Carlson, who had been critical of the changes, rebuked the “awakened generals” for their criticism and said he and his supporters were not “shaken”.

“We were almost shaken. Then we realized that if the awakened generals treated us like they treated the Taliban, everything would be fine. Twenty years later, the Taliban are still there.
