ago is also history

It makes me excited to see the future pass and get my peace
@@FrostyWheats it *was* yesterday when I read last year's afghanistan casualty report.
So, who is watching this for a bit of context now that the Afghan government has collapsed today?
My friend is actually being shipped back to Afghan very soon smh
I feel that around 7:15 to 7:55 perfectly sums up why the USA failed as miserably as it did. This is going to be one awkward 9/11 memorial for America.
@@Tenebraeification they got what they wanted. Kill Osama but still it was pointless. Any war is pointless
Me!!! The helicopters evacuating were as memorable as the planes crashing into wtc...
me watching American Humilation on live Tv , What a historical humilation for USA
the Taliban never refused to hand over Bin Laden or to attempt dispelling Al-Qaeda, Bush refused their terms and the Taliban had been attempting to dispel Al-Qaeda for years, particularly after the embassies were attacked in the 90's.
No many of the taliban went to Al qaeda or play both sides
Yes. After knowing this fact, I wander if US had not invaded Afghanistan and Iraq spending trillions for a President to play war hero, would US have less problems at home. The sad things is nothing good came out of it for the people of Afghanistan. They are just as poor and corrupt during and after the US occupation and the inevitable death of thousands of civilians caught in the cross fire.
Thank you!! Such f*cking American exceptionalist propoganda from this dude
What were the terms they gave to the United States?
Blatantly false, but whatever floats your boat
Its surreal watching this the day the U.S evacuates.
All that I worked for down the drain smh
it was the inevitable outcome, be happy it happened now I guess
@@LNKSonRUclips your right

My exact thoughts before I started the video.
We're monetized right now!
@@TheArmchairHistorian Oooorrahh! Let's hope it'll stay like that on this and your next videos. You've got my respect for still going, doing all this hard work (including animators, etc).
You have no idea...
Hey how about the invasion of Afghanistan from the Soviet perspective?
(guys I mean the communist invasion of Afghanistan from the Soviet perspective)
@dachicagoan he said the soviet perspective, it would be fine for yt because it would serve as propaganda
@dachicagoan Is that why the gulf war video was also demonetized? Or what about the anti-soviet ones also being demonetized? Nice argument snowflake.
@dachicagoan liberals ruin everything these days
@dachicagoan I wonder where this notion that leftists hate history came from.
Of course it's a right wing distortion. And its implications are apparent enough.
But it's always interesting to see such a similar talking point arise in so many different contexts.
Unfortunately for you, your recitation of this argument is less sophisticated than most I've seen. People have specifically claimed that Marx fundamentally misunderstood history, which is a claim more worthy of examination than this third-rate parroting on display here.
Watch THE BEAST OF WAR.
It sucks we have to learn the details 19 years later. Imagine what goes on today that won't be confirmed until 2040. smh.
If there is a 2040
The "Uyghur re-education camps" are today's "big lie". Vocational education and training centers in which young people are taught job skills in addition to the national language and Chinese law are being construed as "concentration camps" by the same media companies that pushed the narrative of Saddam's "WMDs", of Kuwaiti babies being "taken out of incubators" by Iraqi soldiers and left to die. The US fears China's rise and wants to do everything in its power to sabotage China. I'm not going to be very popular posting this now, but in 20 years history will prove me correct. Ever wonder why China has allegedly been doing this for decades, yet we've only started hearing about this since mid-2018? This is why; it's 90% disinformation and 10% truth. Please, I urge you to look into this.
Here's a good video on the matter. ruclips.net/video/v_XI-aiCa34/видео.html
don`t even try to be "informed", better to be true to your own thoughts. you gonna be just more misinformed, not informed. so you get the feeling of not missing out if you just don't listen to the radio or watch tv anymore, wich is messing you up anyway. trust me. am a 32 year old guy that discovered there is no "truth" in history, it`s more like storytelling I guess
@@kimilsungia7507 If that's true then China can show and tell us everything about the camps. They won't, probably because they're not really re-education centers.

I am an Afghan and I was an interpreter for U.S Army special forces in Afghanistan for 11 years, I witnessed most of the crazy things that happened in my country. After 19 years of conflicts and spending trillion dollars, Afghanistan is in a worse situation than 2001 before the invasion.

