Kurson received the pardon from Trump not long after federal prosecutors in Brooklyn charged him in October 2020 with cyberstalking related to his 2015 divorce. |

PrideofLincoln1:The so-called President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, fled the country with 4 cars, chopper full of cash. He was not given permission to land in Tajikistan, then he decided to go to Oman. Reuters quoted Russian news agency RIA to report that Ghani had to leave some money behind as it would not all "fit in". "Four cars were full of money, they tried to stuff another part of the money into a helicopter, but not all of it fit. And some of the money was left lying on the tarmac," Nikita Ishchenko, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Kabul, was quoted as saying by RIA. Ischenko cited "witnesses" as the source of his information. Ghani's current whereabouts are unknown. Reports claim that he is in Oman after Tajikistan denied the aircraft carrying him the permission to land. Reports also said that Ghani is headed to the United States. In a lengthy Facebook post just before leaving Afghanistan, Ghani had said on Sunday that he is doing so to avoid bloodshed.

benalvino3:---China already accepts the Taliban--- BEIJING (Kyodo) -- China on Monday expressed hope that the Taliban will establish a political structure that would lay the foundation for the realization of lasting peace in Afghanistan, effectively accepting its takeover of the Asian country. China wants the Taliban to "curb all kinds of terrorism and criminal acts as well as enable the Afghan people to stay away from war and to rebuild their beautiful homeland," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing. |

obixcel:---From the link you posted below---how is the collapse of the Afghan government, Biden's problem---yes he have underestimated the rapid turn of events--- The Taliban's stunning and rapid takeover of Afghanistan was the result not only of their battlefield strength, but also a sustained push to force surrenders and cut deals.The insurgents mixed threats and lures with propaganda and psychological warfare as they took city after city - some with barely a shot fired - eventually capturing the capital Kabul. How did this happen? Why didn't the Afghan army put up a fight? As foreign troops began their final withdrawal in May, Washington and Kabul were confident the Afghan military would put up a strong fight against the Taliban.With more than 300,000 personnel and multi-billion-dollar equipment more advanced than the Taliban arsenal, Afghan forces were formidable - on paper.In reality, they were plagued by corruption, poor leadership, lack of training and plummeting morale for years. Desertions were common and US government inspectors had long warned that the force was unsustainable. Afghan forces put up strong resistance this summer in some areas such as Lashkar Gah in the south, but they now faced the Taliban without regular US air strikes and military support. Faced with the smaller but highly motivated and cohesive enemy, many soldiers and even entire units simply deserted or surrendered, leaving the insurgents to capture city after city. How did the Taliban take advantage of low morale? The seeds for the collapse were sown last year when Washington signed a deal with the insurgents to withdraw its troops completely. For the Taliban, it was the beginning of their victory after nearly two decades of war. For many demoralised Afghans, it was betrayal and abandonment.They continued to attack government forces but started to combine those with targeted killings of journalists and rights activists, ramping up an environment of fear. They also pushed a narrative of inevitable Taliban victory in their propaganda and psychological operations. Soldiers and local officials were reportedly bombarded with text messages in some areas, urging them to surrender or cooperate with the Taliban to avoid a worse fate.Many were offered safe passage if they did not put up a fight, while others were reached through tribal and village elders. |
obixcel:---There is plenty of blame to place on each of George W. Bush (the originator), Barack Obama (the enabler), Donald Trump (the negotiator), and Joe Biden (the facilitator) about the Afghanistan failure but this picture of Sec of State Mike Pompeo and Taliban leader Mullar Baradar will live in infamy---

basilico:--- From the look of things---the Afghanis want the Taliban to rule them because there's no way the Taliban with few thousands militias should overpower the highly trained Afghan forces (trillions of USD spent) without the full cooperation of Afghanis---reports abound of Afghan soldiers fleeing to neighbouring countries or in some cases willingly surrendering to the Talibans--- ---No matter the foreign intervention (even the Russians tried in the 1980s) the will of the people will always triumph ---https://www.voanews.com/us-afghanistan-troop-withdrawal/pakistan-repatriates-afghan-soldiers-who-crossed-border-face ---This always happens with wars the US have involved themselves with over the past 60 years---North Korea remained communist and did not become democratic after the Korean War---Vietnam remained communist as well---Iraq became even more hardline with ISIS---Cuba did not budge and is still Castro country---Afghanistan is sticking with the Taliban---The US intervention often leads to the opposite effect of what's intended--- |
benalvino3:The US doesn't have the right to be the 'police' of the world---they shouldn't have been in Afghanistan for almost 2 decades Trump started the peace process with the Talibans---his administration even facilitated the release of a top commander, Mullah Baradar of the Talibans, who and likely might be the next leader---but for Trump and his band of fellow Al-Q-Anons and TrumpTalibans to blame Biden for how the Taliban took control is not appropriate---https://web.archive.org/web/20210615230810/https://gop.com/president-trump-is-bringing-peace-to-the-middle-east-rsr/

benalvino3:---Trump signed the deal with the Taliban---effectively it shows the Talibans have always been in power---because how can they just takeover the country within a short period of time---Biden is just following through with the agreement to pull US troops out of an independent nation--- ---The GOPs and MAGAs have been saying for many years that the US should pull out all its military resources from Afghanistan---now this has been done---they quickly blamed Biden for exactly what Trump would have done if he had won his 2nd term--- ---The document below praising Trump was on the RNC website before it was removed---

obixcel:Donald Trump was the one who started the withdrawal of US Troops from Afghanistan by trying to get the Taliban to accept a deal, because rightly so he was against the war invasion and one of his campaign promise was to bring US Troops back home. He tried setting up a meeting at Camp David during the week of 9/11 remembrance in 2019, which backfired. |

Goodvibes007:---Rudy Giuliani joined Cameo offering personalized videos for $199--- https://www.insider.com/rudy-giuliani-has-joined-cameo-offering-personalized-videos-2021-8 Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has joined Cameo, an online platform that lets people pay public figures for personalized videos. A personalized video from Giuliani costs $199, his profile said. "If you have an issue of concern that you want to discuss, or a story you'd like to hear or share with me, or a greeting that I can bring to someone that would bring happiness to their day, I would be delighted to do it. It can be arranged. We can talk through the magic of Cameo," Giuliani said in a video on his Cameo profile, which had two five-star reviews at the time of writing. In a video for a New Zealand real-estate agent named Samuel Chatwin, Giuliani promoted Chatwin's real-estate business and told viewers to subscribe to his podcast, "Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense," to keep up with US news "that a lot of the big newspapers and networks aren't telling you."
