European Union officials say they have a “tremendous consensus” among themselves in not recognizing the Afghan Taliban as the government of Afghanistan, citing a bad economic and food situation there.
In 2021, after decades of US occupation, the Taliban routed pro-government forces and overran the country, becoming the de facto state. Since then, there’s not been any substantial resistance.
The US is comfortable with that, and says they are warning against showing any violent opposition to the Taliban, preferring stability in Afghanistan.
As far as recognition goes, both the US and Russia are withholding judgment for the time being. The EU may say no, but the Taliban seems set to go back to the pre-9/11 status quo, and the US at least seems roughly comfortable with that.
God forgive them, but not me. The U.S and its NATO Gnomes invade and occupy Afghan land killing tens of thousandsand crank up opium production more than a thousand percent. Then sneak out in the middle of the night with all their money frozen. Why did this invasion occur. The Afghans never attacked the U.S…. What gave the the U.S. and NATO any right to invade and occupy Afghanistan, and loot the banks…???????
Not only that, they looted the banks and stole all their money. But the best part, as the Afghans starve, the bastard Biden takes 7.5 billion to set up a fund for the families of 911 victims with the starving Afghan”s money.. Is the U.S. so broke they have to loot these countries they invade and occupy…????? Is there anyone out there that can explain how, or WHY the U.S. and NATO can rob these poor people they have been killing and occupying for going on twenty years?????????
Neocon-landia has, at all costs, to keep up the fiction of their 9/11 atrocity. The Taliban are outlandish enough, despite all the facts, to fit the patsy role quite nicely.
Robert, I assume you mean the “9-11” to which all facts point to being an inside job!
Yes, the Mother of a whole lotta Noble Lies, but we’re not allowed to say it, right?
Especially the “Dancing Israelis”, Robert!
So broke that the we have to seize Iranian ships carrying oil, then sell the product in the open market. Plain old fashioned piracy.
👏👏👏
Of course, the EU is the pinnacle of democracy!!! Unelected, overpaid, vicious attackers of Russia, deniers of free speech (I live in France and cannot access Russian news and just found that “my search engine,QWANT” is supporting Ukraine while telling me it respects my privacy!) We are all paying to help destroy Ukraine, which is continuing because of the lies of Ursula vonderlying(sic) and her subservience to the USA insisting on “sanctioning Russia” and making a wreck of the “EU”.
I’m sure the Taliban is crying, regretting there are no foreign armies in their country now. /s
Send EU some of their finest heroin and they’ll place Afghanistan as the most civilized developing country status.
