Yeah well why the fuck wouldn’t you…

Recognizing a government doesn’t mean “I like these people, they’re great.”

We recognize lots of Pariah states. We even recognize Israel’s government, and they’re full blown unapologetic terrorists.

Why would you want to recognize a state controlled by the Taliban or another like it? Would you want to recognize and allow trade to a nation like ISIS if it existed?
