20 years of war in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban to successfully hand over the country to the Taliban. Well done, Coalition of the Willing.
At least the Afghan opium poppy fields were ‘liberated’.

Perhaps if the Taliban converts to Judaism, someone might care about what they are doing, but the sad fact is that their regime is exactly what the useful idiots of the West are supporting and want for the Palestinians.

This was always the outcome after negotiating a withdrawal with religious fundamentalist terrorists.
Look up Project 2025 for the Western version.
Yes, you guessed it, Trump is neck deep in all of the above.

For those who either didn’t read or comprehend the article (to be fair it WAS a junk headline) Australia is not providing money to the Taliban or Afghani government. Money for food, medicine, protection of women/girls etc is directed through Humanitarian bodies.

At some point we have to just admit that we lost the war and our attempt to impose ideological change on a country that preferred theological continuity completely failed. When the Taliban came back most peacefully accepted the transition despite being armed to resist, in fact many in the security forced didn’t just surrender they turned coats.

We should be worried about our own backyard.
