As a result of a missile strike on a base in Iraq, the contingent of the USA and Britain suffered

The next missile strike was inflicted on a US military base in Iraq. It is reported that as a result of this strike, the contingent of the base suffered losses. According to recent reports, three soldiers were killed at the base of Taji.

There is no official data on their citizenship, however, the Middle East media say that we are talking about the deaths of two American and one British troops.

It is noted that in total the territory of a military facility in Iraq was fired using 18 missiles. This is the largest attack on US military bases in Iraq in recent times. In addition, for the first time since the beginning of the year, a missile strike led to the death of the US military. Previously, the Pentagon reported injured and concussion (in previous shelling).

The Iraqi military said several missiles were fired from a rocket launcher in the back of a truck. According to some reports, this truck has already been discovered. The strikers managed to escape.

In Washington, they accused Al-Hashd al-Shaabi of the Shiite armed forces in the strike. After the incident at the Taji base, American aircraft attacked al-Shaabi facilities on the border between Iraq and Syria.

Recall that representatives of the Shiite militia previously promised the United States to avenge the liquidation of one of its leaders. He was killed along with Iranian General Suleymani on January 3 in Baghdad.

This is all American society. In order to get some nishtyak (in their opinion), you need to do something nasty. For example, to kill a couple of hundreds of people on the other side of the planet who essentially did nothing to you. But then the green cards and the proud title of American. It doesn’t matter for them that for this they did what they were serial killers. And then these newly minted Americans, merging into the society of these cephalopods, begin to broadcast about tolerance, LGBT, and so on.

Corrected someone's minus to you - well, how to say the last war against the army, which can be called such, i.e. Iraqi, it was they who led. 2003. After them - in 2008, the Russian Armed Forces with the Georgian - but the Georgians were ten times smaller than the Iraqis. Before them - Britons with Argentines and Jews with Syrians in the 82nd. All other wars were waged with Mujahideen of one or another affiliation - that is, a handful of pros in the guerilla who gathered around them a civil militia who had undergone some basic training.

[novel66]

how were they? at the slightest difficulty, call in everything, including strategic bombers, and this photo with crying "cats" - no words ..

And should they go hand-to-hand to machine guns? In addition, there were sandstorms during which the aircraft did not work and they with difficulty, but taxied the situation in their favor with relatively small losses.

but how would our paratroopers keep their height ??

[Krasnodar]

They had a lot of servicemen laying down on a grenade to save their comrades, so I think so. And their greater organization in the interaction of various arms is a plus, not a minus. In Fallujah, the Americans had hand-to-hand fighting - people just moving away from the adrenaline noticed cut wounds and bites - everything, like people, is shorter

For so many years, the United States has been helping to build democracy in the Middle East, and things are still there. I remember at the beginning some people were not shy about broadcasting to the media saying that America would achieve its goal and, as an example, brought Japan. It’s like smart people, the same Bovin but they got into a puddle with their forecasts. Still, comparing Japan and Middle Eastern countries is incorrect, different culture, different history, different peoples, religion, and to believe that the same thing happens is simply naive.

Quote: Crimean partisan 1974

There uranium ...... oops. and where? or rather, in what grief ??? and red faces are not a sign of uranium,

This only proves my diagnosis. You are hopelessly ill. I feel sorry for you...
But who cares - I will answer. In the Afghan province of Herat in a salt mine, traces of uranium and lithium have been discovered. The estimated cost of minerals in Afghanistan today is estimated at $ 3 trillion. There are several emerald deposits in the Panjshir Gorge. Afghan emerald deposits are even superior to the famous mines of Colombia both in reserves and in the quality of stones. One of the most important discoveries was the Aynak copper deposit. Only proven reserves there are more than eleven million tons. Ainak is the fifth in the world and the largest field of this kind in Eurasia. For its development, you can use a cheap open method, and it is located only forty kilometers from Kabul. One of the most significant discoveries was the so-called pegmatite fields, explored east of Kabul, where real treasures were discovered in tens and hundreds of kilometers of veins. These veins turned out to be the richest source of rare metals: beryllium, thorium, lithium, tantalum, niobium. This is an expensive strategically important raw material; without it, modern aircraft and rocket science are impossible. According to Pilipenko, Afghanistan has overturned traditional ideas about such deposits, the world has never known anything like it before. Based on data from Soviet geologists, the US Geological Survey has been exploring Afghan subsoil since 2004. According to her, Afghans live in one of the richest mineral deposits in the world. The Americans conducted magnetic and gravitational studies. Magnetic studies have shown that in Afghanistan at a depth of 10 km there are colossal deposits of iron-containing minerals. In addition, deposits of rare-earth metals were discovered - they were estimated at 1,4 million tons. Gravity studies have shown that the country has significant reserves of oil and gas. One of the most valuable metals that has been discovered underground in Afghanistan is praseodymium. This metal is used in the manufacture of special glasses and to improve the properties of certain alloys.

