I guess we all share that pessimistic view. But how exactly would setting up a Taliban reign help destroy poppy fields, kill pedos and so on? They like to marry under age of 10 and their main source of income is drugs.
Mujahid told the La Repubblica newspaper that the Taliban "care a lot about the 'One Belt, One Road' project. We own rich copper mines, which, thanks to the Chinese, will be modernised. Finally, China represents our ticket to the markets around the world".
It also represents the hard land connection necessary to rapidly move resources from China to Iran, and vice versa.
I can not forgive anyone genuinely stupid enough to believe the Taliban are the good guys. Such people are too easily deceived, and they represent nothing of value to our path forward.
Under the taliban, the poppy fields were illegal. They were replanted the minute American troops took over - and were patrolled and protected by our forces for the last 20 years.
Bullshit. Taliban are hard core ISLAMISTS who've made their money by DRUG TRADE. How's that in the plan?!?
We have a bigotry of low expectations when it comes to the middle east. Frankly I share it.

I can't believe this movement has come to looking the other way in the name of relativism.
Yeah, we have our problems but we don't establish laws to imitate a prophet marrying kids hundreds of years ago ffs!
This is how you know this board has been infiltrated by clowns.
Anybody with fucking sense would agree that the Taliban are NOT the good guys.
Instead? You actually see people here stupid enough to defend them. Those are not Patriots. Those are mental retards and bad actors.
The Taliban is now working with China to establish new infrastructure through Afghanistan.
