You are going to want to read more thoroughly the details of Operation Cyclone.
Pakistan got the weapons and funding from the United States. Brzezninski admits that the US actions in the region created the taliban.
Read the book Holy Wars Inc. the cia and state department wrote textbooks that encouraged racism and hatred towards non Muslim afghanistans.
The US created the social environment for the Taliban to thrive and also provided their weapons. Almost all of the taliban’s leadership came from leadership positions within the mujahedeen. An organization that was funded and empowered by the US.

America could up the ante and play the same game. That would clear up if it’s the weapons or the food that’s the prize.

They think women are unpure or bring sin due to sexual thoughts and would ruin their nice space.

More like, he accepted the risk of getting snatched up because he felt that reporting from inside Russia was valuable and worth the risk.

Are we just throwing words around that we don't understand? What's the blackmail? China has in fact already written off billions in loans already, if anything it's their own ledgers that are going into the deep red.

> The report said, the judge could cancel the bribery charge against Netanyahu and convict him on fraud and breach of trust - a potential resolution reportedly considered when former attorney general Avichai Mandelblit held plea bargain contacts with Netanyahu's lawyers in late 2021 to early 2022.
> Even those who favor mediation, the report said, consider the chances of the sides agreeing to it, and it ending quickly and successfully, to be "Not high," especially given the bad blood and mistrust between the sides.
> According to unconfirmed reports of the plea deal negotiations, Mandelblit was demanding that any plea deal with Netanyahu include a clause of "Moral turpitude" - which would bar Netanyahu from public office for seven years.

Vietnam or Afghanistan, which was worse! Find out in "random acts of imperialism battle." Some day Ukraine might have 1/10th the deaths of either of those.
The KGB did wield similar power, and together the CIA and KGB overthrew many democracies and killed a whole lot of people, directly and indirectly.

Reply to comment by Flightlessboar in Erdoğan says Putin may come to Turkey in late April by bildo72
If I were Erdogan I’d invite him and if Putin did come (which I’d doubt) I’d arrest Putin and bargain with the US and EU for more favorable treatment. I doubt Russia would DO anything other that have the next strongman talk about how stupid Putin was and withdraw back to post 2014 borders. Even just a “whoops my bad” kind of reaction and immediate withdrawal sans Crimea would probably take the wind out of the sails of Western support of Ukraine since the threat of genocide and further annexation would end.
Erdogan might even repair the damage to his image that came with mishandling the earthquake. Or get enough people forgetting about it that he maintains power.
This will never happen, but if Putin were dumb enough and Erdogan bold enough… the legal authority is there since Putin is wanted for war crimes.
