#1 Dostum makes an appearance. How nostalgic. He is like the Kevin Costner or Harrison Ford of warlords. It seems like there ought to be a senior tour for warlords to compete against each other after they are past their primes.

It is also good to see that the Brookings Institute is still spewing totally objective analysis to help us make quality real world political decisions like deciding to support the Taliban because there just aren’t any other viable alternatives in their estimation. So we should just support the Taliban and get over our non-Globalist Western bias against subjugating women, medieval codes of punishments and fostering Jihad. Is there a better way to protect the Liberal Western Order than to Venmo some cash to a brutal regime that makes the Amish look progressive?

#2 I remember when lots of people thought Dostum was going to save the world.
