Gee, they sure took their time, McCain, Graham and NeoCons were the Trailblazers in making Allies of the worst Terrorists in the World.
That's probably where the Russians learned how.
The Taliban are thugs. Plain and simple. They are asking for trouble.
“Legalize” the Taliban?
Is Taliban Afghanistan not already a member of the UN?
Yup.
So what’s left to legalize?
Politico is pathetic.
Still crying over losing free US tax payer dollars from USAID? Yup.
Putin trying to buy favor among his own Muslim minorities and playing the “long game” with China for influence with anyone in power in Afghanistan.
Putin is grateful for all the US military equipment left behind by Biden and sent to Russia by the Taliban at very cheap prices.
Russian uses Christianity as a garment to wear for certain occasions. THey’re not truly a christian oriented government or they’re doing this for self preservation. Either way, it doesn’t make them friends of ours.
Jao Bai-din even left behind billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment and weapons for them to use.
fools

It’s all about the huge mineral resources in the country.
I admire Trump’s taste in enemies, and
Abhor Putin’s taste in friends...
You are known by the company you keep.
That goes for us as well as the Russians.
I No difference between Russia and Afghanistan....
Putin does loads of business with North Koreans, the Muslim Iranians, so the Taliban are a nice fit too. Call them the axis of shtyte hooks. Putin prides himself on being able to psyche out the Muslims, get them to do his bidding. Ramzan Kadyrov and his Chechens are a good example. Putin buys them off for a few billion dollars a year.

Is Ramzan Kadyrov dying? The independent Russian-language publication Novaya Gazeta recently published an investigation in which it claimed Kadyrov was terminally ill, suffering from pancreatic necrosis. Putin’s ally, it claimed, may not have long to live and it cited a long list of evidence to back up its claim.
Throughout his rule, Kadyrov and his cronies have committed many crimes to shore up their power, and have enjoyed the Kremlin’s protection throughout. But even Putin’s patronage cannot protect Kadyrov from his own mortality.
Kadyrov appears to be doing his best to ensure that his family is well placed after his death
The Chechen ruler’s health, judging just from his appearance, is clearly failing. Recent videos published by Kadyrov on his social media show that he has the same swollen face and same laboured breathing as last summer, shortly before he was said to have been hospitalised in a central Moscow clinic for treatment.
Kadyrov’s latest political reshuffles in the republic also suggest that the man who has ruled Chechnya with an iron first since 2007 might be getting ready to depart for a better world. He appears to be doing his best to ensure that after he dies, his family is well placed among the future elite of the republic. Following his stay in hospital last year, Kadyrov promoted his eldest daughter Aishat (25 years old) to the position of the republic’s vice prime minister and his 18-year-old son Akhmat to minister for youth affairs. Meanwhile, his 15-year-old son Adam has become his head of personal security. Kadyrov himself started his ascent to power from that role almost 30 years ago when he served as his late father Akhmad’s bodyguard.
Reports of Kadyrov’s ailing health echo rumours that have been circulating in Chechnya for some time. Even though Chechens can’t openly discuss Kadyrov’s imminent death, it is a subject that is bubbling away below the surface. Many are guessing who might replace him and what that would mean for them. Prospective candidates in the running to succeed Kadyrov include the Duma MP Adam Delimkhanov, Chechen parliamentary chair Magomed Daudov, and the commander of Kadyrov’s ‘Akhmat’ special forces in Ukraine Apti Alaudinov. All are members of Kadyrov’s inner circle and are no less dictatorial than he is.
How much longer until Russia is a Muslim nation?
