No country has so far officially recognized the Taliban as Afghanistan’s government due to their hard-line policies. The drastic erosion of women’s rights continues.
Interesting how the article fails to mention the $7 billion that the US looted from the Afghan central bank when they pulled out.
Probably because it was the USAs money in the first place. You can’t loot your own checking account.
It’s weird that you would assume something incorrect like that, when you can just google it and find that the money was
the reserves of Afghanistan’s commercial banks and ordinary people’s savings
It’s literally the business and personal savings of the Afghani people, inaccessible to them for over 2 years now.
Bro, you must be living in lala land if you think for a micro second that the Taliban would let the Afghan people keep that money.
They would instantly take the money and buy more bombs and weapons that would hurt more people. Probably buy them from Russia or North Korea. Make it worse for Ukraine.
So the US pulls out knowing what will happen but then also don’t want the new government to have any money since they’ll misuse it, feels like the US is also fucking the Afghani people over at least a little bit?
What are they supposed to do?
It’s only banks located in the USA.
Even if your cartoonish depiction of the Taliban was true, it is not a good justification for the US to freeze all of the bank accounts in Afghanistan.
First of all, it’s not all banks. It’s Afghan banks located in the United States. Secondly, they are far from being cartoonish.
Not really. They no longer have an enemy to worry about, they’d have no need for any type of heavy armament beyond border defense. They already have more than enough small arms.
Otherwise they would have properly repaired and reused the massive amount of vehicles left behind by the USA (they did a few to show off).
They wanted to be left alone and they got their wish, which is why they don’t even bother to attempt with being recognized.
I think there was even a rumor that Mullah Omar kept the nation’s finances under his bed instead of a bank because it was that trivial of an issue for him.
Man, do you automatically spit lies like that? I bet you’re a zionist.
You misspelled “Realist”.
Well Russia actually received a delegation in Moscow recently, iirc
China officially welcomed a Taliban diplomat recently.
Don’t worry, plenty of online leftists will still tell you how sweet and wholesome the Taliban is, or play “Whatabout” games.

DW being regarded left-center is so utterly ridiculous, it defies comprehension. According to this, basically anyone who is not a foaming at the mouth QAnon freak is left wing. This crap should really be banned from Lemmy. Nothing but disinformation.
No but you see, telling the truth is leftist.
That’s the fun part. To be right wing with the amount of information and data we have is to reject reality altogether for the one you want, not the one you have. It’s not really the fault of the fact checker that right wing has become “insane person”. That’s good ol humanity and right wing becoming an outdated idea no longer worth having.
Can you stop with this crap?
Just block them if you dont want to see it
That’s not the point. This bot is making Lemmy a worse place.
Im curious, is your objection that having a bot that doed bias checking is bad for Lemmy or do you disagree with how the bot rates places?
I don’t really pay attention to the bot ratings but I get the impression from other peoples comments its primarily the latter.
Both.
Being told what to think isn’t great, especially when the person telling us what to think isn’t qualified and makes glaring errors every time.
Lol, a simple script is beating you by simply existing. No, don’t use the tools provided for you to remove the blight. Comment at the bot, it surely will feel regret.
The guy in the picture is giving me “what kind of
americanAfghan are you?” vibes, e g. Jesse Plemons’ character in Civil War
