The amount of facts in this video - little to none..
The amount of propaganda - overwhelming 🤦♂️
just watched it yesterday and now going to this
what does 911 have to do with taliban? one has to be more than naiv to believe the official story
America: supplies Mujahideen w stingers so they can shoot down Russian gunships
Taliban 20 years later: uno reverse card
lol perhaps, but the US has proven to be a nation much harder to get rid of.
Plus the Taliban are having a hard time to getting people to follow along with their beliefs.
Though granted i have gaps in my knowledge.
@TheWinged Hussar Yeah, we saw that in Vietnam. Not to mention US had a stalemate in Korea. For Syria right now, the US is an insignificant player compared to Russia, Iran and Turkey. It’s just staying there for the good oil.
@@artman7780 isn't that a good strategy move ? That was the whole idea of splitting the area after the fall of the ottomans , keep the Arabs fighting against each other so they can never rise against us , do you think the USA care at all what's going on there , the USA there for two reason oil and Israel thats it and just liked you said they getting that oil without fighting . Great move to be honest .
@@cyrusthegreat4784 Would've been better to just let them have the lands they were promised, since the people that took over were ACTUAL hardliners rather than the more reasonable and secular leaders that would've been easier to negotiate with.
Sykes Picot was one of the dumbest things our species has done, still dealing with the consequences to this day :/
@@artman7780 I'd rather they die fighting terrorists than Americans. And we don't need their oil. The US is a net oil and natural gas exporter thanks to fracking. We're just making sure their oil wells don't fall to terrorists who use them to fund their operations.

Imagine being an American soldier with a few months to years of training and every enemy you face has only known warfare since they were a fetus

@Capitalist Warrior Bruh, didn't you listen to what he said in the beginning of the video? How the Mujahideen dominated the Soviet despite lack of technology?
Biden said once never to put the US in a situation they witnessed in Vietnam.
Guess what?
I've always wondered where the Talibans came from and why the fought... it's insane how we never hear about the origins of them on the news, as one could imagine it being quite essential to be able to get the entire picture of the situation
Where they came from? They literally never left where they came from lmao. They were just living by their conservative values for thousands of years business as usual.

@@asisibayuda9778 well if you fight in a war and kill people for the first time and see blood and kill bad people your not the same person anymore some people go mentally insane when going to war
As a Pashtun myself let me tell you Pashtun male chauvinism is nothing new. My own great grandfather was fond of assembling a lashkar (militia) and raiding British India, then fought as a loyalist for King Amanullah back in 1920s along with Nadir Shah (then a general of Amanullah) after defeating the usurper Bachai Saqao Nadir Shah took the throne for himself and my great grandfather found himself in exile and as a fugitive in british india. So yeah afghans warring and betraying eachother is nothing new
When events from 2002 are called history, an 18 year old starts to feel really old.
I guarantee there’s an 18 year old in Afghanistan right now who’s gonna come home from his 6 month deployment, and be 1 year older than his peers.
Yep
Mujahideen was sometime around the 80's... supply weapon by usa... rocket launcher are alot cheaper than a russian attack helicoptor...they learn IED and get AK from close by funding by usa.. that why they got left when russian is gone.. they just feel used by usa to fight their war... hecne the 9-11.... sin of father..
When you were old enough to buy liquor in 2002 and realize that was 18 years ago, you feel old. Happens to any of us that live long enough.
If it makes you feel better I was in Kindergarten two years after the US-occupied Iraq.
History repeats again, sad for all these people so much suffering
So Pakistani clerics crqted the Taliban
The Holy book has been misinterpreted and this has resulted in mindless killing.
Man repeats history
"They abandoned their Communist Afghan allies to the wolves."
"The Mujahidin forces enclosed on Kabul and overthrew the Communist leadership."
Replace the word, "Communist" with the expression, "America-backed"
Replace the word, "Mujahidin" with the word, "Taliban",
and you can see that we Americans followed in the Russians' footsteps. :(
@@silentwatch7643 they are more than that about religion things
@@silentwatch7643 The Taliban are doing things Muhammad laid out n the Qur’an and Hadith. They extend these things to modern inventions that didn’t exist in Arabian culture. Clerics in Saudi Arabia did the same -complained about radio and TVs in the 1960s. The Taliban is even worse. When people say extreme that is only because the Taliban is following Muhammad and Islamic history such as Muhammad and his soldiers conquered tribes, destroyed statues (called idols), didn’t allow paintings, covered women, and so on. Entertainment too.
What happens in madrassas is they totally immerse these kids into Islam and the fighting, hatred of non-Muslims which is all over the Qur’an…I’ve read it. Iran did this to boys when Iraq invaded them. Pretty much convinced boys to want to die for Allah.
But even Wahhabist Saudi Arabia is now letting women not to have to wear the abaya but dressing respectfully, even allowing respectful music, especially ancient instruments and of course modern things. They still have some strict rules, some Qur’anic others cultural.
It would be stupid if they followed the Qur’an’s allowing marrying cousins because we know that causes health problems and blindness.

