I just have one favor to ask. Please sign this petition and share with everyone you know, including your local politicians. www.change.org/shawnryanshow
Shawn are you going to give your thoughts on the attempted trump assassination and the negligence shown by his protection detail or a perspective from your pov on how protection should or does work, great show buddy
I went to see a psychiatrist.. This lady said something to the degree of there’s 40,000 nerve endings in the brain and 100,000 in the heart.. “This is Going to be Heart felt.”” I think that applies here as well
FACTS. Shawn you have done an incredible job bro. You ,Rogan ,Tucker and PBD are the only “news” I watch. You are bringing so much truth to millions of people and I have nothing but RESPECT for you brother.
As a fellow pissed off Afghan vet, I am so happy you made this interview happen Shawn. What a great experience for you to get to meet this man carrying on his father's legacy. And especially telling him for us that our hearts are still there. Thank you.
Lol legacy? Massoud was secret soviet spy. Soviet generals themselves have said it. He didnt defend panjshir, rather he had secret negotiations with the russians to not attack or take panjshir. Ahmad massoud is a vile sellout figure of afghanistan. All his people are looters and stole from the country. But dont believe me, go look it up.
As a widow to LTJG, Francis “Frankie” L. Toner IV, KIA 3/27/2009, US Navy, Mazar i sharif, hearing you apologize directly to Cmdr Ahmad Massoud about the withdrawal made me cry. It was so terribly done and disrespectful for those who gave their all on both sides. Amazing interview ❤ petition signed and donated $46 (Frankie’s sport jersey #)
One of the most stunning comments was said right after the Commander started talking. He said I understand that the United States policies have nothing to do with the will of the people. That is where we are. And he is 1000% correct
Legend for the apology. From one TN boy to another, you nailed it with the “that was not representative of the majority of the American people.” Thank you sir
Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is called TREASON. This government has completely 100% lost the moral authority to govern and in my view, is no longer legitimate.
I had been a translator for the U.S. army for 5 years in Afghanistan. Your leadership had no other option. These people (the U.S. backed democratic government) proved to be the most corrupt human beings the country had ever seen. However, replacing them with the Taliban was the U.S.'s mistake that you should feel deeply sorry for.
Don’t be so dramatic lads. Don’t apologise. Your government did not abandoned. US and NATO lost a war after 20 long years. This little goats son ahmad masoods father killed over 70k people in Kabul after the soviets were kicked out. Shawn Ryan did not do a background check on this person. Just listening to his bullshit and makes you guys believe him blindfolded.
“I didn’t need to seek permission to fight, they came for me and my family, and tried to take my land…” “… that freedom is worth dying for.” This man is more American than a lot of “Americans”.
Yes, you should also remember Trump's negotiating at Doha... the same Doha Mr. Massoud spoke of. Get your partisan crap out of here, both parties are to blame for the Afghanistan debacle.
@bonsaiminarai7449 I agree when he said I could not flee my country because I told my people about freedom I almost cried Ronald Reagan once said some would rather live on their knees than die on their feet and therein lies the road to war.
It was literally trump who initiated the afghan withdrawal lol as bad as it was actually leaving Trump is the sole proprietor of the negotiations to leave but FJB anyway the whole Establishment is BS 😂
@@bonsaiminarai7449 Oh yah LOL America is conquered land as is Israel soooo if the natives started “fighting” for their land would they not need permission as well JUUUST like the brave Palestinians fighting tooth and nail for their land?! This world is all the way Fd up 😅
Shawn, whether or not you read/see this; as a first generation American-Afghan, it’s truly heartwarming and a relief to see this interview take place. I’ve never commented on any video before but am proud to make this one as it’s one that brought tears. Afghanistan and its people are unlike any, esp. compared to its neighbors. As a long time listener, it’s so gratifying to witness the support of fellow Americans to understanding the true nature/spirit of the Afghan people. The pain the diaspora felt in August 2021, was a pain of the heart. The pain of knowing you were lucky to have made it out, only to see the children who weren’t fortunate enough, suffer is one of the gut wrenching feelings of helplessness. Hearing Cmdr. Ahmad Massoud describe the pain of the people in country, was head on. Thank you Shawn, for sharing our story, caring to understand, and for listening. Afghanistan and Afghans are wildly misunderstood. Thank you for giving a glimpse inside the hearts of a world that exists only in the memory our parents know, that of a country that once was. I just hope everyone who watches this sees the same. God bless
As a female veteran having also served as a contractor in Afghanistan in 2010, the Commander saying we have nothing to apologize for brought me to tears. I signed and donated to the petition. We need the truth and to make amends for the wrongs our government committed against Massoud and his followers.
