I'm in favor of not getting into other Nations affairs, but I think think that this is a little ridiculous and cowardly of this administration. Yea, this is going to happen.
Price said that the "U.S. government would recognize a potential new government of Afghanistan so long as that government upholds rights, doesn't harbor terrorists, and protects the rights of women and girls."
aren't the Taliban already a terrorist group? So Biden doesn't want any new Terrorists to join the already existing ones.

They obviously want it over whatever system the United States has imposed for the last who cares how long.
You mean how part of America think they want socialism ? Mate just place yourself in there shoes for a moment , The Taliban rule through violence and religious Dogma . The Problem is the people of Afghanistan seem to have forgotten that , by the time they remember who the true oppressors are it will be to late and the knife will be at there throat.

I'm sure all the women hated being able to go to school and leave the house without a male escort and not having to be afraid of getting honor-killed for some neck skin showing.

I knew this BS in the middle east would flare up again as soon as Biden got back into real power. One of the primary reasons I supported Trump despite his massive ego was the fact he virtually eliminated ISIS in Syria and Iraq very rapidly, whereas the Obama-Biden admin officially supported the rebel opposition in Syria, despite it being obvious they fought along side ISIS and other terrorist groups to take down Assad. How out of your mind do you have to be to ask an Islamic extremist group to respect women's rights...

This is going to cost us for decades. We armed the most radical group of Muslims you can find. They now have a secure area for training and I suspect they will start with Europe. I predict the next huge terrorist attack will be France or Italy. And they will have no option to retailiate.

Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's working on articles of impeachment as President Joe Biden faces steep criticism over his administration's Afghanistan withdrawal strategy.
On Monday, Greene appeared on Real America's Voice' War Room Pandemic with host Steve Bannon, where she revealed that her team is currently drafting articles of impeachment against Biden.
"I have my team right now working on articles of impeachment," Greene said. "Because I'm so disgusted with Joe Biden. You know I've already filed one set of articles of impeachment. But his failure as a president is unspeakable."
Michael W. Ouellette
HOME OF RECORD:
Manchester, New Hampshire
AWARDS BY DATE OF ACTION:1 of 1
Navy Cross
AWARDED FOR ACTIONS
DURING Global War on Terror
Service: Marine Corps
Battalion: 3d Battalion
Division: 2d Marine Division
GENERAL ORDERS:
CITATION:
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Navy Cross (Posthumously) to Corporal Michael W. Ouellette, United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as the 2nd Squad Leader, 1st Platoon, Company L, 3rd Battalion 8th Marines (Reinforced), Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force- Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. On 22 March 2009, Corporal Ouellette was leading his squad on a combat patrol in Nowzad District, Afghanistan, when an improvised explosive device exploded beneath his feet, severing his left leg and spraying him with shrapnel. Following the explosion, he directed his squad to prepare a hasty defense while helping to treat his own injuries. Moments later, enemy fighters opened fire on his squad with assault rifles and machine guns from point blank range. Even as a Corpsman worked to stem his massive bleeding, Corporal Ouellette continued to direct the fire of his squad. When attack helicopters arrived, he coolly talked his radio operator through the employment of the aircraft as they made repeated strafing runs within 20 meters of the squad's position. These expertly-applied fires suppressed the enemy long enough for a fire team to link up with reinforcements and bring them forward to Corporal Ouellette's position. He held that position and continued to give orders to his squad as they fought, allowing himself to be evacuated only when the entire squad was ready to move out of the area. He continued to give directions to his team leader up until he was loaded into an ambulance, where he soon lost consciousness. He later succumbed to his wounds. By his bold leadership, wise judgment, and complete dedication to duty, Corporal Ouellette reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

In my country we actually have leaders of political parties saying that we cant be in a coalition with countries who just do whatever they want without even consorting with there "allies".
Iam suprised, cause not many years ago they where saying that if the USA told us to jump of a cliff, they would do it! (those who said that is not in goverment anymore lol, people voted them out after that)
I couldnt agree more, what is happening now in Afghanistan is horrible, and it is a decision made by the USA alone. Iam not suprised at all that none of the USA goverment wants to take responsibility and that they actually support the Taliban...
And iam also not gonna be suprised at all when the USA begins to lose its allies...

So, what happens when the Taliban proves that they are incapable and/or not willing to meet the Biden admin demands for recognizing them as a government?
We already know that the Taliban is...
1. Incapable of organizing a "united" or "representative" government that's willing to "protect the rights" of the people.
2. Unwilling to protect the "rights of women and girls".
3. Are not capable of adhering to the demand not to "harbor terrorists" because they ARE the terrorists.
Will the Biden admin accept them anyway?
