      While I get what you mean, what is everyone else doing, pretending like they aren’t acknowledging them while running their relations through them?

      Like when they trade with India, Pakistan, China, U.S., and such… communication must be happening somewhere

        Yeah it’s fine to be close allies with Saudi Arabia, but don’t you dare acknowledge the reality in Afghanistan.

      I don’t think that the official story was that they would turn it over to the Taliban.

      I think that it was that they would leave the local government to maintain their own security (knowing full well that they wouldn’t be able to).

        Yeah, the Afghani government, or I should say “government” folded up so fast it’s hard to remember the timeline. It may be we made the promise to the non-Taliban government which had the half-life of francium. (Yes, I looked that up.)
