Looking forward to all the Putin and Xi fans having to explain to us how the Taliban has been unfairly maligned by Western propaganda.
Won’t be a stretch for Yall-Qaeda
Trump, tommorrow: “The afghanistan withdrawl was a yuge success. The taliban are great people, nicest people you ever met”
It sounds wacky if you’re on a mostly American or corporate media diet these last twenty years, but the Taliban has been fighting terrorists in their area of late. The situation in the middle east has failed to be as simple as GW Bush would have had us believe.
I don’t support them obviously, but I at least recognize that this isn’t really as zany and ironic as a typical “not the Onion” headline.
Who the Taliban call “terrorists”
- Anyone associated with the previous democratic government.
- Women.
- Anyone with a half decent education.
- Regional warlords that were(are?) bankrolled by the US and previously stabilized the country, protecting it from foreign interests like the Taliban.
