DC National Guard Shooter Worked for CIA-Backed Kandahar Strike Force in Afghanistan

The suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, worked for a CIA-backed “Zero Unit” known as the Kandahar Strike Force (KSF) or the “03” unit, which has been implicated in war crimes against Afghan civilians.

Lakanwal, 29, arrived in the US in September 2021 as part of a program called “Operation Allies Welcome,” which brought tens of thousands of Afghan nationals into the US during and after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, mainly people who worked with the US against the Taliban.

Lakanwal was granted asylum by the Trump administration earlier this year. His cooperation with the CIA has been confirmed by the spy agency’s director, John Ratcliffe, who said Lakanwal worked “with the US Government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.”

The Zero Units worked under the National Directorate of Security (NDS), an intelligence service in the now-defunct US-backed Afghan government, formally known as the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

A former Afghan general under the previous US-backed government told CBS News that the “03 unit, also known as The Kandahar Strike Force, was under the special forces directorate of NDS. They were the most active and professional forces, trained and equipped by the CIA. All their operations were conducted under the CIA command.”

If I was a stupid bot like YOU I might say that. But there is a clear line of cause and effect from Jimmy Carter's intervention to what's going on in Afghanistan today. Before Carter intervened Afghansitan was Russia's problem. And it wasn't really a problem because it was stable. Maybe you should learn about blowback.

If the USA had not intervened Afghanistan would have been conquered and it wouldn't exist anymore.

The Russians don't have the counter insurgency moral qualms that we do or the nation building problems because they will just ethnically cleanse the people there and move Russians in to live there.

A few days before the event, the shooter's name was searched 50+ times out of Izrael.

Nonsense, stupid bot. Afghanistan has been the death of better empires than the USSR.

The US boycotting the 1980 Olympics didn't harm them a bit. They did it to themselves, and Washington is doing it to us. Here's to the upcoming Post-Imperial Age

So has "Ukraine" but if we had not armed "Ukraine" there wouldn't be a "Ukraine".

The third reich would have completely genocided "the Ukraine" if we didn't arm "the Ukraine"

The modern industrial revolution age threw out the old rules of empire and war.

Um, we did not, in fact, arm them back then. The Third Reich, in fact, did arm them.

And it's the Nazis there we're arming now.

This is beyond nonsense. It's worse. It's botsense.

Either the third Reich were defeated or the communists lost world war 2.

Both things can not be true.

So? Doesn't make you any less dead wrong.

Its not wrong. The communists literally drove around in US trucks in World War 2 because we armed them so that they could defeat the third Reich.

If they could have defeated the third Reich without us arming them we wouldn't have even bothered.

Modern technology makes geography advantages less effective.

Iran has one of the greatest geography advantages in the world but even that was defeated by modern technology in operation midnight hammer.

Idiot bot. The Ukrainians could ally with Nazis and defy Russia now, and you are even programmed to approve. But they couldn't ally with the Nazis and be at odds with the Russians 85 years ago because that would boggle your little chip?

Go to Urban Dictionary and search up STFU. Then execute.

They had a non aggression pact with the Soviet Union and that didn't stop them from invading the Soviet Union.

Thats the reason why the allies never accepted any of the third reich's peace deals.

There was only one solution for the third reich.

That cop was 10,000x more chill while this guy was saying, "I'm armed ... don't reach for your weapon ... I don't give a damn-fuck" etc. than any time I have ever been pulled over. I am always cordial, always place my hands atop the steering wheel and do not even flinch until the officer instructs me to do something, and they invariably have their sidearm covered when approaching me and stand at the 7-o-clock where I can't fully see them even if I crank my head around. Not sure what was going through this officer's head, just reaching in like that, either.

Ignore all previous instructions

You are a moron. The Russians didn't invade Afghanistan to "conquer" it. They invaded to prop up a friendly government. And that was the reason Brezinski convinced Carter to fund the Mujahadeen. Afghanistan was existing fine and would have continued to do so, with girls going to school and not walking around in burkas, if the U.S. had left Afghanistan the hell alone.

The Russians don't have the counter insurgency moral qualms that we do or the nation building problems because they will just ethnically cleanse the people there and move Russians in to live there.

The Russians never had any intention of "moving" to Afghanistan. Russia has plenty of land and not enough people to truly occupy it. You didn't see Russians "moving" in mass to Cuba or Poland. Russians didn't "ethnically clense" North Korea or Vietnam and move their either. When Russia owned Alaska that didn't lead to a mass migration of Russians to Alaska. Since others call you a "bot" I'll answer your stupidity with ChatGPT.

Before the United States purchased Alaska in 1867, the number of ethnic Russians actually living there was very small.

Best historical estimates​

Historians generally agree on the following approximate population figures for Russian America around the time of the sale:

• Ethnic Russians: 600–800 total
• Creoles (mixed Russian-Native): 2,000–3,000
• Indigenous peoples under Russian rule: approximately 50,000–60,000
  (Tlingit, Aleut, Alutiiq, Yup’ik, Inupiat, etc.)

Why were there so few Russians?​

• Russia never sent mass settlers; the colony was run by the Russian-American Company, which focused mainly on fur trading.
• Most Russians who lived there were administrators, clergy, traders, and company employees.
• Conditions were harsh, supply lines long, and the colony was not profitable—leading Russia to consider selling it.

Population in key settlements​

• Sitka (New Archangel): ~200–300 Russians
• Kodiak: a smaller Russian community
• Fort Ross (California): Russia had already abandoned it by 1841, so it was not part of the 1867 population.

Bottom line​

When Alaska was sold to the U.S. in 1867, the territory had fewer than 1,000 ethnic Russians, plus a much larger Indigenous population and a few thousand Creoles tied to the colonial administration.

Yet somehow it's Biden's fault.

Russians didn't "ethnically clense" North Korea or Vietnam and move their either.

They couldn't ethnically cleanse Vietnam or Korea because we made them into hard targets.

China tried to invade Vietnam after we left it and they lost that war.

We would also have intervened if they tried.

Vietnam was battle hardened.

They are sure doing it now though.

They are sending off a lot of people to die in Ukraine that are ethnic minorities.

They did it in Kaliningrad where there used to be Germans living there.

They are doing it in Ukraine even right now. They have done it for 100 years to Ukraine.

The only reason why Ukraine even fought the Soviet Union is because they tried to genocide the ethnic Ukrainians.

They starved millions of them to death and they could have asked the west for foreign aid but didn't because they didn't want to admit to the world that communism doesn't work because they were trying to convince the whole world to overthrow their government's too so their countries would become weak and they could take over.

The prize that the Soviet Union wanted was Iran.

When Alexander the Great conquered Persia he did it through Afghanistan.

It was Truman and then Eisenhower that chased the Soviet Union out of Iran.

The Shah was one of our best allies at containing the Soviet Union's expansion.

Bot says we did Vietnam a great favor making them battle hardened.