The RUclips algorithm has a sick sense of humor
More like, at least have some sense of History
Seriously, after Kabul’s fall, I guess we can all use some context
RUclips is basically trying to tell to the U.S "don't f*ck with others"
Bro they recommended Tom Cruise's stunt where he held on to a plane in Mission Impossible just as refugees are doing in Afghanistan. It's fucked.
Long story short: don’t intervene in other state affairs.
Yuh
This is the history channel with the best atmosphere. The music, the drawings and the tone are really immersive.
When we lost the History Channel from the late 90's to reality TV, I'm thankful for your channel. Keep it up!
I remember watching hardcore stuff on history channel
Like people visiting head hunter tribes and what not
@@azmanabdula I remember watching their ww2, ww1, Vietnam and other war documentaries. It was a real interesting watch when I was a kid, now the History channel is trying to be like a&e, and it sucks hugely.
Yeah history and true crimes were my favorite growing up. Couldn't stand the clownery that is reality tv on their Network anymore
I hate what they did with the history channel
I used to love watching those old boring British black and white documentaries on both the world wars. Those were my favorite as a kid
Love the Star Wars Battlefront “zoom in” reference
Thank you I knew but I couldn't place it
My nostalgia kicked in
Only real ones caught that!
Do-dodo-do, do-dodo-do
Those were the good days
As I am watching this the President of Afghanistan has fled and The Taliban have won, still comprehending the fact that we went to war for 20 years for no reason.
4 trillion taxpayer dollars down the drain, damn.
@@diego-bm7mi sadly, most of the budget goes to the military. Sigh
I saw a similar comment that says Afghanistan is this decade’s Vietnam
Can see why
Wouldn't say for no reason the US did accomplish things. The Taliban takeover was always going to happen when US operations ended no matter what it should be no surprise simply because the loyalty and bravery of the Afghan National Army is practically non existent. Full of corruption and people you would never be able to rely on.
@@zombieepx1933 ya that's why we could never leave before they knew when they left this would happen

This really is amazing, it's got alot of tiny nuggets of humor sprinkled in with the animation which just makes it so awesome!
My thought exactly! It seems like at least one new fancy technique gets added with each new video.
Imagine being that one Taliban soldier in interrogation
''Where are the rest of your regiment?''
''They said they saw something cool and would be back in a minute'
@Vladimir makarov oh so you cherrypick cases now? by taking one of the worst lucky shots taliban had on US copters with soldiers on board?
yeah the problem is thats not the common case we have, in nearly all other cases it is taliban who lost fighters to the US-Afghan forces
what? did you tune in your news channel only when that copter got downed then tune it off again clueless of any other fights against the taliban?
@Vladimir makarov the ussr lost also so chill Russian troll
@Vladimir makarov I'm not sure you could say that America "lost." Suppressing a foreign regime, and making sure your own puppet is in charge, is not "losing." Sure, occupying Afghanistan was uncomfortable for both American troops and not least for "public opinion," but in the end they solved the mission. I'd call that a "win" personally, though it has elements of a phyrric victory. Albeit not in allied _lives_ lost, but in esteem and honour lost by the American government and people. This is where we learned that America is no longer the land of the free, and that they are just as ruthless and top-heavy as nations we don't normally like to compare ourselves with...
Americans were keenly aware of this loss of honour, and perhaps that is their biggest loss to date, because being faced with people criticizing them on every corner of the world can't be easy for a people who identify themselves as a bastion of opportunity, democracy and freedom. It is for _that_ reason Trump won so many votes simply by having a slogan saying "Make America Great Again". I mean, obviously America is "Great" as in a nation to be feared for their military power, but no American really wants to be feared. Americans wants to be loved, like they were in most of the world in the 50's and 60's (with the notable exception of the Communist nations).
Vladimir makarov Need I remind you how much men the Russians lost to the Germans?
Taliban in 2001: you’re gonna get tired and leave
20 years later: nice we got APCs
Then years later USA signed a deal with the Taliban.... need part 2 of this

