MODERATORS
The Taliban is willing to murder people to keep them in line. The US DOD was not willing to kill the thousands of people extrajudicially that would have bern needed to stop the drug trade.
Edit: EXTRAJUDICIALLY means without a trial or in this case as a directive from the WH. They aren't in theory just murdering for the sake of murdering. The Tailban, on the other hand, are less focused on trials for these people though they are turning a blind eye to the growth of the opium trade post 2021 takeover.
I'm sorry what? What do you think the US was doing in Afghanistan for 20 years. The US loves an extrajudicial killing.
The Taliban have achieved this by offering better prices for food crops, which is what they need due to us sanctions. So it turns out that the us did have the power all along.
Also, that's another thing the us likes to do, starve countries that don't dance to their tune.
Your first paragraph makes it clear you don't understand what extrajudicial means. Is there any point in reading past there?
If you think extrajudicial murder means a killing done without an order from the government, and since the US sanctions its own killing they aren't extrajudicial, shouldn't that same logic apply equally to the Taliban? Surely the Taliban sanctions the killings done by the Taliban.
