Like, I'm just your average rube but isn't it obvious that China is not going to abide to any US sanctions without getting a ridiculously huge bribe? Right now they must be on the phone with the Taliban negotiating a loan to cover the accounts that has been frozen.

At this point it is more likely that the US is going to sanction Chinese mining and construction firms going into Afganistan. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 00:03 on Aug 20, 2021 |

The United States has nothing but violence left to export and after this embarrassment they are probably itching to win a fight.

That description of the Taliban really proves that the US government, intelligence, and general populace has absolutely no idea about the history of Islamic thought or where modern fundamentalist movements came from. Absolutely no understanding of basic facts, and while it's easy to say it's because Trump made everything post-truth, it's always been this way. LMAO.

Nbc national news said the taliban was letting people into the airport but it was still dangerous because their idea of crowd control was shooting over people's heads. P sure they showed American troops doing the exact same thing a few days ago, but propaganda machine go brrr.

According to Doug Laux, former CIA case officer, they didn't even have anyone who spoke Pashto in the entire country in the late 2000s  And he said he found out about some local important figure dying before the agency did just because he picked up a Pakistani newspaper and could read it. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250116888
