"Climate Taliban" what a perfectly succinct description of these ridiculous vandals!

Maybe, but consider the reasons why the original Taliban did what they did, as reported quite accurately by mainstream media. It's patently understandable from a human point of view--not that I condone it, but if I'm and my kids are starving and some foreigners offer money to support statues or else, I'd be pissed, too.

Weird world.

I would like to send the Greens to Afghanistan, in exchange for afghani girls and young women.

The Greens can then teach the taliban the (t)error of their ways, and we can educate the girls and women in preparation for them to return and overthrow the regime there.

I spoke with an afghan man today actually, about the situation there. The taliban are going to go through archives and records all the way back to when they were ousted and apply sharia punishments retroactively to anyone they don't like.

According to this man, Biden is hated among afghans no matter their stance on taliban and other such stuff: the feeling is the US came in, wrecked what little order there was, propped up their own puppets and then just fucked off without a care, having offered false protection and false hope for years.

Expect Pakistan to exploit this, as well as moslem preachers in Europe.

Oh my, re the last line--what could (not) go wrong?

The climate taliban would go ballistic if you accidentally scuffed their shoe. But somehow they are so self-important that they are justified in trying to destroy artistic treasures.
