#2
We can be woke to, folks.
Way woker than you!
We shall stop the glacial melt
and the nasty summer loo.

And these insolent gerbils
will not boil and bubble,
when we plug every living arse
personally, from Herat to Kabul.

/\ Uhuhuh how about exterminating Taliban? They are nothing but biological hazards.

Exterminate the TB? Exterminate our newest Military Industrial Complex (MIC) client and tribal parters? They deserve those M4's. You on the other hand, must have your M4 taken away !

Those expensive Handheld Interagency Identity Detection (HIIDE) systems will assist the Taliban with their COVID and JAB data base.

#6 When they've killed or cowed everybody on that DB, maybe they'll wipe it and can use those things to catalogue all their concubines.

Too bad there was no nifty gadget to catch traitors in the ANSDF.

#7 to catalogue all their concubines

#10 The Taliban are being coached by the Chinese and by the State Department in green virtue signaling.
China will buy the Lithium and other rare earth minerals used in the manufacture of batteries and other green technologies from Afghanistan so the Taliban can have a cash flow of billions of dollars a month in order to finance its global war of terrorism.
China will process the mineral ores to produce the pure rare earth elements.
China will use these rare earth elements in the manufacture of batteries and other green technologies in order to sell to the rest of the world and become the largest economy in the world.
The Democrats will pass the three trillion dollar infrastructure bill so the US can invest billions of dollars in green batteries and other green technologies so the US can be clean and non-polluting and help fight global warming.
Of course most of the billions of dollars of green infrastructure will be purchased from the Chinese because the Taliban will not sell their rare earth minerals to the US.
Besides the US cannot manufacture green technologies here in the US because the elements used in the manufacture of green technologies like batteries are toxic and are not environmentally friendly and environmental regulation and mitigation required in the US is prohibitively expensive.
So all green manufacturing and green recycling has been sent overseas to pollute and to change the micro-climates of other countries and not our own.
NIMBY and out of site, out of mind.
So most of the 3 trillion dollar green infrastructure bill investment will end up going overseas to our arch enemies China and the Taliban.
After all climate change is the real global threat, much more than the global threat of terrorism from the Taliban.
And the thousands of American hostages being left behind in Afghanistan will be in the good green hands of the Taliban.
Meanwhile under cover of the Kabul hostage crisis Nancy Pelosi is hard at work getting that 3 trillion dollar infrastructure bill passed without a single Republican vote so that the "green cycle of violence" can really begin when the real money starts to flow in the trillions.

#12 Given Afghanistan's climate I don't know why they oppose climate change - just about any change would be an improvement.

#13 ...just about any change would be an improvement

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, the 7th Century.
