checks notes again
Taliban?.. In their denouncement of uhhhhhviolence on all sides.
Especially if by "it," you mean massive caches of weapons left behind in the panicked troop withdrawal.
well you see the Americans thought the Afghan army would knowingly fight to the death to save them from embarassment instead of saying "bugger this for a game of soldiers" and all going home.
which is an objectively based way of handling military service
Hi, this is just a friendly reminder to make sure you're drinking plenty of water, and don't forget to take any medications you might need. A lot of people are very stressed right now so please try to remain respectful and civil, regardless of which side you're on. Also, if you feel strongly about what's happening, make sure you're registered to :vote: and consider writing a letter to your congressperson.
Sincerely,
The Islamic Emirite of Afghanistan
It's really funny (not funny) how the Taliban just own a country and have to put out statements like this now
yeah but on the other hand the Taliban are better for afghanistan than decades of war
No doubt, but they also haven't, to my knowledge, really gotten a government up and running yet, what with the famine and US stealing their money, etc
from this they seem to be giving it the old college try (as I typed this I realised it's also a pun as taliban translates to students) and America couldn't set up a functioning Afghan government in over a decade
Again, this is true. Circumstances are fucking them. Lmao good pun
They even made a logo that looks like the ones used by American authorities
mofa is also the german word for a small moped, so this means "smol moped government as fuck"
no China has pretty much taken that position too. I read chinese news and they're annoyed with Russia and want both NATO and Russia to stop it. They're really being very reasonable about everything here

“What are the outcomes of sanctions? ... Since 2011, the US has imposed more than 100 sanctions against Russia. Evidently, imposing sanctions remains inefficient in resolving problems,” Wang said. “It will only severely worsen regional economics.”
In another article it says a few Chinese banks including Bank of China are already complying with US sanctions on Russia https://www.bloombergquint.com/global-economics/chinese-state-banks-restrict-financing-for-russian-commodities
Wasn’t talking about scmp specifically. Was saying I should have checked out some state sources
TFW the fucking Taliban of all organizations has the second-best take on Ukraine and Russia that I've read
(The best was PSL's absolute banger of a statement)
Here you go — I tried posting it to c/politics earlier but it didn't gain much traction, I think because Hexbear picked up the SoundCloud widget
imagine getting rolled at pr by the taliban, now that they have to put out normal state takes and shit
