The Taliban are still trying to manipulate the West into forking over more cash. It will probably work, because the infidels in the European Union and Washington, D.C. are so infinitely stupid, and so very eager to be fooled.
“Five months after taking over Afghanistan by brute force and establishing Sharia rule, Taliban calls for restraint in Russia-Ukraine conflict, OpIndia, February 25, 2022:
On Friday, the Taliban ruled Afghanistan government has issued a statement amidst the severe war ongoing between Russia and Ukraine and has called for restraint by both parties. “All parties need to desist from taking positions that could intensify violence”, the statement read calling for dialogue.
Abdul Qahar Balkhi, the MoFA Spokesperson, Afghanistan said that the country was closely observing the Russia-Ukraine war and condemned the invasion by Russia. He also expressed concern about the situation in Ukraine and stated that the violence might intensify resulting in the real possibility of civilian casualties.
The Taliban gravely concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine also extended an offer to hold ‘talks’ in order to avert the possibility of more casualties. “The Islamic Emirate if Afghanistan, in line with its foreign policy of neutrality, calls for both sides of the conflict to resolve the crisis through dialogue and peaceful means,” said the statement.
The Taliban government in Afghanistan further called on parties to the conflict to pay attention to safeguarding the lives of Afghan students and migrants in Ukraine….

Or in plain speaking How much can we possibly get from a mercenary contract, quite possibly for either side or both.
Infidel says
This is the funniest story that I’ve read in a while. Could well have been written by the Babylon Bee. Not to mention – this is the gratitude that the Russians get for being one of the first to recognize the Taliban regime in Afghanistan

Infidel, god knows I am not always a fan of Russia, especially right now–but my understanding is that they talked about recognizing the Taliban back in late Summer and early Fall of last year, but have not actually done it.
Infidel says
Well, good for them! Given the support they were giving the Taliban while we were there, one would have thought otherwise
Kesselman says
What a towel-headed moron. Does he think that the addressee is that stupid? Unfortunately, they are!
BexarKat says
That’s like the rat warning the cheese .

Now the Taliban disingenuously urges restraint in a war between 2 INFIDEL states. Perhaps they are asserting between the lines that none could be as proficient at killing the unbelievers than the Bamiyan Bombers in Kabul.

Taliban: ‘All parties’ in Ukraine ‘need to desist from taking positions that could intensify violence’
……………
There are very few things funny about either the Taliban or the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, but this is one of them.
Aussie Infidel says
Maybe the Taliban are anxious to safeguard any jihadis who have made it to Ukraine. A fifth column there would be advantageous for a future jihad against the infidels.
Or maybe the Afghans feel emboldened to advise the Russians on strategy, since they threw them out of Afghanistan 33 years ago.

Jihadists are already there, Aussie Infidel–they’ve been imported by Russia to murder Ukrainians:
