'That oughta do it!' Taliban not expected to heed U.N. chief's call to 'immediately halt' their Afghanistan offensive

On his way to Camp David for the rest of the weekend from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, President Biden didn’t have anything to say to reporters about what’s unfolding in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby’s press conference had a bit of a “blame Trump” moment.

As for the United Nations, they’re taking a predictable approach:

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN chief urges Taliban to immediately halt their Afghan offensive, negotiate in good faith to avert prolonged civil war.

If that doesn’t work, a strongly worded letter should do it!

If a strongly worded letter doesn’t stop them, nothing will

This statement shows Trump was again right in his view of the UNITED NATIONS 🤔
