This week has been a terrible one for the middle east, and it hasn’t been all that great for Joe Biden either.
The US President is facing extreme criticism over his decision to expedite the removal of US troops from the nation formerly known as Afghanistan, which then led immediately to the Taliban’s takeover of the tumultuous nation.
Now, almost unbelievably, and amid an ongoing transition into a fear-based military regime for a government, it turns out that the Biden administration is actually going to be working with these terrorists.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan joined White House press secretary Jen Psaki at the podium for a press conference on Tuesday, where they took questions about the fallout from the troops withdrawal from Afghanistan, which gave way to a swift Taliban takeover of the country.
Sullivan told reporters that the administration expects the Taliban “will have to be watched and observed over time” on whether it is “prepared to meet their obligations to the basic human rights and human dignity of people, to the safe passage of people, to the airport.”
“The Taliban have informed us that they are prepared to provide the safe passage of civilians to the airport, and we intend to hold them to that commitment,” Sullivan also said during the briefing.
Then, almost unbelievably…
Sullivan noted the administration is “in contact with the Taliban to ensure the safe passage of people to the airport.”
The news comes just as the Taliban have made it clear that they won’t be guaranteeing any rights to women in their new nation, which has many wondering how on earth they are being allow to continue to exist.
