the Taliban couldn’t care less about “complicating future requests for foreign aid”
Mullen, IMHO, is dead wrong. All one has to do is look at guys like Arafat to see the fortune he amassed by duping the world. All the Taliban has to do is turn all their people into victims like the PLO did the Palestinians, and the money and aid flows. And one by one, they can build up their nest eggs and head to Dubai.
And also let the opium and hash flow unabated to Mexico, with help from the Russians and Chinese, to further destroy this country.
I agree. This isn’t 2001. This is the social media woke victim age. They will milk this for money.
