Taliban officials have begun confiscating civilian weapons, claiming civilians no longer need to defend themselves because they will instead keep the people safe.

Is it wrong to say that this may be the up-side to this disaster?

yes the only news should be from official sanctioned sources. you’re an old man living in another generation. news bloggers is the ONLY way we are getting any right of center information, considering most of big techs owns all communication and platforms and censors the right.

While the confiscation of civilian weapons is bad, this treatment of journos ... I’m not saying they should hunt them down, but I understand. All that said, I’m not taking much of anything at face value. What are the Taliban doing, putting political dissidents in solitary confinement? Making people cover their faces? Mutilating children’s genitals?
