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.

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