Isn’t that the same logic as McCain working with the “freedom fighters” in Syria that some of them turned out to be ISIS? I hate the Taliban. They blew up the guy who we were working with before we invaded Afghanistan. I just can’t understand ANYBODY giving these animals legitimacy. But I may be crazy but not stupid. I still think it was pencil necked Jared that put the Taliban meeting together. Not good. I love Trump but his son in law is a punk.
No, it’s not the same. For one thing Trump is not McCain. And “the Taliban” isn’t one cohesive group, there’s multiple factions claiming the title.
The alternative is to leave Afghanistan without us exerting any influence over who controls the place. We don’t want another Afghan government letting the next Osama bin Laden set up camp there like last time.
