I don’t think the Taliban believes in global warming. The point here is, they’re now allowed to attend international events as a normal country. This is something that the US tried to prevent after surrendering to them in 2021, claiming that they were not a normal country because they don’t have gay ***** or let *****s run buckwild.
The US is losing all of these arguments about “the bad guys” these days. First they did that thing to Russia, starting this ridiculous and dangerous war with them, and then cutting them out of the international financial system (something which was not even done to Hitler). Then they offered totally unconditional support for the Jews committing a genocide. Every country on earth, save the direct vassals of the US, wants the Americans to lose power.
More and more, the United Nations, founded by the US, is moving into the Chinese sphere of influence. The UN is against Israel, they are open to meeting with Putin, they are largely refusing to go along with the US attempt to isolate China.
If Americans are out of power, there is no one to whine about how the Taliban is evil.
Afghan Taliban officials will attend a major United Nations climate conference that starts next week, the Afghan Foreign Ministry said on Sunday, the first time they have attended since the former insurgents took power in 2021.
The COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku will be among the highest-profile multilateral events attended by Taliban administration officials since they took control in Kabul after 20 years of fighting NATO-backed forces.
The U.N. has not allowed the Taliban to take up Afghanistan’s seat at the General Assembly, and Afghanistan’s government is not formally recognised by U.N. member states, largely due to the Taliban’s restrictions on women’s education and freedom of movement.
Well, it looks like that’s changing!
There is no international law that says you have to be ruled over by women. If there was such a law, it would not be valid, but there is no such law.
Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi said officials from the National Environmental Protection Agency had arrived in Azerbaijan to attend the COP conference. The Taliban took over the agency when they returned to power as U.S.-led forces withdrew.
Taliban officials have taken part in U.N.-organised meetings on Afghanistan in Doha, and Taliban ministers have attended forums in China and Central Asia in the past two years.
Yeah, China doesn’t care. They understand not wanting to be ruled by women.
When acting in the international sphere, China is like the Good Guy Greg meme.
Good Guy Greg even has squinty eyes, huh?
In actual reality, the Chinese policy of “countries should be allowed to run their own internal affairs as they see fit” is how the UN should function, and if the UN did function that way, no one would really have a problem with it existing as a forum for countries to discuss international issues.
Of course, right now, the UN is obsessed with getting into everyone’s business. But again, that has begun to change a lot since 2022 and a lot more since the Jewish assault on Gaza, because the US is losing influence.
