What is the difference with the US? The US supports repressive regimes like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain. The Taliban is no different from Saudi Arabia. The US spends billions every year to support their military. The US is protecting their interest. China is doing the same. Geopolitics is a cold hearted game. The US and China play it the same way. It’s all about interest. It’s just the US is a hypocritical power saying one thing but doing the other. Don’t tell you are naive enough to believe that America’s foreign policy is protecting democracies, caring about human rights, and spreading freedom around the globe?