But people who are limited in their horizons and watch TV (especially partisans) know about Afghanistan only about the opium poppy.

And nobody seriously grabbed Afghanistan. Want to capture Afghanistan, then the recipe is simple. Stop humanitarian aid in the form of finance, food, medicine. Control the perimeter and everything, after a couple of years, come in and you will be greeted with flowers by the remains of white and fluffy natives.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Control the perimeter and that's it, come in a couple of years ......... it won’t work out, the tea house has been swarming since our limited contingent, you can’t swear, in short a full hindikush

[Sardanapalus]

It will work very well. Look, now NATO and Americans. Now, if one of these soldiers went into any house, raped, killed the whole family ... Who would have stopped him? Nobody! All the resistance in the mountains. If they put gas chambers and began to exterminate the Afghans, could they resist it? No! Let them pray to their alah that the rest of humanity is liberal and tolerant otherwise they would be wiped off the face of the earth and given a sterile territory. So no "occupants" go there to build roads, tunnels, factories, treat their children and prevent them from starving to death.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Look, now the NATO and the Americans ......... there will be no Naty and striped then there will be Syaopins, and what’s more, they’ve been incognito there for a long time, the main factor is opium, and at the moment Afghanistan is an opium eldorado, all kinds of Latin scroppers and gold indochina triangles is a miserable gateway trader compared to afghan so teahouse is very beneficial to control afghan macho

Why mislead people and spread the myth?
Conquered. More than once invaders with fire and sword passed through this unfortunate land, yes, there was resistance, but it was crushed. If even the invaders were driven out by local residents, but this is not the case in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, really few people lingered on themselves. And no, warlike mountain princes have nothing to do with it. Another question is what to do there. Why keep the military contingent on empty land, where there is literally nothing to pick up? Only the strategic position of Afghanistan made it a cherished goal for many.
To end this topic once and for all:
The Persian power of the Achaemenids was able to subdue in a fairly short time the most powerful empires of the East, came to India. So, scattered mountain princes were a small problem for her. Many of them sat in mountain citadels and while sitting silently did not touch them. But, truth be told, it did not last long. No, the Highlanders did not throw the invaders from their lands, just Alexander the Great conquered Persia. For him, hill tribes were a hindrance, they prevented a quiet passage to India and, being in the rear, could cause quite a few problems. What did Alexander do? Significantly conquered several fortresses, saving them from the defenders. Later hill tribes more willingly made contact. The following rulers of Afghanistan did not conquer him, but inherit from Alexander. The Seleucids could rightfully be proud of themselves; they seized from the empire of Alexander the longest territories, including Afghanistan. But everything became not so clear again, Afghanistan again ... conquered. But not even among local tribes, but among the Seleucids themselves. In their place came the semi-Greek kingdom in the East - Bactria. Then everything went, as they say, from hand to hand. First, the Parthian kingdom, which arose from a mixture of Scythians and Eastern peoples, captured Afghanistan from Bactria, then the Sassanid empire, in fact the heir to Persia, recaptured these territories, and there was no particular resistance. If the mountain ruler began to become impudent and rob caravans, attack trade routes, in general - rob, he was quickly dealt with.
Then the Arabs came. In the Middle Ages, Genghis Khan came here. For many years the "invincible" power fell into the Mongol ulus. In the XNUMXth century, Babur, the ruler of the Timurid empire, came, moved his capital to Kabul, from there he ruled until he went to war in India. Afghanistan again passed into the hands of the Persians, the Safavid Empire. They ruled there for almost two hundred years, until the state itself began to disintegrate into small states. Afghanistan for the first time in its history has become united.
Then there were two Anglo-Afghan wars of 1878-1880, which also ended sadly for Afghanistan and led to the loss of independence right up to 1919.
Fu, like that.

And what has Afghanistan achieved by giving a "rebuff" (that's exactly the "rebuff" ... the whole point of which men fled to the mountains, leaving families at the mercy of the occupiers, the occupants did not touch the families, but fed and treated, which caused laughter in the ranks of those who fled. if they got to the families of the invaders, they would have frolic there).
