It's funny that the stuff we abandoned there is getting used to kill Iranians, but perhaps a bit shortsighted.  Will the Taliban be able to buy ammo for those guns?

[MillerEP 30905]

This is a plot twist, even I didn't see coming.

Someone refresh my memory. Wasn't Iran one of the main countries that was propping up the Taliban along with Pakistan?

Iran supplied weapons to the Taliban. They also quickly normalized relations with them after the fall of Afghanistan's western backed government.

[Parliament 14594]

They helped the Taliban because the Taliban hated us.  Now with us gone, they don't like them anymore.

[MissingInAction 25556]

Shia Muslims and sunni Muslims get along about as well us and sooner.

The hate is real only with more killing.

[InkaUtexas 26869]

We did a chemical test on the last IED that got my team. Iranian made explosives. 

Iran supported to fuck us up and Afghans in Iran were free labor. 

Talibs have a lot of assets in Iran. Iran not so many. Put my 3.50 on the Afghans in a border war. 

And no, Iran did not support Pakistan as much as was reported. Shia and Sunni is some real shit.

Looks like all that kit we left behind is being put to good use! We secretly arming them again?

Iran wants to escalate attacks against us?  That’s one way to see us start actively helping the uprising still going on, as well as taking out factories or stockpiles.

Iran almost took out the Taliban in the late 90s before they became a problem.  The Taliban kidnapped and beheaded 4 Iranian missionaries in Afghanistan.  Iran put 100,000 troops on the border and was ready to go in until some backdoor deal was made.  There is no love lost between the two groups

What if what that guys says is a superposition of 50% saying "quantum" and 50% times square root of -1 saying "muledick"???

Iran must have some incredible actors. I could not stop laughing at their technological marvels they reveal. That fiberglass engineless stealth fighter still gets a chuckle out of me.

Iran moving to tangle with Israel and the US a little more?

 

[elfenix 34749]

The Sevilles, once assembled in Iran, represented the height of luxury in the country just before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. General Motors had partnered with an Iranian firm to build the sedans, selling them for two-and-a-half times the price in America at the zenith of the country’s oil wealth.

 

Today, Khosro Dahaghin’s passion for restoring the cars means he carefully examines each frame, component and stitch of the Sevilles in Iran, a challenge that’s only grown as parts become scarce, the vehicles get older and as the country faces U.S. sanctions over its nuclear program.

 

“The most luxurious and the most special car that was assembled in Iran was Cadillac Iran,” Dahaghin told The Associated Press as he wore a necklace bearing the iconic Cadillac crest. “The first time this car was assembled outside U.S soil was in Iran. At that time I can say no other brand could rival this car in any aspect imaginable.”

God bless the gear heads.  You should post this in the Classic Cars thread.