You have all of my respect, ma'am Thank you for your service, even if the people who employed you weren't always the best of people. As an American Citizen, and son of a veteran, I only hope to be of more service to our vets, bring more awareness to Shawn's podcast, and do more of my part in general in standing against evil, spreading the truth, and being a good American Patriot.
it must be one fuck of a feeling to wake up one morning and realize your little RU-vid show has turned into one of the only pillars of Truth left .. all of this has been amazing thank you so much for doing what you do and God bless and get behind those good people of Afghanistan
Just a few minutes in and the Commander might be one of the most well spoken, eloquent guests I’ve seen interviewed. In general not just on the SRS. This man is more diplomatic than our countries own emissaries and politicians
As an Afghan from Panjsher, having a father who fought against the russians in those same mountains. Having seen the same fate and history repeat itself on our beautiful country and people is beyond heartbreaking, i ugly cried throughout this whole interview..
The American idea of freedom came from the Founding Fathers of the USA. Who also believed that America should not get intangled in foriegn disputes. Trade with all. Alliances with none.
I am from South Africa and hearing him say that he knows the policies of the government does not represent the will of the people...I felt that. Our own government has fallen in with other shady countries. I pray for Afghanistan and it's freedom. Evil will never win!❤❤🇿🇦
As a firefighter from New England, knowing many who paid the ultimate price both on that day and after, how DARE the United States government fail us like this again. Their behavior is disgraceful. Paying our enemy. Paying those who caused the deaths of 343 of my brother and sister Firefighters on that day, the hundreds more who died in the years since of illnesses related to that day, the 49 Port Authority Police Officers, and of the 2,977 innocent civilians, and the thousands of military members who gave their lives. Ignoring this warning will cost more than we can afford to pay. As patriotic Americans, we must put a stop to this. Thank you, Shawn, for bringing this warning to light. Thank you also to Commander Massoud, for your continued efforts to warn us. I am sorry, that our government has failed you.
I hate to break it to you but our government failed us the day off. Look up architects for 9/11 truth or any such site. Also highly recommend James Corbett's work. There are deeper powers at work who have kept us in wars since WW II and Korea (or maybe longer).
“Ignored the warning” haha they funded and allowed the buildings to be loaded down with thermite. Then they “pulled” them. Then they hid all the evidence. It’s far far more than just disgraceful. It’s premeditated treason
what the western governments are doing is called "Jizya." It's a tax levied on non-muslims in order to MAAAYBE guarantee some peace. My method is considered a human rights violation but I'm not in charge so we all have to suffer with weak and feckless people running and ruining our society.
Your words resonate w me as I’m a New Englander. I remember that day like yesterday. I worked w a woman whose mother in law was on the first plane going from Boston to lax. 9/11 took so many lives in a very short period of time and the patriotism was palpable throughout the country. Unfortunately the current generation has zero to no recollection of that day and the patriotism for our country and first responders has waned. I’m sad for the United States as we have headed down a very dark path.
I signed the petition, and chipped in $2. It’s not much , but it’s all I can afford. thank you, Shawn , & the countless men and women who have served our country, and have given so much of their youth so that I can live in safety and comfort. I’m forever grateful. Respect, 1st generation immigrant
I would like to say thank you Shawn for having the courage to do this interview. I'm a Marine vet and worked alongside the Afghan military and had some great Afghan interpreters who I became brothers with who were left behind. Afghanistan is a beautiful country with a lot of really good people who just want to live in peace like everyone else. A big salute to you sir and thank you for your service.
The fact He took this interview Shows us and reaffirms Shawn that he is making an impact. As well as becoming and arrivied as a true Journalist that has a pulse on the climate. Thank you Shawn for being our voice in that chair.
He got 😭 me at "I love Freedom" As a American, we take Freedom for granted. Heartbreaking💔 knowing & hearing the real truth of what happened to his people & his country!😢
You only take what you perceive is freedom because in reality we aren't as free as we assumed to be.....!! Our government has been in control for the past 6oyrs and they only allow us the illusion of freedom....!! Think about all the thing's you truly can't do and then ask yourself if Americans are truly free....!! Sure we have it better than a lot of other countries, on the other hand there's a lot that have it better than we do....!!
