here's what i don't understand:

signed in feb 2020. what did trump do during that time forward to extricate our shit and people? only thing i read was Goebels errr stephen miller's racism against the brown people led the trump gov't to do hardly anything. like our translators and "friends" that were sure to be executed by the taliban

you can't occupy a sovereign nation for 20 years and expect to pull out in a few months IMO
Trump had no problem with dumping the Kurds. Why would this be any different? They are the same color and pray to the same god.

So Manchin is basically just a Republican that is allowing the Democrats to use his seat to keep power away from McConnell at this point it seems with his bullshit Republican (not insurrectionist but normal R) talking points. I like the term conservative Democrat, it really explains it well.
He is what we used to call a Blue Dog. Not very many left.

It’s not like they didn’t do anything. They halted visas for Afghani interpreters.
just like they halted any new SSDI applications..Trump was going to make that Trust Fund his and we stopped him just in time.

holy shit!..i have an account at WaPo! :shock: i wrote to them and said that Bezos is getting plenty of money through my account with Amazon and if they really believe Democracy dies in Darkness..they'd waive the $1 fee..i guess they did!

everyone who subscribes to Amazon should have WaPo free..it'll make up for the shitty, used items that are sent to me from their warehouse.

Jim Banks (R-IN) just tried to attack Milley on the book and fell flat on his face trying to whip up false rage.

It is funny the Republican idiot tried to stand up for the Chinese cultist rag 'Epoch Times'. He even slipped up and called the Jan 6 hugs and kisses accurately a riot.

Being critical of Biden means your an anti American terrorist right wing troll. Not much different of being critical of Trump only a few years ago if you replace left with right...
"Murica"


Posting selectively edited propaganda click bait by Rupert Murdoch's Sky New is good evidence of one though.

Regional powers rally behind Taliban's request for humanitarian aid
Ten Asian and the Middle Eastern powers are backing the Taliban in calling for Afghanistan to receive humanitarian aid through a United Nations donor conference, and suggesting the U.S. and its allies foot most of the bill, Reuters reported.

During talks held in Moscow on Wednesday, countries including Iran, China, Russia and India urged the U.N. to consider convening a summit to avoid an economic and humanitarian crisis, the wire service noted.

"Nobody is interested in the complete paralysis of an entire state, which borders, among other things, the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States)," Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, said, according to Reuters.

The 10 countries, however, made clear that the brunt of the humanitarian aid should be paid by the U.S. and its allies given their involvement in the Afghanistan war.

“[T]he main burden...should be borne by the forces whose military contingents have been present in this country over the past 20 years,” the countries said, according to the news outlet.

On Wednesday afternoon, White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked whether the administration felt the talks in Moscow were helpful.

"Obviously, our focus remains working with like-minded countries and parties around the world to ensure that we are sending a clear message to the Taliban about the expectations that there is freedom for people to depart Afghanistan, that we are allowed to have flights in, get humanitarian assistance to the right people," Psaki said.

"That’s what we’ve been working through with the U.N. on and working through with 100 countries around the world," she added.

Countries have avoided officially recognizing the Taliban as the legitimate government, even as they pursue various levels of engagement with the military regime. The U.S. has emphasized repeatedly that it will not take the insurgent group by its word but by their actions.

The Associated Press reported earlier this month following talks between a U.S. delegation and senior Taliban representatives that the U.S. would not be recognizing the Taliban, but would be provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.

They (countries) are comedians now. They would not help stabilize the country for 20 years and now expect to pass the bill along again.

US and its allies Invaded and then lost. Reparations are normal in war if the instigator lost.

This is not stolen funds. The Taliban may get it back yet. But it is being held for a government that respects the rights of people whether they be male, or female. The Taliban has said they are a kinder, gentler Taliban then the previous one. But words are easy to come by, actions speak louder. So far they have not seemed to have changed their spots all that much. The money will still be availible for them once they have shown they can behave like a modern government. It has not been stolen.
