Absolutely no reason for the Taliban to follow any international power or treaty. They’re being financially cornered and have billions of dollars in US weaponry. This is not going to end well.

I’m sure the CCP is ready and willing to help.

The “Taliban government” which allegedly does not exist is holding NATO citizens hostage....

Time to pay up or shut up...

How long before Biden sends the Taliban pallets full of billions of USD on planes, like Obama/Valerie Jarrett did for Iran?

Aid from nato will be replaced by aid from the UN, yes?

The UN has no objection to Islamist regimes.

I do not understand.
Who was financing the taliban before? If the money wasn’t coming from the ‘afghan government’, why would cutting off ‘afghan govt funds’ affect the taliban?

…as if the Taliban wanted or needed NATO support…sheesh, they just kicked NATOs ass in three days. And they got a sh*tload of military hardware and ammo as loot. Not to mention 10s of thousands hostages to ransom.

Send them a harshly worded letter, why don’t you…they’ll tremble at not being invited to the International Community’s cocktail parties.

Western Civilization is made up of idiots and buffoons.

I think the plan is that NATO countries will include virtue signaling text along with the wiring of cash for hostages....you know like “don’t forget to celebrate Gay Pride month”...

It almost as if they’re poking them into killing hostages.

NO ONE WANTS TO SAY IT OR USE THE WORDS, BUT BIDEN IS NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN VS. HITLER AND NAZISM ..................................................................................................................................................

Before leaving the "Führerbau," Chamberlain requested a private conference with Hitler. Hitler agreed, and the two met at Hitler's apartment in the city later that morning. Chamberlain urged restraint in the implementation of the agreement and requested that the Germans not bomb Prague if the Czechs resisted, to which Hitler seemed agreeable. Chamberlain took from his pocket a paper headed "Anglo–German Agreement", which contained three paragraphs, including a statement that the two nations considered the Munich Agreement "symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war again." According to Chamberlain, Hitler interjected "Ja! Ja!" ("Yes! Yes!") as the Prime Minister read it.[130]

The two men signed the paper then and there.

When, later that day, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop remonstrated with Hitler for signing it, the Führer replied, "Oh, don't take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever."[131]

Chamberlain, on the other hand, patted his breast pocket when he returned to his hotel for lunch and said, "I've got it!"[132] Word leaked of the outcome of the meetings before Chamberlain's return, causing delight among many in London but gloom for Churchill and his supporters.[133]

speaking of Germany, I've been reading so many people that were "surprised at how fast the taliban moved to get to Kabul"

well, they wouldn't be surprised if you looked at the nazi blitzkreig...those German soldiers in World War 2 did it with methamphetamine. Back then is was pervitin.
