And what you're doing is phenomenal, not just for the sport, not just for the grappling sports, but also for Uzbekistan.
JoshHOST
And I think most Uzbeks know that too.
JoshHOST
And guys, if you can like and subscribe to my podcast or my YouTube channel, that would be great because that would really help me grow.
JoshHOST
I'm trying to grow this thing so I can get more great guests on this.
Moazzam BeggGUEST
So they literally did this, went into a particular region, helped and they saved these kids after putting an ultimatum.
Moazzam BeggGUEST
They went from there to strength to strength to strength and took the south of Afghanistan without much of a fight until they came to Kabul, where it's very cosmopolitan, and they ended up fighting with other groups, Shiites, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Tajiks, and so forth.
Moazzam BeggGUEST
So that part of at least the Taliban I came across and met with.
Moazzam BeggGUEST
They were very stern, very strict.
Scott HortonGUEST
So the Vietnamese, the South Vietnamese, or the Hmong tribesmen, or whoever, we make them all these promises, and then we let them get killed by the commies in the end.
Scott HortonGUEST
The same thing for the Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks of Afghanistan.
Scott HortonGUEST

David BennerHOST
but it ain't about you you know Yeah, the regime views Ukraine as a proverbial pawn on their grand chessboard of empire building.
JackHOST
I'm going to say this is when the Jordanians put on a shooting clinic in this match and walk away with a three to one.
JackHOST
So I got the Uzbeks and Jordan advancing.
JackHOST
Bahrain is second on, excuse me, in third on two points in North Korea.
JackHOST
Pains me, man.
28 MINS LATER
JackHOST
That's what I think is going to happen in that game.
JackHOST
So yeah, Uzbekistan, I feel like this would be, I don't know if this would be considered a successful Asian Cup.
JackHOST
I think it would just be like a meh for the Uzbeks here.
JackHOST
For Iran, obviously, it's disappointing.
Charles PignalHOST
So the right-wing Tsar was like, oh, Pushkin's my guy.
Charles PignalHOST
Stalin in 1937, as he was trying to... unite the Soviet Union, all these different people, the Uzbeks, the Kyrgyz, the Turkmens, and so on.
Charles PignalHOST
It's like, hey, this guy, Alexander Pushkin, he's our uniting figure.
Charles PignalHOST
So he becomes very much a uniting figure.
Fabrizio FoschiniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And these people overnight, they became very important because they had conquered the whole province, one of the biggest and with a reputation of being a very anti-Taliban province.
Agnieszka Pikulicka-WilczewskaHOST
Historically, Badakhshan was home to several Central Asian ethnic groups, including Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmens and Hazaras.
Agnieszka Pikulicka-WilczewskaHOST
Pashtuns, who make up the majority of the Taliban movement, were not well represented in this remote mountainous region.
Agnieszka Pikulicka-WilczewskaHOST
Yet, attempts to settle Pashtun tribes in the north date back to the late 19th century, during the reign of Amir Abdur Rahman Khan.
Fabrizio FoschiniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Subsequent attempts by the Afghan kings to secure, to get a tighter control of the northern border areas, which were inhabited by the so-called minority groups, so Uzbeks, Turkmens, Tajiks, They were sending Pashtun groups to basically be settled there.
Fabrizio FoschiniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They were giving them lands.
Fabrizio FoschiniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They were asking them to relocate and move there.
John GarvinGUEST
You've got the Tajiks who are in the north.
John GarvinGUEST
You've got Uzbeks that are in the north.
John GarvinGUEST
You've got a little bit of Persian influence over in the east near Herat.
John GarvinGUEST
And then obviously you can see, well, the Pashtun influence doesn't just go in Afghanistan.
John GarvinGUEST
So they conquered the Tajiks.
John GarvinGUEST
They conquered the Hazara.
John GarvinGUEST
They conquered the Uzbeks.
John GarvinGUEST
And they built some of this area.
Roh YakobiHOST
What was also kind of important as a context that you also provide in the book is the intertribal, you know, longstanding multigenerational blood feuds among the Pashtuns.
Roh YakobiHOST
It is not just, you know, from the Western point of view, you could look up, you know, the labels of Pashtuns, the Hazaras, the Tajiks and the Uzbeks.
Roh YakobiHOST
But the Pashtuns are such a complicated communities of people that unless you delve into that complexity, you will never understand.
Roh YakobiHOST
And what you do in the book is that you really delve deeper, you know, beyond the surface to say, you know, Razik Achigzai.
Scott HortonGUEST
So the Vietnamese, the South Vietnamese, or the Hmong tribesmen, or whoever, we make them all these promises, and then we let them get killed by the commies in the end.
Scott HortonGUEST
The same thing for the Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks of Afghanistan.
Scott HortonGUEST
The same thing for... you know the sunnis of iraq oh yeah no you guys would be the sons of iraq you'll be integrated right into the regime you know you know whatever um and same thing for the ukrainians here same thing for the afghans in the 1980s right like you guys are just a prop dude they don't matter um at all and um and you would think that the ukrainians would get hip to that You know, and I could see how from out of their own eyes that it just looks like a war between them and Russia.
Scott HortonGUEST
You know, someone help.
Robert PapeGUEST
And so we ran into this problem with the Northern Alliance, where we were able to mobilize the Northern Alliance as far as taking Kabul.
Robert PapeGUEST
And that's because if you look at a lot of the tribal areas here with the Uzbeks and Tajiks, you can see in Afghanistan why they called it the Northern Alliance.
Robert PapeGUEST
It was to the north and east of Kabul.
Robert PapeGUEST
But it did not extend into the south and it didn't extend where then bin Laden was near Jalalabad and Tora Bora.