@shawnryanshow Im an Air Force Veteran, that joined the military 4 days after 9/11, and served after 9/11 supporting missions in Afghanistan. The way you opened up this interview, brought tears to my eyes. You are speaking for so many of us, and i just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for you. 🙏
Agreed and to add honestly speaking as an Italian my people are extremely passionate and sincere when speaking with others. I’ve never seen a people more passionate and sincere when just having very basic communication. Even them saying hello day to day is equivalent to only seeing in the western world when a man asks a woman to marry him
The coolest greeting and hand shake I’ve ever seen to this day is when afghan men see other men they adore. They do the basic handshake and then they both place their hands on each others hearts standing face to face talking to each other
Shawn you're doing gods work thank you brother. Thank you to your guest for fighting for innocent peoples and thank you to your staff for facilitating the BEST show on RU-vid.
I am not a Veteran but I am a Patriot. Cmdr. Massoud is SO gracious! When he said the US had nothing to apologize for, I was screaming at the screen, “Yes we do!!”. The withdrawal from Afghanistan gave me flashbacks of our withdrawal from Vietnam. I was just a child when this occurred, but it made an indelible mark on my mind & heart. Cmdr. Massoud, I sincerely apologize for our country leaving our Allies in Afghanistan. @ShawnRyan I signed the petition. I am appalled our country is trying to bury the truth of our withdrawal from Afghanistan! This man is not a Terrorist! He should be welcomed on US soil!! God Bless you Cmdr. Massoud & the people of the NRF!!
Your'e a true patriot @cajuncraftysue. We need your support now more than ever. Thank you for standing with the truth! Thank you for standing with us! ❤
No we don't. American service members didn't abandon anybody, brandon did. American service members don't make policies, P.O.S. politicians do. What did you want them to do.....stay? Well you're in luck because a lot did, and went back. I'm not a Veteran either and I'm also a Patriot. I think we need to put the blame where it belongs, right in brandon's lap. American service members do not own an apology to the Afghan people, brandon does. But the sentiment of wanting to take that responsibility shows the honor and character of Men like Shawn. He is the kind of American that makes me truly proud to be American. I just don't think that we owe an apology, that P.O.S. brandon does. A little side note that kinda just popped in my head, I can just imagine what those offspring of the devil terrorists are saying to all the other terrorists in the making..."look we made the Americans apologize". I'm not taking about the Commander. I'm taking about taliban and isis and alqueda
Hi Shawn. I signed the petition and donated $50. As a former combat corpsman I appreciate and applaud what you’re doing. I wish more people watching this would take it to heart and contribute.
Alternative media have been telling this truth for years It is great that Shawn is sharing this - there are more - but you may not find the channels on this platform
He gets more and into the Doha deal with interviews from Sarah Adams “Superbad” and “legend” on what it is and where the money goes. It’s hard to listen to.
I was thinking the same thing, too. Here's what I wrote to someone else: "30:42 -- Wait a minute. I had to listen to this part again to make sure I heard this right. So let me get this straight ..... $40M to $80M going to the Afghanistan region. Another $4B (or possibly even more) going to Ukraine. On top of that I think I've heard from elsewhere that some (unconfirmed), undisclosed sum of money is going to one of the African continent Nations, too 😠. All of this 💵 going out of the U.S. border and U.S. coffers. No receipts. No show for exactly WHAT that 💸 is B N used 4. No agreement in place to get any of that largent, back. Am I hearing that correctly? Well hell..... No wonder everybody comes to us looking for $$. Everybody knows that we're probably the only country on the planet that's gullible (or dumb) enough to just give out FREE money..... hand over fist. Over and above the interests of our own citizens. God, Shawn. That had to hurt sitting there hearing that😢😢. It pains me for you just to hear it for myself. I hope he understands that all this money that's ( 💸 ) free flowing out of U.S. hands is NOT information that was shared with the American people. We were never told about any of this ahead of time nor, were we in general ever briefed about the financial arrangements of these deals. 🎶 "Is anybody there. Does anybody, care" 🎶. Meanwhile.....we allow homelessness, hunger, high prices, and 'food deserts' to appear. Not to mention crime, social problems in schools to proliferate. Here in this country we've watched churches / religion, education, and almost suffered the collapse of our own gov't. Yet, we are willing to pay out the 'wazoo' to buoy and prop up other nations that won't B able to pay us back until the '12th of Never'. Tell me I'm wrong 😢".
