Don't forget funny cause it shows how the taliban are just to stupid to live and to dumb to let a outdated form of government to die. Cause their government just doesn't work by itself in this day and age. It would have worked 1k years ago. But today, even Saudi Arabia, cannot function by itself and needs outside help.

It always comes down to money. The same reason why most countries recognise China over Taiwan, despite Taiwan having an elected government, and why some countries recognise Israel, but not Palestine.

[@justinjoseph8491]

What does Taiwan having an elected government have to do with recognition? The reason why Taiwan is no longer considered China is because most people have long since accepted the result of the Chinese revolution and there is really no way for the old government of China to retake control of mainland China. Palestine isn't recognised because it was apart of the Ottoman empire and technically not a country, and when that empire fell and Britain took control, Britain decided to recognise Israel as a state within the area of Palestine as Zionist had been buying land in the area for years and intended on creating a state. Palestinians rejected this and didn't want there to be two states, and so they never got an officially recognised state.

Suppose that in 1948 white European Zionists had announced that they were going to steal over half of Britain or France to form their own country and that the native people already living there had to get out of the way. Would the British or French people have meekly accepted that? Of course not. No people in the world would meekly accept that. So it's ridiculous to complain about Palestinians refusing to accept the theft of over half their land when no people in the world would accept that. And it's especially ridiculous to expect the Palestinians to accept that when they have lived continuously in Palestine for at least 3,700 years, far longer than most British or French people have lived on their lands.

How do you calculate the 1.5 million figure? Civilian death tolls are generally numbered at approx. 100,000 direct deaths, maybe as many as 600k excess mortality. Taking the former figure though as more certain, if 50% are women and girls, that’s 50,000. A catastrophically high death toll nonetheless. Nonetheless, there’s still a clear difference between the taliban and the US, and you’re being disingenuous to pretend not to see it. Even if the result of the US invasion was actually detrimental to women’s rights and caused a great many deaths, it’s still true that the US promoted women’s rights whilst present and tried to target its policies to help women and girls. It promoted education and employment for women and spent billions in aid to that effect. The Taliban are clearly not doing the same and although they claim to be acting for the benefit of women, you’d have to be foolish to think that their opinion of women is anything other than degrading, dehumanising and oppressive. The US is no saint, it’s awful, but a comparison to the Taliban is a false equivalence

Here's a realistic perspective for you Honestly I don't think this is simply an act by the Taliban to oppress women. I think the reason is to ensure that economy goes well and there's a higher birth rate . They are surrounded by enemy nations. If they want to succeed long term they need a strong military as well and for that they need a high number of disposable young men. Who gives birth to those men? Women . So basically I think the reason it's not simply out of misogyny but to ensure a young fighting population and also a stable economy. Afganistan it's not technologically advanced and the best way to increase economically would be to ensure also that the people who can work the most get the jobs which are men. Women get pregnant therefore they are a potential economic risk. Best thing to do in such a economic situation would be to divide gender roles strictly. Don't believe me? Just look at when feminsim occurred in many countries. When the economy was sufficiently already booming by the male workforce. This has been done several times in history. There's no reason why can't be done again. These people aren't stupid. They know what they are doing. So considering the need for young people to fight in case of invasion and need for economic groth this seems the most logical solution countrywise. You can't have gender equality while being both at war(potentially) and economically struggling.

[@theanarkiddie4569]

Wtf? There are so many reasons this is wrong: A) if you starve the population, it’s true that they are likely to overthrow you. But it’s hardly like they then replace you with an open, free and fair democracy? They just replace you with the next dictator, trapping you in a cycle of political instability, which in turns lowers economic output, making improving your standard of living or becoming a democracy almost impossible. This is what has happened to many African nations for decades and it is why it is so hard to break the cycle of political instability once it has begun. Even a stable dictatorship/authoritarian regime is preferable to a revolving door of new civil wars and new dictators coming in and out every couple years. As difficult as it is a pill to swallow, a stable taliban regime will be better for the population of afghanistan than a civil war - which could only result in a new dictator. B) you’re talking about millions of people starving - and you “don’t see a reason to care”. I can’t even comprehend how callous and immoral you’re being. I have great faith in people, but you make me sick. You need to develop a sense of empathy. I can understand that there may be many valid approaches to how to handle the humanitarian situation, but “not caring” isn’t one of them. That’s awful.

I will have an unpopular opinion here, but I don't really see any alternative to diplomatically engaging with the Taliban government. Sanctions don't work, so keeping up the lack of recognition only means that Afghans are suffering now because of it. Afghans are currently lacking diplomatic support at home and abroad (which makes it harder for them to get asylum...), they are suffering under Western sanctions and lack of humanitarian aid that have partly led to famine. Our principled stance on human rights is not helping the human rights of Afghans right now, we have to get away from virtue signalling and actually make the lives of Afghan people better, even if it means to make some really shady deals and tolerate the Taliban government.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately there is a huge chunk of every Western government which is devoted to giving our money away and it's difficult to reduce the size of any government department. I do think that we need to drastically reduce foreign aid substantially. Foreign aid is a tool to get the recipient governments to do what we want and is not a right of the recipient, be that the government, an organisation or the people. The West has no duty of care to the rest of the world. I repeat: zero, zilch, nada. We used to be much smarter about foreign aid and we need to return to this. I think that cutting all foreign aid to zero for a few years and then only turning it back on selectively and at a much smaller scale would actually improve the way we are viewed by the recipients as currently we are viewed as the fools which we are. A benefit of doing this is that our own government would then have the funds to assist their own people for a change. I can only dream that our leaders come to their senses.

Tragic. The Taliban are stuck in some past century and even if they use modern technology to help them oppress people they're still not going to let the country advance into the 19th century, let alone the 21st century. Though unfortunately 20 years of American intervention and many years of Soviet intervention before that didn't change the trajectory for Afghanistan so outside force also doesn't seem able to change the nature of things in Afghanistan. In 2101 when the rest of the world world moves into the 22 century Afghanistan will almost certainly still be stuck in the same ancient century that it's stuck in now.
