We execute people. If people behave, they won't be executed. If the women dress correctly, and treat their Taliban husbands right, they won't be whipped. Not my problem, thanks to Joe.

It was Trump who sidelined the Afghani government and negotiated with the Taliban. Even invited them to the WH. It was Trump who drew down the number of troops to 2500 just days before leaving office. Something that was never done. It was the Trump admin that basically refused to even talk to the Biden people about security and military matters during the transition as that ahole kept on denying that he lost the election.

Welcome back from your hiatus ... isn't the standard Western approach to destabilize the current government by hiring people locally to act as counter-revolutionaries and not babysit the whole country? Snipers could pick these guys off from within their own ranks - paid in phone cards or bitcoin. The women could poison each other's abusive husbands or put infrared beacons on them that could be activated for 20 minutes by a pulse train from what looks like an ordinary flashlight. Maybe those ones we tag are visited by a cruise missile for $250k or less by a visiting drone. Very old school - not one bit of it requires American troops.
