When the First World collapses, the Third World dies.
This is just the first domino of the Great Reset.
What economy?

Support them? Why? Doesn’t someone own or market their minerals?
No foolin’? Huh... I wonder who could have predicted that...
You know... besides literally everyone with a working forebrain that passed their Econ 101 course.
Looks like Afghanistan is missing US money and had reverted to being Afghanistan again.
Let them sell some of the “donated” US equipment.
Job Interview…..
“Abdul, tell us some of your skills.”
“I can shoot at Americans.”
“Anything else?”
“I can yell at sheep.”
“Any hands-on experience?”
“I can blow up girls schools.”
“Maybe we can find you something with the Democrat party.”
The poppy crop must have failed.
So?
That’s the Taliban’s problem.
Not our circus. Not our monkeys.
Let all the Muslim nations help Afghanistan. They wanted us out. Fine. Now it’s their responsibility.
exactly. Keep their migrants out of the West, leave them alone, don't mess with their internal politics, let China loan them $Billions which will never be repaid, and eventually, they will find a suitable equilibrium.
Neah.
Heroin has been replaced Fentanyl at a fraction of the cost.
The Taliban needs welcome the Chicoms in to exploit their resources. That will fixe everything. *evil laughter*
it’s like we are in a race with them to see who crashes first...
Don’t care.
Not one little bit.
