Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Whatever you do, don’t put me through to voicemail” is so funny now but how do you explain voicemail to tribal taliban? That is so awful that it’s funny now that he lived.

"How do you spell Sean Langan?" is the most British response ever LOL

Yet he abandoned his family for money after being threatened with death on his first meeting lol very honorable selfish man indeed. Or as it is these days some bull story spiced up for us to watch. How can these evil west hating mad so called muslims let him go doesnt make sense.

Probably because he would not be able to live with the guilt of not trying to help him, so in the end it wasn't really a choice for him.

@@Chimponaut or may be its because he is his friend and he's a human being.

@@Gollumfili Well, that was my point, and a decent human could not live with not helping him.

@@Chimponaut I don't know if I could have done that. It sounds like there was a really good chance that they were going to kill them both with that move. I can't imagine being so close to coming home to my wife and kids, just to probably throw it away on the chance that his fixer isn't already dead.

'heal'? It's the ultimate confirmation of humanity's propensity for goodness. That, itself, is the heal.

😂 because we are human , we are not like you , we appreciate loyalty, unlike you

​@@Dawn-Songs amen

Oh, they allowed the fixer to go because they wouldn't get a heap of USD if they ended up killing the journalist. Has nothing to do with honor.

Honorable men die just as easily.

Imagine the terror from him knowing how those videos goes then when he realized they were giving him his last rites before his execution. Jesus christ I would die from fear

I mean, have you been carpet bombed by an American bomber in Iraq? Wiping many women and children off the map? I think we can equally say that it's both horrific.

@@eddiea677 No no, the americans are the good guys here, It was Afghanistan who invaded and killed thousands in USA, not the other way around.

You do realize that could've made him die at the spot? I mean I appreciate his bravery but people making this act as a requirement is dumb and only comes from western propaganda movies full of clichés

@@ThePatriarchXCI91 Without sacrifice there is no courage or bravery. It’s not just in the west. Every civilization known to man was built on the backs of people willing to sacrifice themselves for someone else or some greater good. Plus just imagine you were the fixer.

@@ThePatriarchXCI91 I don't think anyone is acting like this is some sort of requirement. You really just don't know until you find yourself in that position, which you hopefully never will. It is likely that over those 3 months of imprisonment, they bonded and he looked at his fixer more like a friend, he even mentioned he would prefer to be shot by him, so I guess its a natural human connection.

well he lucky, he was captive in a family house not in Guantanamo bay

Imagine the situation of him speaking English to the Taliban and his Arabic interpreter going: "he said that he won't leave until you release me as well". Sus as hell.

stand ****there****

absolutely. I thought to myself could I stand up and decline my freedom and potentially my life to try to save a friend. You don't know until youre in the same position I suppose but I cant truthfully say I would. I salute this man for his courage

@@rarebreed748 I agree. She’s just a parasite that wants a man to be willing to die for her.

@@rarebreed748 honestly? Are you ok in the head?

The Taliban detained him for 3 months, found him innocent then released him. He wasn't beaten or tortured. This is the summary of his story but stripped from all western propaganda. This is why the Taliban prevailed. They're just. He is not the only western who was detained then released unharmed. In fact, others embraced Islam such as Yvonne Ridley.

Absolute pure Courage and Heart damn

He called afghans arabs what do u mean

“How do you spell Shaun Lagan?” “Fuckin ell how many Shaun lagans have you got kidnapped?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

An absolutely astonishing, wonderful, and brilliant interview. I shed some tears and also marvelled at his acute recognition of the tribal and religious respect he gained by knowing and recognising what his captors valued. An absolute master class in how to react to be taken hostage and especially by warriors, I dearly wish this could be grabbed by a couple of smart writers to be made into a story. I'm going to have to watch this again immediately, I can't think of anything better to view right now.

@@f82dot shut up

Errr I think you’ve wildly misunderstood what I was saying. My point is psychology dictates that when mixing with all different types of people we are prone to picking out our differences - that’s a fact. We all do it. But when we instead flip it round to noting what similarities we have then it just leads to nicer connections, understanding, empathy… this guy summed this up in his narration perfectly.

If only we can all see each other as human. Imagine the entire world working together no matter our difference. We have different races, different cultures, different religions, and even a different grasp on reality..but what if we all just saw each other as humans?

hey we must have watched the same video, what a co-inky dink

In a weird way, I think his captors must have been impressed by stubborn, principled position on not wanting to be released, which resulted in both lives being spared.

Spoiler alert 🚨

Not at all. He might be a hero for the world, but he is the disgrace of the family. He puts his passion first before his family, total selfish man. My prayer to his family.

@@nerp23 Be quiet, nothing you say has been corroborated. Lol, do you need an interview with the Talibans that kidnapped him with pictures and footage?

