Taliban officials “expect” President Joe Biden to reopen the U.S. Embassy in Kabul despite U.S. insistence that future diplomatic relations will depend on Taliban behavior.

“America should have only a diplomatic presence in Kabul,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Tuesday , per an Afghan media outlet. “We have communication channels with them, and we expect them to reopen their embassy in Kabul, and we also want to have trade relations with them.”...

That’s what I was thinking. These tali whackers are giving orders, like they run the place. Well, with all those hostages, maybe they do. The rat 🐀 bastards.

Trade relations = one American hostage for one GITMO prisoner.

Guaranteed CNN is still there, if not other media outlets.

In the spirit of his fabulously successful withdrawal from Afghanistan, an absolute triumph!, Joe should make a show of good faith to the new, politically correct Taliban.

Send Pete Buttigieg to Kabul as US Ambassador! He can proudly fly the Gay Pride Flag at the Embassy. Pete and his partner will no doubt be the toast of the Diplomatic Corps in Kabul with their FABULOUS parties!

Biden will do as is expected of him. And the Taliban expect nothing but the best behavior from Biden.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and play devil’s advocate. This could be a big break, in that by opening trade relations with the Taliban, we can:

1) Getting our people, and all others that we can, out of the country.

2) Perhaps we could even effect social change, and help to moderate the Taliban.

3) a corollary of #2, is that we may be able to entice them from allowing ISIS, Al Queda from training and preparing to attack America from Afghanistan.

4) Side track all of the grand designs of China.

Sometimes, when life gives you lemons, you look for the positive, such as lemonade.

You may be right, for as long as we were there, they were focused on when we left.

At this point it seems they got everthing they wanted, now they want us back to balance against China.

Could just be.

i’d suggest alq and tali are two feathers on one bird, one feather a little closer to the poo hole
social change? they’re cutting the tongues out of the mouths of interpreters. They’re distributing ‘night letters’ telling people they’re dead. They’re killing people for playing music. and they’re dragging girls out of their mother’s homes. I don’t see social change catching on any time this century or next in the tally man

Can they send Harris there to fly the Gay Flag, to see if that can help the Taliban ‘appreciate diversity’?

“We have communication channels with them, and we expect them to reopen their embassy in Kabul, and we also want to have trade relations with them.”

We want to cut out the middle man and sell out heroine directly to the American consumer.
