What has been very obvious over the past few years (and going back even before that) is that international diplomacy with the Taliban is a game of bad cop/good cop in which the Taliban are the bad cops and the diplomats are the good cops. And we’re the suckers being played by the Taliban and their political allies.
Sometimes the mask drops. Like when Biden stole money from the families of 9/11 victims to send to the Taliban.
Or when officials from a UN delegation there to lobby the Taliban to be nicer to women posed in front of the Taliban flag.
The United Nations issued an apology after some of its officials were seen posing in front of the Taliban flag in Afghanistan.
The world body called it a “significant lapse in judgment”. A group of UN personnel were in Kabul to address the ban on women aid workers in the country.
The UN revealed on Friday that Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed made a rare visit to the southern part of the nation and expressed concerns to Taliban officials in Kandahar over violations of women’s rights
Mohammed then gave an interview to the Taliban’s pals at Al Jazeera claiming that progress was being made. She told other media outlets that the Taliban had “progressive” voices.
“I think there are many voices we heard, which are progressive in the way that we would like to go,” Mohammed told BBC. “But there are others that really are not.”
“I think the pressure we put in, the support we give to those that are thinking more progressively, is a good thing,” she said. “This visit, I think, gives them more voice and pressure to help the argument internally.”
This is the same scam they pulled with Iran, with the PLO, and with every Islamic terror group around. And, for that matter with the Communists and Nazis. Back in the 30s, Hitler was presented as a “moderate” Nazi. And, once again, people are falling for the lies because no one is talking about what’s going on. And those who are talking about it, are not being heard.
The media is mostly not talking about this. And when they are, it’s in the form of the agonized spin of this CBS News headline. “Top U.N. women’s visit to pressure Afghanistan’s Taliban on rights marred by security team’s poorly planned photo op.”
Poorly planned indeed. What’s the best way to plan a photo op with a Jihadist group?
When someone tells you who they are, believe them. The UN has spent a long time telling us exactly what it is, maybe it’s time we listened.
What is your serious malfunction? Why are you so f’ed up?
And you would offer, of course, counter facts to buttress your assertions? I would be interested to see those.
Yeah, me too. I don’t think he has any.
Not surprised since the UN are supporters of Terrorists who want to disarm us and open our nations borders
Greenfield does two blog posts a day and screws them up all the time. The guy gets paid in chicken tendies and is overcompensated.
Hillary always wanted a Foster child, but Vince “died.” At least she lets you use the computer. That’s better than some assisted homes.
Seriously. Why are you so deranged?
so you read him at least twice a day, because………?
“By “the mask drops” you of course mean that the United Nations is allied with the Taliban, in a common quest to conquer the world and impose an Islamist-Communist world order.”
That’s your take.
Mine is that the Left enables Islamic terror and violence. Why do they do it? You’d be in a better position to answer than I would.
Do some research in history prior to WWII. American socialists/communists (basically much of the left in this country) supported Hitler and were trying to keep the US out of the war in Europe. Of course, once Hitler did to Stalin what Stalin was planning to do to Hitler, violate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the American left kind of got a clue; at least about Hitler, they still worshiped Stalin.
Germany and the USSR were both revisionist nations seeking to overthrow the treaties resulting from World War 1. As such, they worked together, first with German rearmament and then with border changes. Naturally, the left agreed with that cooperation and only disagreed when there was competition. Much of the UN is in favor of revisionist policies. Revisionists seek to overthrow whatever order there is. They work together like muggers until they fight over the spoils.
That’s almost true. The Left did come to their senses like Stalin after a long hiatus once the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was violated. Stalin took a month to absorb the new facts on the ground. Then Stalin took some time to look around at his assets which were mostly Allied.
Roosevelt was key. An elite privilege dummy who thought he could charm Stalin. Stalin wasn’t charmed by very many people.
Maybe Hitler is was one of the few exceptions for Uncle Joe.
My “disagreed when there was competition” agrees with your “come to their senses.”
Other very special UN photo opportunities.
Because they really care about the womens. It’s not all just an opportunity to show that they’re trying to expunge the image they’ve internalised of themselves as Western schoolyard bullies. It’s so much more than that.
Typical web genius style argument – too bad it would fail on its face in a formal debate in any college. Cuz you made up a strawman. There is nothing new about socialists and marxists aligning to oppose the U.S. One could read the history of Shia political thought in the 20th century and see that is obviously so, for example. If you’d like a book recommendation, let me know. Then there are the Ba’athists who leveraged fascism, which was a non-marxist socialist movement. Then there is all the work on ‘social justice’ done by Sunnis to connect it with socialism. Or we could skip all that and notice the King of the Jihadis, the OG Jihadi is you will, was Yassir Arafat who was trained by communists in Moscow for three years before launching his campaign of terror backed by the commies in the USSR. I could go on and on and on and on and on.
So, as an argument, on its face you fail. But it’s even worse, cuz Greenfield did not aver it was some conspiracy. What he was referring to, I believe, is something called ‘issue convergence’, which is manufacture quite intentionally to align those who oppose U.S. interests and Western Civilization. Interest convergence is how coordinated action occurs without overt coordination.
Quick question for you: Does your IQ even tickle the three digit barrier?
I have seen pictures of UN Secretary general Coffee Cup Anana with Sadam and Castro