Great video dude.
same for me too
Yeah same one of my most vivid memories was listening to the radio reporting that the death toll of British soldiers had reached 100
I remember as a kid my family came together over at the living room while the TV broadcasted the invasion of Iraq.
I remember, I was really young, watching some people cheering in a bar. The news had reached the people of New York that bin laden was killed

Nice video bro. Me being an afghan I can tell you got 95% of the History right, the only things you missed are that 1: Pakistan Never stopped helping the Taliban, Pakistan is helping the Taliban till the present day 2: America was never 100% in control, a few years after Karzai came to power Taliban controlled 50% of Afghanistan mainly southern parts 3: opium production continued after the American invasion but this time the profit split between western forces and the Taliban.

@Rafael yes it was taliban but taliban were backed by US and pakistan and in an interview with a talib who was with mullah omar he said clearly that we had orders from mullah omar to surround dr najeeb's house and not to do any harm to him or his family but as we went there dr najeeb was already dead they had killed him placed a bottle of wine in his hand and were dragging him and according to that talib the only one that can benefit from dr najeebs death except taliban was pakistan because he was against pakistan

Being an Afghan and from Kandahar, the story is totally one dimensional.
Most stories are. It's our job as viewers to recognize just that.
Considering this is only 20min, I think it does a great job, at trying to explain this one dimension. "Historical reasons, why catching Bin Laden, and removing the Taliban failed in Afghanistan".
As A Danish Helmand veteran, who went to your country, to protect you and your countrymen from oppression. I'd say, I failed, my government failed, and the international community failed. I am truly sorry.
I wish I could do more. I wish my countries leaders would do more, rather then just saying 'Mission failed'.
The main takeaway from this video, that I think is of historic relevance is. That the Americans, British initially, and ISAF in the long run. Didn't understand the culture and history of Afghanistan, hence could never succeed at their goal, unless being fully committed for the long game. Which history shows, none of them were.
As an addition that the video doesn't touch. Forcing your own ideals, in this case western, on a completely different society, will cause tension with the local populace. Which probably isn't what you'd want, during an armed conflict, where you could be seen as the aggressor.

SamTheSwift Gg it’s so depressing when you think about it.
It would've been over if troops were allowed to enter Pakistan and finish the job
Imagine administrations letting the military run things as it should have been I.e poppy eradication and raids into Quetta Pakistan. This would have been over fast
It surely was a great plan. All it took was 80,000 or so dead taliban/al qaeda fighters, 30,000 dead Afghani citizens, and 70,000 dead Afghani soldiers. That isn't even counting the hundreds of thousands of wounded arabs and muslims in addition to countless more killed and wounded as collateral damage and the utter destruction of dozens of cities and towns in other arab countries as the conflict spread.
I don't care what side of the conflict you think is in the right. No matter what you think of what happened there is one certainty; if bin laden actually intended to kill about 5,000 Americans for the above-mentioned cost then he is either a complete moron or he wanted the islamic world to suffer immeasurable harm so that he could cause comparatively negligent harm to the west.

History repeats itself.
Young Americans sent to Afghanistan and died for nothing
Taliban will create a new terrorist group now and America will regret leaving Afghan.
The Former Afgan Security Forces will be known for waving the white flag.
Not sure what it is, but Kabul seems to be falling under the attacking force's control fairly easily every time it is mentioned, as well as recently. Something about the city's layout must be making it difficult to defend.

@Daniel Robinson do you know how the American dollar has value since it's off the gold standard? There's a real shitty reason we are always in the middle east doing war. Richard Nixon and his sos made a deal with the OPEC nations that they only accept American dollars when selling oil in exchange for american military forces upholding their power in their own countries.
Every other country has to agree to what we say the dollar is worth then change their money to us dollars or they can't buy crude oil.