This Man speaks of FREEDOM while we abandoned him and his people,, yet speaks of FREEDOM as an American would.. there's more things that unite us then divide us.. I'm disgusted with what we did to Afghanistan. Freedom is something that is God given, I see it in this man's essence.. while we give ours away and squander it away.. how precious it really is!? .. long live FREEDOM, long live America and God help this Man
Makes u wonder why Trump negotiated the fate of Afghanistan with the enemy w/o including the Afghan govt we sacrificed so much to create. Makes u wonder why Trump CUT US forced to 2500 troops WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY RELEASING 5000 TALIBAN SOLDIERS! Trump surrendered to the EXACT ppl who had killed so many US troops. He LITERALLY handed the entire country of Afghanistan to the very enemy our boys sacrificed so much fighting against. It was DT that set the unrealistic withdraw date that Biden was forced to abide by. It was Republican senators that would not confirm a defense Secretary to help facilitate such a monumental task as a complete withdraw. Biden put the blame on HIMSELF publicly without even MENTIONING trump bc he not a coward & knows what honor is. Imagine trump NOT blaming anything & everything BUT himself if he was handed a shit sandwich & forced to eat it with his hands tied behind his back. If ur not familiar with the details I’ve mentioned, PLEASE do some research as I promise u it’s all easily verifiable. The withdraw was HORRIBLE & shameful but it WAS facilitated & negotiated by Trump. HE is the ONLY one responsible for surrendering a decades long war effort to the enemies we fought the war against. BE VERY CLEAR ABT THAT!💯
SIGNED. Without hesitation!! We need to share this message/interview with as many people as possible. Enough is enough! Fed up with the lies and misinformation. Hats off to you Shawn for using your platform for spreading truth and having guests like this young man who cares so much about his country & people. I think many of us have been in the dark far too long. Sharing this with my corner of the world. Many blessings to Commander “M” and you as well ❤
I literally screamed “MY MONEY HAS BEEN GOING TO WHO?!?!” when you started discussing how the US is actively sending millions a week to the Taliban… What the actual hell!!? How could our government be doing that!!
@@brandonrowland819 US has been spending millions since the 40s and continually ramped up spending every single term regardless of which "team" was in control! You really think the blame for this is to be placed on the guy that can't successfully read a teleprompter? Guessing you would support Lindsey Graham if you lived in his district because he has an R next to his name.
I'll try this for the 3rd time, apparently I need to rephrase it. Seems whoever is responsible for scanning posts on the SR team doesn't like it when someone other than Biden is called out, so much for exposing the truth! They've been sending money there since the late 70s. Certain companies profits increase when there's a conflict. When said companies profits increase many in congress receive increased campaign contributions in return. Rinse & repeat.
This is such an eye opening interview. Many of us have no idea what is going on in Afghanistan and I commend Cmdr Massoud for speaking out and bringing attention to what has happened and what is continuing to happen. His strength and ability to continue to advocate for his people is admiring. I wish the people of Afghanistan strength.
Cmdr Massoud, you have the apologies of many who swore things would be different. I landed in Kabul not long after your father died. Twenty years later, Afghanistan is tough on many of us and is an unfortunate direct example of how a few bad leaders could damage something that could have been so positive on so many levels. I pray Trump retakes Bagram Air Base within the first 100 days of his return to office. Our faith, desire for truth, and new sense of human decency can unite us all. All the best to you and your families, Cmdr. Massoud and Shawn. Shawn your show is growing in amazing ways and vital for a new renaissance. Godspeed
The goosebumps are everywhere! Almost didn't make it home from Afghanistan and I often feel depressed thinking it was for nothing. I felt like a pawn in the game. This interview was great and I'm glad men like this are standing up for their country!
You fought and wasted men and treasure for lies and the interest of your corrupt leaders. While your soldiers suicide from PTSD, your leaders are starting more wars for their interest in Palestine, Ukraine, Africa and Middle East
What a Commander - authoritative yet compassionate, so articulate and insightful. The way he speaks is soothing even though he is talking about monumental losses and tragedies.
