    Why would they give a fuck if the Taliban gets money? The US loves right wing fundamentalists, especially when they’re on China’s border.

    Either the US gets to go back to sort em out, or they bleed into Ughyurstan and exacerbate China’s problems.

    This is not an accident at all. This is journalism that pretends to be holding the USG accountable, while legitimising it’s image as a bumbling empire who somehow always stumbles into war, rather than an empire who creates the situations in order to wage war.

      Taliban and China are actually getting along just fine right now. The whole reason US was in Afghanistan is precisely so they could keep it unstable. Now that there is an actual government, even if it is the Taliban, it’s far more stable than it’s been under the occupation.
