State Department on #Iran hosting Afghan-#Taliban talks: "#Afghanistan’s neighbors and countries in the region, they too have a stake in Afghanistan’s future...Every party has an interest in a settlement being durable."
No. No, they do not.
I really do not know what planet the State Department is living on.
"What Iran is in the process of doing by hosting this meeting may well be constructive...Afghanistan’s neighbors need to be responsible stakeholders."
K, but they won't be, so...
This answer on #Pakistan's role perfectly encapsulates the farce of US Foreign Policy: "We have shared interests...when it comes to peace and stability in Afghanistan...Pakistan has been helpful...when it comes to this shared interest...broader counterterrorism interests as well"
Full answer:
The messaging nonsense comes from the top:
Biden talking about the "peace process", says "countries in the region [Iran, Russia, Pakistan, China] have a role to play in support a peaceful settlement. We'll work with them, and they should... step up their efforts, as well."