Shawn said it best. Our current leadership does not reflect a mass majority of us Veterans. The thousands of men and women who endured a lot of tribulations in Afghanistan surely never anticipated an exfil like we witnessed, and surely wish peace and prosperity for the people of Afghanistan. Thank you so much for this interview, Shawn. I think it gives closure to some, but also insight into the intricate web that a majority of us are embarrassed of.
@@brandonrowland819IT WAS DONALD TRUMP THAT NEGOTIATED THE FATE OF THE COUNTRY OF AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT THAT WE FOUGHT FOR DECADES TO BUILD & SUPPORT! IT WAS TRUMP WHO REDUCED FORCES TO 2500 & SIMULTANEOUSLY FREED 5000 TALIBAN SOLDIERS. THE EXACT SOLDIERS THAT KILLED SO MANY AMERICAN HEROS. IT WAS TRUMP WHO SET & AGREED TO A PREMATURE DATE TO WITHDRAW. IT WAS REPUB SENATORS THAT WERE PLAYING POLITICS INSTEAD OF KEEPING THE MILITARY’S INTEREST IN THE FOREFRONT BY NOT CONFIRMING A DEFENSE SECRETARY WHO IS VITAL FOR A WITHDRAW AS THIS. THE WITHDRAW HAPPENED ONLY WEEKS AFTER A DS WAS CONFIRMED. BIDEN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE DETAILS. BIDEN HAD NO ROLE WHATSOEVER IN SURRENDERING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF AFGHANISTAN TO THE EXACT ENEMY WE FOUGHT TO KEEP IT FROM. THE WITHDRAW WAS HORRIBLE ALL THE WAY AROUND. BIDEN WAS GIVEN A SHIT SANDWICH & FORCED TO EAT IT WITH BOTH HANDS TIED BEHIND HIS BACK. THIS IS ALL FACT & I ENCOURAGE U TO DO SOME RESEARCH TO VERIFY ALL OF IT. THE CRAZY PART IS THAT BIDEN PUBLICLY SAID HE WAS TO BLAME FIR THE WHOLE THING BC HE HAPPENS TO BE AN HONORABLE PERSON & KNOWS THE BUCK STOPPED WITH HIM. HE DIDNT MENTION TRUMP AT ALL. IMAGINE TRUMP NOT BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IVE ALWAYS LIKED SHAWN, BUT I CANT HELP BUT THINK THAT THERES A REASON TRUMPS NAME WASNT MENTIONED AT ALL WHEN THE COMMANDER WAS TALKING ABT HOW THE TALIBAN DIDNT HAVE TO GIVE UP, MEET CONDITIONS, OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL TO BE GIVEN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF AFGHANISTAN ON A SILVER PLATTER. ALTHO JB IS HONORABLE ENOUGH TO SHOULDER THE BLAME FOR HIS PREDECESSORS TOTAL LACK OF NEGOTIATING ABILITY, I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO PUT THE BLAME EXACTLY WHERE IT BELONGS. TRUMP SURRENDERED DECADES OF AMERICAN BLOOD, TREASURE, MILITARY STRATEGY & AMERICAN DIGNITY TO THE EXACT PPL WE FOUGHT SO LONG TO KEEP IT FROM. BLAME BIDEN FOR THE WITHDRAW ITSELF, THO NOT COMPLETELY TRUE ITS NOT COMPLETELY WRONG EITHER. BUT THE ONLY REASON WE WERE IN THAT POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BC OF TRUMPS INCOMPETENCE & LACK OF LOYALTY TO THE SOLDIERS THAT FOUGHT SO HARD FOR HIM TO SIMPLY GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO THE ENEMY. I HOPE U UNDERSTAND WHY ITS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THESE DETAILS THAT I FEEL WERE INTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT IF THIS INTERVIEW. ITS HARD TO NOT DRAW THE CONCLUSION THAT SHAWN IS WORKING ON AN AGENDA RATHER THAN SIMPLY REPORTING WITHOUT BIASES. Hope u have a wonderful rest of your week. His bless this country we all love dearly!💯💯
I never liked the US military was pulled out of Afghanistan.Thank you Shawn for what you are doing. We need to get Commander Massoud to be able to speak to to Congress.
