Someone is desperate for weapons and warm bodies…
Hey Russia, you’re now on the terrorist list yourself!
It obviously reeks of desperation. Would Taliban forget how Putin was friendly with the West, and allowed US through their airspace in order to invade Afghanistan in 2002?
And Taliban initially denounced the 2022 invasion.
But since then their leaders were invited into Russia several times (while being on the list) and stroke some deals it seems.
“stroke some deal”.
Heh.
Am I supposed to be surprised?
They’re too busy for international terrorism now they’re running the country. They only have time for domestic.
Russia’s foreign ministry and security service “are putting finishing legal touches” on the removal, said Kamulov, adding that the final decision will “hopefully” be announced soon.
“We once again appeal to Western countries with an urgent call to acknowledge responsibility for the post-conflict reconstruction of Afghanistan, lift sanctions restrictions, and return Kabul’s appropriated assets,” he said during the opening remarks of the meeting, where Taliban’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi had also been present.
Russia has slowly been normalizing relations with the Taliban after it seized power in Afghanistan in 2021 following the withdrawal of the U.S. forces after 20 years of war. Since then, the Taliban has imposed harsh restrictive laws on women in particular, including banning them from speaking in public.
No international government has recognized the Taliban administration, but China and United Arab Emirates have accepted its ambassadors in their capitals.
Sometimes you need terrorist supporting each other
What are they expecting? “Oh, we’re off the list now? Yeah, we cool.”
