Just... yikes. Let me list off some Taliban highlights for you:
These are not stable people. They are drug traffickers, kidnappers for profit, slavers, employers of child soldiers, rapists and mass murderers, who justify their criminal behavior with religious extremism.
They are not a government. They are the chaos. They are the bloodshed. Nothing good can come of legitimizing their rule.
How much you wanna bet those upvotes are coming from lemmy world and sh.ithole
You're the only one talking about the US.
You may want to double check your facts. If I were you, thankfully I am not, I would take the defeat and move on. No one wants what the West is selling, you had 20 years and 2.3 trillion dollars to prove your point and you failed.
If you considered Vichy Afghanistan to be stable. It clearly crumbled immediately.
