Taliban praise Russia’s ‘brave decision’ to recognise their rule in Afghanistan

Only in the UK where nobody ever says what they mean

In politics and diplomacy, calling a decision "brave" has a very interesting meaning.

So ironic when Russia wanted to take-over your country but now they pat you on the back ?

Fuck both of these guys, but Russia accidentally did a good thing here, because the sanctions are only helping tighten the Taliban grip on power.
