That aha moment when you realize there are as many variants of ISIS as there are Covid.
To be honest I am getting pretty bored of this place.

After evacuations have ended, is the US military willing to stay in Afghanistan to help with the original mission of helping the Afghan people lift themselves out of poverty while maintaining human rights and human dignity?  Can we help provide NATO support which I think everybody, including the Taliban, will support if its in a peaceful, non-warring state?

Kabul airport is a good place to start.  We already have military and Taliban working together to secure the evacuations.  Perhaps we're evacuating to many people and is why bombers are acting up again.   

Are we ready for diplomacy again?  Can we accept the new power structure in Afghanistan and make peace with the Taliban for the sake of Afghani's and the 20 years work our soldiers put into Afghanistan?  I think it might be easier then everyone thinks.

 

I don't see why not. The republican party is now strongly pro taliban.

Seriously though in favor with negotiating with the government of Afghanistan, which is now the taliban, if it leads to less misery for their people.

Yeah I agree, any talks which lead to a good outcome is encouraging to me.

Afghanistan.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

I wouldn't be so sure thats a win. I think Israel or US will turn it into glass over the next decade. We've been in the middle east last 30 years, why? Exactly....

Still a big deal.  Until we all switch to electric cars.

If you can't see their face or body, you can't lust after them.

More Taliban 2.0 centrism on display as they ban all non-approved protests.

In fairness, America sort of does that too.  Need a permit to protest in most areas.

I’m seeing more and more why right-wing Americans were happy the Taliban took over.

The Taliban is Right Wing heaven.  Except they're muslim and not Christians.

Yes.  Muslims and Christians both believe in the existence of supernatural entities
and paranormal phenomena.  Just different ones LOL.

Eh. Technically the same one.  Hell, they consider Jesus to be a prophet of God.
They just go about things differently.
