KABUL. July 27 (Interfax) - United States officials met with a delegation of the Taliban at an international conference on Afghanistan in Tashkent, U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Thomas West said on social media.

"Today, Rina Amiri (U.S. Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls & Human Rights) and I joined a range of Afghanistan envoys for a conference in Tashkent to discuss the way ahead at a difficult moment for millions of Afghans," West said.

A senior U.S. inter-agency team will continue "pragmatic engagement" with the Taliban on Wednesday, he said.

The U.S. Department of State said earlier that U.S. Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson would meet with the Taliban on July 27 to address economic issues.

The Taliban movement is designated as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia.

Offer them $10 billion for all our equipment left behind. While we’re at it give $4 billion to Viet Nam Kissinger promised. All the Vietnamese gang bangers in the US will have a place to deport to. $1k a month. Consider it a paid permanent vacation.

You don’t deal with the Taliban. You kill them.

That’s how I dealt with them.

I know this is cold, but after 20 years of failing to drag them into the 21st century, let them all die.

Did the Americans bow as low as Barack Obama did? He split his suit pants in back once, I heard.

Agreed!! However yesterday our treasury department met with them and they usually carry our checkbook.

I read somewhere weeks ago that were were giving the Taliban billions. We paid them off so we could give our attention to igniting the war flame in Ukraine because Russia said nyet to the Liberal Reset.