You missed the most crucial part here. The Afghans follow the Pathan Code of Honour which puts special emphasis on being faithful to those that once helped you.
This means that while many Afghans may have had disagreements over Usama's actions, they were honour bound to die defending him regardless. This adds a very interesting perspective on their motivations and paints them all in a more nuanced light

I really like the armchair historian, however, he left out some pretty important parts especially Ahmed Shah Massoud and the northern alliance. Massoud was the most successful military leader of the mujahideen even thought he got much less supplies then other members in the mujahideen because of Pakistan. After the fall of the soviet backed government the mujahideen agreed to power sharing expect for Hekmatyar who was backed by Pakistan. He then led a brutal civil war that included the shelling of Kabul. The Afghan government with Massoud as minster of defence was able to beat back Hekmatyar forces. However, during this time the Afghan government had very little control in southern Afghanistan which led to the Taliban controlling the region.
After the civil war with Hekmatyar the new Afghan government had to then deal wth the Taliban which were being helped by Pakistan after they saw Hekmatyar no longer being an option to led Afghanistan. The various militias in Afghanistan formed the Northern Alliance to try to stop the Taliban but with very little success outside of areas of northeastern Afghanistan which were areas that supported Massoud. After the Taliban captured Kabul in 1996 they would continue to fight Massoud and the Northern Alliance until the fall of the Taliban government. The Taliban never captured all of Afghanistan and the areas under Massoud control were much more liberal especially for women. Massoud would be assassinated two days before 9/11 by al-Qaeda, a terrorist attack he had warned about when he spoke at the European Parliament earlier that year. I just feel that during this period of Afghanistan Massoud needed to be included because of how important a figure he was.
Paragraphs are a thing my man
Zachary Romaniuk that guy was killed before a couple days before 9/11.
Alastair He said that in his comment
What you just said really has no bearing on the content of this video. Including everything you just wrote in his video would've been as relevant as including details about the Bush/Gore election and all its drama. Pretty much irrelevant.
@@decidiousrex The bush gore thing was very relevant, in was quintessential in fact. That election was stolen to continue the war machine. Bush's are an oil family. Cheney ran a defense corporation for a decade before the war. Most of the Bush cabinet made millions off of this war by way of the defense contracts. This was literally a war for profit to the tune of Billions. And it still continues today. And the 2004 election was surely part of this grand scheme.

It even sounds cheesy, like it belongs in the 80s C-class action movie.
Why didn't you mention that John Chapman was actually trying to reclaim a fallen soldiers body? He got trapped in their own bunker then wounded and passed out. Chapman woke up in the enemy bunker the next day ALONE and tried to fight his way to a helicopter rescue and then died while surrounded on all sides. Chapman died fighting in the open not trapped in a bunker.
Edit: the initial attack and subsequent rescue attempt were both recorded for any who want to see a true bad ass.
I don't think he knows much about the battle. Made Chapman sound like a SEAL too. Doesn't seem to understand that bin Laden was located in Jalalabad and Tora Bora long before 9/11.
Maybe we are not interested about how Chapman died
This video isn't just about military clashes and victory, it is mostly about US involvment in Afghanistan,the reasons and the consequences.
Long story short : Chapman died for nothing thanks to a useless american government thinking that we can solve anything with sheer force.
There is a lot of misinformation in this video, counted 3 right off the bat. Seems very biasedly produced.
He didn't do any research on Chapman. Didn't even mention Neil Roberts, the Navy SEAL who was trapped up there and was ultimately killed. No mention of "Robert's Ridge."
@deltamatt001 No one cares about any of them, least of all the US Govt. They are extremely well-paid, especially with the bonuses. They have gone there to kill and destroy to make more money.

Wow, Like how USSR represented as evil.
The rural groups saw reform as too big of a change of their way of living and especially taxes.
So they said no and threatened the guy in the office.
Soviets came to properly established and maintain a civilized central state.
The guerillas who wanted an Islamic state which was thought as a bad thing from the start went to mountains.
They would succumb eventually but suddenly US decided to stop spread of communism and aided guys who wanted to spread Islamic ideologies. Bravo.
So in 1989 USSR left leaving Afgan army to fight on their own.
By 2001 Taliban won over other Islamic groups and hid Ben Laden.
And here goes a truly heroic act trying to establish a civilized state by US. How original and generous.
My thoughts if it doesn't turn too rogue and make trouble for other nations they're better left alone.
It's their country and when they want a "civilized" state that has been offered then they'll do it.
But this video is so one-sided.
