Two wars, two eras, two very different dress codes; same room, same old battlefield: against the Kremlin. Afghan Mujahideen in the 1980s rocked turbans, Zelensky in the 2020s sticks to his hoodie. Funny how modern journalists seem more interested in the wardrobe than the war!
@RahmatullahN You can also find in below two video clips that two separate delegations of Afghan Mujahideen in the 1980s rocked turbans and traditional probes as well.
In the 1980s, Pashtun Mujahideen in turbans were hailed as freedom fighters by Reagan. Today, Ukraine, backed by NATO and the CIA, fights Russia—but some see it as disgraceful. Turbans symbolized resistance; Zelensky’s military gear projects resilience under a Republican president in 2025.
War, Wardrobe, and the Battlefield – History Repeats Itself In the 1980s, when Afghan Mujahideen were fighting the Soviet invasion, much of the Western media paid little attention to their sacrifices, resilience, or the brutal realities of war. Instead, they focused on appearances—long beards, turbans, and traditional attire. The struggle itself often took a backseat to discussions about dress codes. Fast forward nearly forty years, and the setting remains the same: the old war rooms, the same Kremlin adversary, but different faces and different outfits. This time, it’s Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading his country against a Russian invasion. Yet, once again, much of the media discourse isn’t about the war’s stakes, the destruction, or the human cost—it’s about what he wears. Why no suit? Why the same old green hoodie? The pattern is striking. Instead of focusing on the essence of war—the suffering, the resistance, and the geopolitical shifts—many journalists seem fixated on fashion choices. It’s a reminder that, for some, the optics of war matter more than the war itself.
@RahmatullahN 1. The Afghan Mujahideen in the 1980s weren't heads of state 2. Very ugly comparison since Ukraine is not fighting a civil war and is internationally recognized.
@RahmatullahN So f-king what? US support for the mujahideen is seen widely as a mistake. To the point that some today don't even see a distinction between them and the Taliban. Maybe the takeaway is: Trump got it right and Regan got it wrong. Dress codes matter.
@RahmatullahN فکر کوم د زیلنسکي حالت درته خپل درې کاله مخکنی حالت دریاد کړ، خو تا په ٤٠ کاله مخکې حالت ځان غلط کړ
@RahmatullahN @PSoAFG رحمت الله نبیل از زمان ملل متحد جذب شده بود. باز امریکا امنیت رییس جمهور کرزی را توسط فرد اعتمادی خود، نبیل خان تامین کرد. نبیل فعلا امریکا است و همکار قوی غرب میباشد.
@RahmatullahN دوې جګړې، دوه دورې، دوه بېلابېل لباسونه؛ هماغه کوټه، هماغه پخوانی جنګمیدان: د کریملین پر ضد. په ۱۹۸۰مو کلونو کې افغان مجاهدین پګړۍ تړلې وې، خو په ۲۰۲۰مو کې زیلینسکي خپله هوډي اغوندي. عجیبه ده چې معاصر خبریالان د جګړې پر ځای د جامو په اړه زیات لیواله ښکاري!
@RahmatullahN Glad they do because now when the beggars come begging for money at the Oval Office,they have to eat pork breakfast American nation meal drink Bloody Mary America national drink and fight for the money they take home from White House period. Come to Jesus embrace him keep quite🤐
@RahmatullahN او ته چې پر چا باور کوې او کوچنی کوچنی ورته کېږې
@RahmatullahN ...and you still haven't understood that in the grand scheme of big power rivalry the small dudes safeguard themselves or get crushed in proxy wars. As a product of a proxy war you will never abandon the idea that gave birth to you. Sad.
@RahmatullahN Rabbani, who is responsible for Afghanistan's misery, was also a slave of America
@RahmatullahN Nabil sahab you could be a very good technocrat but never a good politician.

@RahmatullahN Afghan leader in his national dress, turban and shalwar kameez
@RahmatullahN Both the turban and tracksuit guy are disgusting. Got what they deserved.
@RahmatullahN This example of yours has no relevance.