How else do you report from places like this? This kind of journalism carries inherent risks to do the job properly

@AK 74 Easy, you simply don't. Full stop. If there is an enormous risk of your employees getting gang raped, tortured and beheaded online; for their family - you simply don't do it. Gather Intel another way.

@@prankgirl9112 That's not how real journalists works. War journalists know and understand the risks and they are not coerced. The job they do is extremely important for humanity. Imagine if we had no war time reporting throughout history.

@@AK-74K yea but you can't be sending people to places with documented cases of beheading. Documenting the war in Ukraine? Sure. Not a camp full of f*cking Taliban savages that don't know how voicemail works.

As a someone who is from Pakistan, his employer is so Godamn stupid. Like literally out government is already corrupt, they’re not gonna save your ass, they don’t give a flying fuck. Makes sense to why my Mom and Dad wanted to move out of Pakistan so bad.

You never heard of it because it would have exposed the truth about the Taliban..that they only kill enemies and not innocent dudes,it dosen't fit the narrative that the western news wants you to know 😉

ditto

and what good would that do?ofc she didnt do it on purpose, most likely she was completely overstrained by the situation.. bear in mind, she was/is just a simple call center worker, most likely not trained in how to behave while negotiating with terrorists. Also, putting ppl through to another phone usually puts the caller automatically on hold, so unless the guy he wanted to reach in the end wasnt physically close to / around the woman, how would she be able to put him through without him ending up on hold automatically.. most likely she didnt even realize what she almost had caused! long story short: there is absolutely NO reason to blame her in front of everyone for this whole situation, thats just awful.. blame the guys that ordered the journalist to go into this area despite knowing how dangerous it is.

@@tschiefnrone as someone who works in a call center, thank you!!! Couldn’t have written it better myself

@@amydiamond6028 You have one job and you failed at it.

@@tschiefnrone I still blame the call center woman. She probably directed the call and then went back to eating her snack. Probably didn't even report it to the police. Call center people are scum.

​@@tschiefnrone I wholeheartedly disagree. The entire "on hold" thing wasn't that if the terrorists heard hold music they'd kill him, it was that he didn't want to be put in line behind typical callers, or any other call. Hearing hold music while the target phone is ringing is a moot point. I used to work at a big car dealership complex with a phone system that allowed you to handle phone calls like at a call center. If I got someone on the phone who had been missing for months and was literally about to be executed by terrorists, you bet your ass I'm going to double and triple check that the fucker he wants to talk to is at his desk with his hand on the phone, ready to answer it. There is absolutely no reason that a co-worker couldn't have helped in some way, called the guy first to make sure he was there, if not then call someone who knew where he was, and so on and so on, until you got the call through. But you mean to say that a person at a call center couldn't literally do their job to save someone's life? That's honestly the dumbest thing I've heard, I'm sorry, you are wrong. Edit: forgot to mention, in a phone system like this, you can set your status. If you're not at your desk, or you clock out for the day, you can set your status to "away" or "do not disturb" or something similar, which causes incoming calls to go STRAIGHT to voicemail without ringing. This is what happened, according to the interview. She either didn't check the target phone's/user's status, or saw that they were away and sent it anyway. Ether way, she's an idiot and fucked up. Period. Also, he wasn't ordered to go to this area. His superiors proposed it and he said yes, he literally said it in this video. If it was a 100% suicide mission and his boss said you go there or you're fired, he obviously would have just left. But he's a TERRORIST JOURNALIST. He literally interviews terrorists by choice. Nobody made him do it.

Horrific? Homemade meals and no torture interrogations. They were convinced he was a spy, and probably for good reason considering what NATO has done to their country.

In GITMO, they are currently torturing suspects (many who were exonerated as completely innocent) who were captured for supposed terrorist plots or collaboration with extremist groups.

There's a theory about the formation of the developed/first world. It can only exist at the suffering and exploitation of the peripheral world. So far it's been true throughout history. While one part of the world is seeing its golden age, the other is having its resources exploited and people subjugated. From the Romans, Vikings, Ottomans, Great Britain, you name it. America is just the next empire presiding over this earth. But the point is, you're not disconnected from that world. It's not a crisis unfolding far from you, it's the blood and sorrow that is shed so you can have your 'freedom'. When they say they're fighting for your freedom, they mean it literally. The ability to afford commuting in gasoline cars, wealthy economy, all contingent on another nation being pilfered, while your nation asserts its hegemony. Tell me when it hasn't been so? The US was exploiting other nations when it wasn't the Middle East. Point is, time to be more aware.

stupidity and barbarity is torturing people in GITMO, like Ould Slahi, who took years to be released, exonerated of all charges. Meanwhile you can watch many interviews of captured journalists saying they were treated kindly by the Taliban. So I would say the borderline stupidity lies in American citizens doing nothing about torture US conducts.