these 13 minutes have done a much better job than hours after hours of news and documentaries created by pundits.
From what I could gather, its impossible to dislodge the Taliban without engaging in a sort of cultural genocide on the Afghans. It is who they are, a conservative, deeply religious patriarchy. You cannot be half-hearted against them, It is either all in, or just leave them be, no matter how disturbing that thought is.
Exactly how Genghis Khan was the only one to completely subjugate them
True, 80% of men in Afghanistan support the Taliban. That is their way of life. You just have to respect it. I think if America spent less time on its high horse and more time actually trying to help its people it would be far better off. Also Americans need to stop thinking so 2 dimensionally. Shit is not good vs evil.
@@victormacdougall6395 it did or at least the us thought it did. but it seems like it was just screwed from the jump it was an impossible region to capture and hold with little to no inferstructure and roads and have been fighting for years and years so you would have to basically build up it's nation and go in at saying that we are gonna take a lose to build this country and pray we can get something out of it but that still could have failed. I'm not saying that they couldn't have done better but you were gonna have to play civilization on the hardest difficulty with little to no resources while dealing with a civil war

this video and the creater hate taliban thats why it,s so negative
@@barbarossalivegaming I mean, the Taliban aren’t really a stable government. I feel so bad for the civilians in the area, they’ve been through so much. First the Soviets, then the individual corrupt leaders of each area. Then the Taliban promised the people stability and so the people supported them only for the Taliban to turn around and start enforcing tons of new laws on the people who just want to live. I don’t think the Taliban is all as bad as the western governments want us to believe, but there are certainly sections of their government which are horribly corrupt and oppressive.
I fully concur.
I was well aware of the outlines of this generations-long catastrophe, but Shivan has once again analyzed and presented it in a way that deepened my insight.
Thanks, man!
Very well put together video once again! Your videos always encourage me to do further reading the topics you present and it gives me a good overview to start with. I’ve absolutely been pounding the books on taliban recently and I’m still learning something new.

Ive learned alot from this video and this has given me alot of understanding of who the taliban are
Proves that guerilla warfare is superior and air power doesn't mean anything.
To think that Afghanistan has been seeing conflict for around 40 years, shits crazy man
Crazy and sad.
Afghanistan was a progressive, educated and positively developing nation before the Soviets went in.
That was the start of the awful situation… and it has never been solved.
Destroy the Taliban NOW.
@@lachlanwelsh5880 unfortunately, the Taliban won't be removed from Afghanistan only by force. The US/NATO tried to do that and failed, because guerrilla fighting went on, just like with the Soviets. The REAL weakness of the Taliban which can be exploited is their financing: Wahhabi Islam is backed by Saudi Arabia (oil money) and neighbouring Wahhabi Pashtuns, in Pakistan. If these two are toppled, the Taliban will be left alone.

@@adamradziwill especially taken into consideration similar appearance and cultural proximity with Europeans. Yeah, Russians are Mongols))))
A "toy bomb" that attractes innocent kids. That is just one of the lowest most evil and merciless thing a human could do.
Probably a lie.
Like "babies on bayonets" in ww1. Or the famous Nayirah testimony, about Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators and leave the babies to die. (check it out on RUclips)
Atrocity propaganda is the spreading of information about the crimes committed by an enemy, often includes or features deliberate fabrications or exaggerations. Such stories are invented in every war, very much.
In the west thousands of such fake stories are made against the Soviet Union. For making them look and feel bad. Propaganda psyops are mostly about making a gut feeling.
I like "CaspianReport", but it is very biased and often not very factual, and tends to follow NATO narratives. That is my impression anyway.
I don't want to call it downright a lie, but Shirvan made a mistake of course. Those Soviet mines ПФМ-1 were almost the exact copy of American Blu-43/B "Dragontooth" used in Vietnam, and children were often picking them up, because of their unusual form, confusing them for a toy. But they were never intentionally designed to target children. So Shirwan simply didn't do his homework here.
A kid in Afghanistan is not innocent. A 7 year old will shoot you with an AK-47 without hesitation. A 15 year old kid will chop your head off and play soccer with it. There’s a reason why Soviets targeted kids. Do not demonize one side. Especially when you’ve never fought in a war.
@@courage-3954 I... I think, I need a break from the topic
I loathe the Soviets and everything communist, we had their army "temporarily" dislocated in our country for 23 years as a "brotherhood help to normalize our socialist establishment ". In fact they were pure occupants, there was nothing temporary about it and they only f...ed off after the collapse of the USSR.
But this idea of "baby mines" or "toy bombs" seems very far-fetched to me! What probably happened was that kids out of curiosity picked up mines, not intended for them, they were the only interesting objects in otherwise monotonous desert and got injured or killed. I absolutely can see myself picking up such thing as a child. American anti Soviet propaganda turned them into toy bombs.
But that doesn't really change the immorality of such devices though.
This has been very insightful. Thank you for sharing this.
Shirvan, I really love you, you never disappoint.
As an Afghan, I couldn’t agree more to the explanation.
Like I say my Afghan friend long live the influence of the northern alliance and most of all the influence of Ahmad Shah Massoud
then you know.. your land had been fighting for very long time... it just differnt country... it just life of middle kingdom.. as a guy with the same middle kingdom country.. it just life of endless fight...

