Videos of Taliban members patrolling the streets of Kabul on rollerblades have gone viral, sparking amazement and skepticism. The videos have led to discussions about the quality of Afghanistan's roads and the use of rollerblades by security forces. Some speculate that the rollerblades were left behind by the U.S. military. The origin of the video is traced back to an Afghan parkour athlete's YouTube channel.

Authority figures told you two manifestly absurd things in the past few weeks: Sandal wearing terrorists in paragliders slowly...OH SO VERY SLOWLY...crossed that Israel/Gaza border and seized hostages And now roller blade wearing Taliban. This is an IQ test. Who passed… https://t.co/3YgyutEGLj
I’d be more impressed by the Taliban rollerblade team if I hadn’t seen the exact same misguided flex in People’s Armed Police CT exercises for their special event mission. Which suggests an unobserved liaison (if not parallel development from same terrible first principles).

The craziest thing about the afghani rollerblading video is it’s obvious afghani roads have less potholes than ours.