Yes please everyone share this with people you know.. It doesn't matter about what your political ties are, this is about a entire nation being oppressed.. Very sad
Such an crucial interview. This is a pivotal moment for all freedom-loving people of Afghanistan and Americans to watch this interview. Thank you, Shawn, and your team for crossing the ocean to bring the truth and reality to the American people. Our gratitude is beyond words. 🙏#SRS #Vets4NRF #Legend
@@bilalwardak1999 A division is far better than accepting a Fascist Mono-ethnic government, where everything is in favor of a single ethnicity. Btw your sure name says it all!
@Khan-sg1rh open your eyes massoud does not care for the afghan people. He doesn't even consider himself afghan....just Tajik And there are many officials that are from many different tribes other than pashtuns Taliban are on the streets everyday risking their lives protecting shias and hazaras from ISIS attacks Stop listening to propaganda Afghans do not want this man
This interview absolutely disgusts me over the failures of my government and I'm ashamed of how much the Afghanistan people and the u.s people have lost due to the corrupt government choices..
The American people have been lied to for so long. I woke up and quit watching tv years ago. Shows like this give me hope. The truth is out there and the brave speak it. Thank you Shawn for many amazing interviews.
My brother Shawn Ryan. I will never forget You or talking with you. Thank You so much for all you do, have done and continue to do for all the right reasons. Again, thank you brother.
Rushed home from work to watch this. Shawn, thank you. Im just an average American mom. Since my son turned me on to your channel, I look to you and your platform for the hard truths and education you're providing. Cmdr Massouds love for his country is palpable in his voice. God bless you both. Thank you for this interview.
Commander A. Massoud, From the deepest of our hearts and energy, we apologize for how you were treated. I was raised here in USA, but it brings tears to my eyes how easily war, violence, betrayal and escapism happens. The viewers here of SRS are a different breed than our government’s decisions, and the entire world’s choices to choose violence and betrayal. How can we help?
Shawn, I signed the petition gratefully! This video is a huge awakening for the US people! As a son of a Veteran, I wondered what is going on in Afghanistan after our disgraceful departure! Thank you so much!
I'm an old lady.... I am an Australian.......I know fighters in lots of armies feel sadness for all..... I wish to send my heart love to you all too ........
Thank you Shawn. You are right, this is probably the most important interview you have done. I remember when we pulled out of Afghanistan, my brother in law was pissed. He was about to deploy and had spent 2 years training his team. I really didn’t understand the implications of this move by our government until watching this interview. It makes me sick to hear about this total disregard for the people of Afghanistan, for all those who died in this war. For our government to turn around and give support to the very enemy we were at war with? Reversing all the progress we made in the last 20 years. This is infuriating.
Signed and shared. Every American should watch this interview. The fact that the US flies $40M-87M weekly to the Taliban is abhorrent and IMO treasonous. Thank you for educating us, as we will NEVER hear this anywhere else.
That's nothing compared to the distruction they brought to Afghanistan..The Taliban is the government of Afghanistan at this stage and Taliban does not equal AlQaeda.. They are isolationists and not interested in interventionist policies. They have no quarrels with anyone and we should let them govern themselves the way they see fit according to their traditions and culture. People don't get it, Afghanistan is called the graveyard of Empires.. Not the Russians, Not the U.S, Not the Mongols, not Alexander the great. Could ever break them. “The goal is an endless war, not a successful war” - Julian Assange (wars to enrich the military complex) “May God keep you away from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger, and the revenge of the Afghans.” - Alexander the Great.
@@pepesmokesbongwoods5310 I have, i just don't believe everything that man is saying.. He seems like he has a personal vendetta. I have been to Afghanistan recently as a tourist, things are improving surely but slowly considering they've are wartorn from being invaded continuously by the Soviets then Americans for almost 50 years.. There is way less crime, no Junkies on the streets, the streets are clean albiet life is not great economically yet but they are trying to get back on their feet and exploit the natural resources they have. It's surprisingly very safe for tourists, every Taliban I met made sure I was safe, insisted I had tea with them and fed me. There are many videos on youtube of tourists (many are women)going there recently.
Fellow Tennessean here! Your channel has become one of my favorites. You're doing important work here. Thank you for seeking truth and providing a platform for those who wish to share it.
I loved and respected his dad so much - an honest, brave and incredible human being. I was mortified when he was killed. Cmdr. Ahmad Massoud resembles his father. I felt he was a principled man so when his son said this it resonated with me. My own father had died in Feb '01, a WWII vet and principled loving devoted man who served his God, his family, his country and community for his entire adult life and I miss him to this very day. It was a rough year for so many of us. My prayers are with Ahmad, may he achieve his dreams God willing. Thank you, Shawn for interviewing him.