@@ofcr3237 It's a possibility given the greed of men,but perhaps not. However what is similar is how quickly the Taliban overran the country after the US withdrew, just like how quickly the Mujahedeen took over afyer the USSR withdrew.

One of the best videos I've seen to explain the historical geopolitics of Afghanistan.
Something about your videos is very captivating. I didn't want it to end!
This is the best discussion of this topic ever produced. Thank you.
The USA only cared about Soviets not getting Afghanistan. So when that threat went away, they had no reason to bother with Afghan people anymore.
To them the war was over, for the radicals it was the beginning to something new. When they started to be a problem that's when they started getting attention.
True. But from this video I realized that it would've taken a lot of bothering to contain the coming Taliban, and they were coming. We're not talking about building some schools and roads here; the necessary commitment was unfeasible without 9/11.
Well considering what Russia did with north korea and vietnam against us cant blame them.
My key takeaway from this: Hurt people hurt people. Such a simple concept yet seemingly so difficult to grasp for governments and insitutions all across the world.
Unless they do psychotherapy and let go of the hurtful things others did to them :)
That's why mental health is such an important thing... It concerns not only mental health but changes the quality of one's behaviour in a challenging situation. :)
@@elektrotehnik94 aka "pain that's not transformed is transmitted". The world is being run by the traumatised, power addiction is a pathology, the most socially costly yet socially ignored of all the forms addiction manifests, people who externalise their internal insecurities, it's never enough, no amount of controlling everything around the problem can address the problem, but they can't stop, there's too much pain in the empty feeling, pain they don't even recognise isn't simply a part of being human, healing is available, but how would they ever know? We haven't figured out that we should tell them, too confused by the "success" of their power attainment to recognise it as a symptom of a pain they don't actually want. Why be kind to a world that shows you no empathy for your pain?
When will people like you realize that some people are simply born evil and that there is no way to change them?
@@Jon-mh9lk Perceiving the world in such stark terms betrays a lazy mind. As the previous speakers have indicated, most if not all phenomena, human or otherwise, can be explained by understanding their causes and conditions.
@@WebVideoTours Yes, they can be understood because every human soul has an evil chamber.
Sadly some people throw around with words like "psychological treatment" when they refuse to except that very evil part of their own soul as what it is.
Humans are not only shaped by their conditions, they also shape their conditions.
The condition of having unlimited sympathy for someone unwilling to change is actually classified as a psychological illness.

@Lord Azreal Lais The wars in the Middle East are driven by the geopolitical interests of the Liberal-Capital world order, which is fundementally at odds with Islam. It has nothing to do with Right-wing Liberals who dislike Muslims in Europe.
Lord Azreal Lais Afghanistan is not in the Middle East. And try another conspiracy theory.
Says a Pakistani lol.
Shirvan supports the continued US occupation of Afghanistan.
What's interesting is that the "toy mine" design was directly copied from the BLU-43/B Dragontooth mines deployed by the U.S. during the Vietnam War.
Thank you for pointing it out. Whole "toy mine" story is just propaganda. Both sides had those mines, and they were initially green because they were originally meant for European battlefield (with lot of green vegetation)
Bizzon666 yes, and bomb’s shape was determined by aerodynamics, not to made it to look like toy
@@janctrnacty1215 Samozřejmě, tvar je daný funkcí. Ale západní propaganda tvrdila že jsou schválně barevné aby lákaly děti, místo pravdy že cokoliv maskované do lesa/pole bude v poušti/horách extrémně nápadné.
@Gaius Wyrden Whole "toy mine" story was a propaganda. They were green color because they were to be used in Europe with lot of vegetation, ans the design itself was copied US design.
Yes, I like Shirvan and his videos, but this toy mine thing is almost certainly Anti-Soviet propaganda (and I am really, really not fond of the Soviet Union). Big blunder on his part.
This is by far your best video, truly heartbreaking.
Really well put together and informative.
My heart cries for Afghanistan. I am Pakistani pashtoon. When I look at sufferings of my brethren i cry out. We pashtoon are being butchered by the world and still we are the buffer zone for them. But we will raise. There is hope and hope of glory!
I have a qustion do you consider ur self as pakistani but with afghan roots because of ur pashtun blood or? I just want to learn more avout pashtuns in pakistan
بلال احمد Well a lot of Afghans rightly dislike the Pakistani government and their intelligence service for committing huge atrocities and housing some terrorists. However, Afghans don’t have an issue with the people at all, just the corrupt and evil government.

