I heard that there are talks of diplomatic recognition for the Taliban that will result in a Taliban embassy in London with the associated layers of support staff. Edited by Orange1290 (30 Aug 2021 11.39am)

Although a Taliban Embassy would be many years away, I foresee something like this (see photo)

They use social media and make deals with more than just pakistan. That said, they are about to wipe out all the progress....well, mostly progress, that the west made in the last twenty years. Then again, to be fair, the numbers in Afghanistan prepared to fight for western values is far exceeded by those willing to fight against them. It's a lesson that the west seems to have trouble understanding. Western values aren't quite universal....definitely not when exported. Soft power is far more effective when dealing with different cultures.

Well biden doesn't think he's gone. Apparently it is trumps fault what happened in Afghanistan so when it suits I'm sure it's OK to use past leaders. It's children's tv politics isn't it. Anything bad, blame on their hate figure Trump. Anything good, take credit.....mind you there has been precious little of that. Everything the Democrats touch turns to crap.

They might pull someone off the street, Saudi styly, and chop them up inside after torturing them- then go to Boris to buy some ammo for the tanks we left behind ! If it"s good enough for our Saudi friends and business partners, it"s good enough for the tally!

Ha! A troll with a high opinion of himself. While you are somewhat amusing, I've yet to see you type up anything with any gravitas that would support such a self image. It just comes across like a bitter, parasitic 'Dunning-Kruger' type tirade against anything European run.