I've been following your podcast almost since the beginning and without false modesty I can say that what you do is a great service to humanity. Many thanks for everything and all the podcasts you've done.
This interview was amazing! Thank you for doing this! And what a wonderful man he is! Prayers for him and his country to take back Afghanistan 🇦🇫 What an incredible story he shared….and bravery ❤
Shawn you are an absolute hero. Every interview you sit back and allow the person you’re interviewing to speak uninterrupted. You’re so unbiased that it really shows how bad the media is. May god bless you and your family and friends. Citizens everywhere in America should be listening to this interview. America loves you Shawn. Thank you 🐐 🇺🇸 ❤️
Just an honor to hear this man speak. I remember when his father was assassinated. I was so sad to have heard that. He was a brilliant and courageous man. He stood tall. Thank you for making this happen and I thought you did an amazing job and was happy you let him speak.. Great job.. I appreciated your no bull approach..
As a combat veteran of OEF and medically retired due to sustained injuries in combat I feel so bad for the Afghanistan civilians, Americas military, and all other parties involved. I believe myself and every veteran were ashamed of how the Biden administration pulled out of Afghanistan. It was absolutely terrible. Speaking for myself, I felt shit on for my service and sacrifice as well as those I saw pay the ultimate price. What little patriotism I had left vanished with those actions. Thank you for agreeing to this interview Commander Ahmad Massoud and sharing your knowledge and humility. At the end of the day all any of us want is truth and freedom. I send my condolences and a sincere apology. I also want to thank you Sean for all you do. I love your podcast and support you.
As a Truck driver and Civilian, i urge you guys to sign the petition! Im scared to leave my wife and family for days and a possible can happen at any time. 😢
You are a good for nothing traitor if your think NATO fleeing Afghanistan is a national catastrophe. That's like the Polish or Austrians crying when the Nazis fled their lands.
Very happy that some of actual Afghans who we were allied with for DECADES are able to share their stories. There are millions of podcasts out there with SEAL-Ranger you name it cool guys talking about their experiences but almost NOTHING talking about those who fought against the Taliban from DAY 1 and continue to the present. Kudos to Shawn for bringing this guest on. Afghanistan Zindabad🇦🇫🇦🇫 Hamesha
There are some... but because special forces were rotated in and out of various conflict zones, when you hear interviews with some of those men, their service in Afghanistan will be only a part of the entire service record. There are some interviews with soldiers who were at the Kabul airport on that shameful day, August 15, 2021. Another famous one, of course-' from an earlier time-- is the story of Marcus Luttrell, who after being severely wounded was aided by villagers until he could be rescued.

I have always wanted to serve and I have a deep passion to bring awareness on this matter and to stand for those who risk their life's against terrorism to put a end to this horrible situation. I sincerely with the utmost respect salute you sirs, Cmdr Ahmad Massoud and Shawn Ryan. I wish you and your people the best and I will never give up on those that fought for freedom and against terrorism.

@@imahippyburning3303 absolutely Ukrainian or west, America can't defeat Russia never or ever in War not for now, they are making strong Russian Federation itself
@@TheBackpacker26 the state of Texas alone has more firepower and die hard patriots loyal to this land than Russia has in their entire country. Texas can take Russia alone, you can sit that one out and let a bunch of real battle hardened Texas veterans deal with them lol.
I'm a retired Canadian Armed Forces Search and Rescue Technician. I have been watching several (not all yet) of your Podcasts... and I believe that what you are doing with your guests is paramount. Whether we are Special Forces, JTF2, CANSOFCOM, SAR Techs, SEALS, MARSOC, Delta, Green Berets, SAS, etc. or an infantryman. We all have stories to tell and I believe that your platform lends a perfect venue for this. So I commend you for that. My favourite Podcast was with Chris Beck... That individual is unbelievable...the shit that he comes up with and how his mind works is second to none... Keep doing your great work... RESCUE!
I am without words. I’m US OEF/OIF combat veteran, 22 yr retiree. This interview is so powerful. Shawn, u r doing Gods work. I believe u r building fwd momentum and influence power. This knowledge needed to be public knowledge.
