Man I remember having tea with Hamdullah Mohib and his wife at the Afghan Embassy in DC a few years ago. I forgot he was the NSA :damn:

Breh, you brain is a weird combination Cold War era US state department propaganda and Clinton-era logic, so maybe you shouldn’t.
Same old corny nonsense from you :yawn:


Anyways, I'm not going any further. Have a good day :coffee:

Like I said prior, Blinken got your thinking points ready. Wait for his Monday press conference.

The Chinese want stability over anything

They see the Taliban as the best bet and are willing to secure their interests with them entrenched in power. They’d be diplomatically backing the Kabul government if they had their shid together but they clearly don’t.

Taliban have been way more diplomatically savvy than they were 20 years ago. They have open channels with the Chinese, Indians, Russians and of course the Pakistanis who are licking their chops.

The irony is that the abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan is part of the US policy of focusing on China.

US strategists are worried that the burden of the war on terror was distracting them from strategic challenges posed by China! And yet, the US pulling back from Central Asia will help the Chinese.

The Taliban should NOT have any international recognition from any nation (especially non-Muslim majority ones). fukk all of those nations that you mentioned :manny:

All those countries including the US were participating in the Doha talks. Taliban are part of the Afghan political future whether we like it or not.

Exactly. Only the Cold Warriors and wannabe Cold Warrior-types can’t see the reality at hand.

None of what the both of you said means that the Taliban should receive any formal international recognition.
