taliban to point out or a good taliban unfortunately does not exist. revealing a group as a dogmatic and repressive as ever. their actions indicate a willingness to collectively punish the entire population of afghanistan leading the country to the brink of further bloodshed, a safe haven for terrorism. second, the escalating threat of terrorism. since august 2021, afghanistan has transformed into a heaven for regional and international terrorists and terrorism. over 21 terrorist networks are operating within the country. with thousands of foreign terrorist fighters receiving protection and assistance from the taliban. you have all seen the search in terrorist activities across the region, especially in the neighboring countries. reason being, the taliban is a role model for all of those terrorist groups. the recent tragic event that happened in pakistan. many innocents lost their lives in the act of terrorism. just in the past few days. that shows that the continuation of the current situation of afghanistan will further destabilize the region and our

even though it has been three years since the taliban took over, the anti— taliban opposition is in completeg ethnic lines, they have not developed a coherent unified position among themselves. there are various groups, hundreds of different groups, but they need to come together and they would have a stronger voice if they spoke with one voice, but that simply is not happening, so unfortunately, i think the taliban is going to be with us for a long time to come. looking at it from a us perspective, what about the tens of thousands of us allies who are still in afghanistan, who did not make it out and their families. what is their fate? i think this is one of the reasons the us maintained lines of communication with the taliban, because they are still able to work with the taliban to relocate afghans outside of afghanistan, as well as, you know, they either allies and partners, so it is still happening, planes are still living with people who want to get out of afghanistan, it is at slow pace and if there are still people who are in danger, human rights workers, people that worked with the p

can get the taliban to reverse course in anyway?ong as it doesn't do anything outside of afghanistan whatever they do that uses anything, it's ok for them. and i think that has been the attitude towards afghanistan so far for the past three years. and it's going to continues because the u.n. literally brought them into exact qatar and talked to them without recognizing and bring that up to women. that has happened. they have offices being recognized in all these countries. so i think the u.s. is complacent in many ways. like they don't want to even -- they're turning up like every time an ambassador is accepted. the u.s. doesn't say anything or do anything. i don't think their engagement will bring any changes either. >> when the taliban came back to power and they threatened you, we should point out which why you were forced to leave and i know you were reluctant at the time. we've spoken before and since. but when you look at what's happened under taliban rule in the last three years, do you ever think about what it would have mea

it was trump who allowed the taliban's outsized power.ed the threat of groups like isis-k and in case you heard trump claim he would've made sure that u.s. troops were not drawn down to such low levels so quickly, don't buy it. it was trump who brought troop numbers down to the historic low of 2500 from over 15,000. democrats have their share of blame, too. former president obama sent thousands of troops after president bush. what is really heartbreaking in all of this is that in all of this talk about the war in afghanistan and the withdrawal, we forget the biggest failure. both parties let down the people of afghanistan. they were sold the promise of a brighter future and instead they were handed a brutal u.s. occupation that took thousands of lives and ultimately resulted in the return of the taliban. what tractor supply customers experience is personalized service. made possible by t-mobile for business. with t-mobile's reliable 5g business internet. employees get the information they need instantly. this is how business goes further

against this background, the confrontation between the taliban and government forces intensified. as a result , afghan president ashraf ghani fled the country. and the taliban occupied kabul and gained control over almost the entire territory of afghanistan. well, the flight of the united states to afghanistan, my first impression was that soon there will be a new war. and this is what happened in ukraine, because they needed to close this case in order to move forces to new conflicts, this concept, we need to completely hold the middle east and at any cost because of that terrorist attack on september 11 , 2001, yes, this predigo may have disappeared, do not forget that our politicians said that we have a world war. against terrorism, as soon as something changed in russia, we no longer talk about it, even in english we say that putin killed covid or ended covid, yes, because the war is in ukraine closed this case, but people forget that putin also largely closed military conflicts in the middle east from the united states, because it became impossible to maintain activity in ira
