American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a CNN interview on Sunday that the administration of President Joe Biden “can work with and recognize” a Taliban government in Afghanistan that respects women and “doesn’t harbor terrorists.”

The Taliban, the jihadist organization that ruled Afghanistan prior to the U.S. invasion of that country in 2001, completed its takeover of the country on Sunday, surrounding Kabul and negotiating the departure of the previous Afghan government. Ex-President Ashraf Ghani reportedly fled Sunday after delivering a bizarre televised speech in which he claimed to be working to regroup the Afghan military to fight the Taliban. Thousands of Afghan troops had deserted and fled into neighboring countries at the time of his claim.

Biden (his handlers) are IDIOTS!

The Taliban will make NO concessions after they perceive they just kicked our ass.

Next they will just blow up our undefended, woke, military classrooms.

This is like letting Ted Bundy out of prison after a couple of years of good behavior.

Democrats are delusional by nature. That's what Woke is all about.

Translation: They are negotiating the amount of the ransom paid to the Taliban to allow the remaining American civilians and the 5,000 brave young American soldiers and Marines deployed at the last moment to safely withdraw.

Let me see if I understand. As long as they don’t “act” like the Taliban, we can work with them. (Does he realize how disconnected from reality this sounds? Sorry. Stupid question.)

The Taliban are committed to Islam. When they were in power before 2001, they were committed to what they called “pure Islam”. Women had no rights then. What makes anyone think that the Taliban now suddenly have some westernized view of women’s rights?

And they had terrorist training camps and gave safe haven to terrorists before. Has that changed, or has the ongoing mission of Islam to dominate the world and kill infidels changed?

Just you wait. The Taliban will pretend to agree with all of Biden’s demands (and the key word there is “pretend”).

Then the next thing you know, we’ll be sending them all sorts of “humanitarian aid”. Your tax dollars at work.

This all makes sense if you accept the premise that Joseph Stolen is a Mooslim jihadi.