Absolutely fantastic analysis.
Good job, this is a very profound assessment!
I lived and worked in the region for almost 11 years (till Feb 2020) and have pretty good insight about the events there. This report was one of the best summaries I've seen about the birth of Taliban. Well done!
I totally agree with,

What a video! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Extremely informative.
While doing my conscription service our instructors told a "cool" story about the Russian infrantry mines used in Afghanistan. Basically the Russians just plowed them all over the place from airplanes and even they didn't exactly know where the mines were. This is not ideal if you have your own men on the ground as well... As a "protective measure", Russian soldiers started using sneakers instead of army boots because this way only your foot flew off if you stepped on a mine and not half of your leg (as military boots are quite high and laced rather tightly, the boot basically tore the whole lower half of the leg with it).
Objective was to destroy the whole urban population of Afghanistan and force people to flee into Soviet controlled urban areas or neighboring countries.
@@arminius6506 right, as the video says
Soviet PFM-1 mine is almost exact copy of american BLU-43 mine. You can check why americans designed BLU-43 in this shape on wikipedia and for what purpose (cause there is not that much information on PFM-1 wikiperdia page).
For shape - "...was designed with a shape that would cause it to spiral down to the ground, removing the need for a parachute. " - nothing to do with kids.
For purpose - "...being preferred by the military because they could be used to deny access to large areas to foot traffic." - nothing to do with destroying whole popultaion.
Their usage in Vietnam war was classified but same mines in Afghanistan claimed USSR absolute evil well done US.
@@netyimeni169 You can use AT mines to destoy 4 story building. You can destoy tanks with granades. It's not the design. It's the ingenuity.
That's a war crime, civilians are the VAST MAJORITY of mine causalities and children are the most effected group..
I was watching the development of the Taliban situation in the late 1990s. My wall was covered in newspaper clippings. I kept wondering why nobody was doing anything. I was in high school then. 1994-2000.
It all caught up with us.
That's interesting. What got you into that?
Did you also have newspaper clippings about Saudi Arabia denying all sorts of rights to women (including the right to vote)?
Did you keep wondering why NATO members sold (and still sell) weapons, warships, fighter jets, etc. to the Saudi regime?
It's funny how the utterly corrupt and two faced western governments make a big fuss about the Talibans and "terrorism", while letting the Saudis get away with murder (literally) 🤦♂️
What about Israel? Another can of worms, right there.
The Talibans don't worry me half as much as Saudi Arabia and Israel, tbh.
@@MrThe1And0nly - Naivety and the mistaken belief that I could one day change the world.
Incredible detail brother!
The kite runner movie gave me insight into Afghanistan before the war. It looked so beautiful and pristine, Kabul looking almost like a holy city. What a sad turn of events.
Hate to be the book guy, but the book it's based off of is great. I would highly recommend it.
Congratulations! This was a gripping video, and I learned a lot that I knew nothing about!

Amazingly informative video. Great content. Thank You.
This is one of the most interesting RUclips channels. Shirvan is very educated and always has a balanced opinion. Thank you for the hard work
It's 'Shirvan'
Thank you. This was extraordinarily helpful.
Great info, thank you!
As always, just great content! Thanks Shirvan!
This was incredibly informative. I knew that the ISI had its hand in the Afghan affairs of the 90’s, but I didn’t understand the origins of the Taliban or even what the word meant. People say that the US never learns, but I think maybe nobody ever learns: The ISI helped to create this movement and it’s fighters, then are surprised to find that those righteous guns might be trained on them.
ISI played itself, now even their rank and file is radicalized. There is no gracious exit now for anyone, no gentle way to calm down.
Pakistan did some pretty evil stuff, to the Hindus on its territory, then a full on genocide in Bangladesh topped with killing all educated people they could find - doctors, teachers, etc. And *then* they decided to go full on Islamism and export extremism abroad.
I don't see how it end well for anyone involved in the next 50 years.

Great video and narration..didn't want it to end
"More extreme than the next until extremism became the new normal" kinda seems like America is repeating it at a slower rate.
Great Video as always, but I as I student of arabic I have to tell you one thing for the future. The word for student in arabic is Talib, but when you add suffix "an" it becomes two students (arabic use a special dual form, if you want them plural its Tullab then) but in for example persian the suffix "an" is used to make a plural form. Just keep that in mind for future and keep going with your videos I love them :D
Correct...Arabic plural would be Tulab
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
