    Extremely sus that they need help now and not 20 years ago given the US’s track record of persecuting journalists in the region.

    hm, that is t rue.

    And in case your first thought is, “Well we didn’t know what all abuses were happening, but we know the Taliban will be shitty and repressive!”, you might wanna check the tape on that.

    for me the US and taliban are similar bad? but taliban are no emanicapatory movement
