Afghanistan dabbler. Culture Wars vet. 1st Anglo-Afghan War re-enactor. Luxuriating in the purity of my irrelevance. Linked article both dated and timeless.

@ahmadfsamin No, the police did not control every corner. It was not necessary. In the countryside, the police mainly were based at the woluswalis. They rarely ventured away from there. They lacked the resources, training, or necessity to do anything else.

@HalimaKazem It's not a mission. It's a constuient post. That's a big difference.

[David J. Katz @djkatz]

@HalimaKazem Staff safety is a bullshit excuse. Safety has been managed there for decades.

@drewmikkelsenk5 Poorly written. No mention of the height of their respective records.

[David J. Katz @djkatz]

@colkawusi Incentives to accomplish that?

@NotHoodlum If there's a God . . . .

@airBaltic Professionalism, care, and dedication. How about some personality and character? On my many airBaltic flights, I have never seen a single cabin crew member go above and beyond which would make them and the travel experience memorable. They do nothing to make airBaltic special.

@roddreher Normal gas prices are far higher in Europe, then they've ever reached in California. Average Europeans don't buy stupid gas guzzlers.

@CasseCool Crazy! There wasn't even a paved road in Kabul until the 1950s. AI slop is too kind of a description for this nonsense.

@roddreher @AmericanAir Hungary's gain is our loss. Rod, what's wrong with Slovkia or Serbia?

[David J. Katz @djkatz]

@OJoelsen Regrettably, that is found in every diplomatic and consular building worldwide.

[David J. Katz @djkatz]

@HooleRob @OJoelsen Dig deeper. The Ugly American was the good guy. Read the book.

@soldierspeaks This is fanciful nonsense. How is it "officially connected"? AF is connected to China by existing railroad lines as has been proven.

Spotted walking through New York, this legendary actor appears noticeably frail at 87 years old 😢📸 Once celebrated for his charisma, strength, and iconic film roles, fans are struck by how much time has changed even one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars 🌟.Recognize him? 👀

@ahmadfsamin Sadly, not so much masterpieces of maintenance.

Today, Suzanne and I hosted the annual dinner for the diplomatic corps in Helsinki.

I’m delighted to carry on this fine tradition as President. Over 100 countries were represented at the Presidential palace this evening.

@PashtoAi Not unparalleled. For centuries, Afghans of different faiths lived side by side without tension. With the departure of its Jews, and nearly all of its Sikhs, the loss to the Afghan nation is far more grievous than the numbers alone suggest.

[David J. Katz @djkatz]

@ahmadfsamin No different from today, although traffic is now heavier.

@cyborg_reborn Excellent source on Afghan census https://t.co/glhBn642Ff

[David J. Katz @djkatz]

@cyborg_reborn Excellent discussion. During the Islamic Republic, since a census couldn't be conducted, Socio-Demographic and Economic Surveys were to be done for each province. These too proved controversial. Protests were so strong that the effort was abandoned.
