While very, very, very wrong, they are probably actually more capable.Boris Johnsons has gone on Holiday leaving senior whitehall official to negotiate with the Taliban
Weird weird world. Oddly the parody of a nation rising to the defence of geronimo the llama with tb but remaining stum about all the females in afghanistan losing the right to be educated seem wrong, but appropriate in the hypocritical reality were in.Afghanistan: Rescued animals 'in amazing condition' in UK - BBC News
Most of the 150 animals rescued by "Pen" Farthing's charity are to be adopted by veterans.www.bbc.co.uk
How can anybody celebrate this whilst people who wanted out (including British Nationals) are still stuck there. On news reports tonight of a 7 month old baby not allowed out but parents were... Then 150 Greyhounds and such sat in plane hold. Makes no sense to me.
And eating pigs, cows, chickens in their thousands but one Lama???Weird weird world.

On the plus side since " the world has gone mad", at least it isn't just me!And eating pigs, cows, chickens in their thousands but one Lama???
World has gone mad.
it may be only short term though.all the females in afghanistan losing the right to be educated seem wrong,
It's appalling but not sure what we can do about it. Can't invade place, that has been proven time and time again. I, m sure the trillions spent could have been used more effectively tho, by a more subtle approach but who knows. Should we merely stand by whilst other countries go about their business or make judgment calls and exert our, assumed higher, moral codes on them. We seem to be leaving China to do what it wants but West tried to steer Afghanistan to the righteous path... By killing thousands.. Think there is a moral contradiction in there somewhere. But which is right. I haven't a clue.Weird weird world.

I suspect the Chinese are correct in their approach. The West did not kill thousands in Afghanistan ..it was Hundreds of thousands.It's appalling but not sure what we can do about it.

Suspect the last 20 years has been more about reprisal for 911 rather than altruistic moral reasons.

Being pedantic, thousands is still hundreds of thousands,but accept the point.I suspect the Chinese are correct in their approach. The West did not kill thousands in Afghanistan ..it was Hundreds of thousands.
"Should we merely stand by whilst other countries go about their business?"
Emphatically YES.
"We seem to be leaving China to do what it wants."
As we definitely should.
I believe as Danidl posted, "I suspect the Chinese are correct in their approach."
The One Party democracy actually works better than our Western democracy models.

Much as I can relate to both of your convictions about being right, it's probably worth pointing out that it's the kind of fundamentalism that can trigger wars and lengthy foreign invasions.So

And I occasionally suffer a stammer. Apparently.
That is fair comment , but then I have not advocated the Singapore method of governance, or the USAs or the UKs .. A colleague of mine, a once senior academic in EAST GERMANY when it was DDR, had scathing comments about the New Germany post reunification Now I do wonder how a brow beaten black woman in a getto in Washington , would respond to living in Beijing and sure of adaquate health care and full food and impartial policing.Says someone enjoying all the freedoms of Western culture and governance.
Sorry, but you are off beam here with me. Although I express a view on political and religious matters and often firmly stick to it, I'll never back enforcing it.Much as I can relate to both of your convictions about being right, it's probably worth pointing out that it's the kind of fundamentalism that can trigger wars and lengthy foreign invasions.
