Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

AFGHANISTAN
Yes, the Trump administration in 2020 agreed to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners
Peace talks between the Afghanistan government and the Taliban, which never made substantial progress, didn’t begin until after the release of the prisoners.

The Taliban on Aug. 15 seized control of the Afghanistan government for the first time in nearly 20 years. President Joe Biden said the Taliban’s return to power occurred quicker than his administration expected. The takeover in Kabul has led to a dangerous situation for Americans and U.S. allies trying to evacuate out of Afghanistan.

Since the Taliban’s takeover, people have claimed that the U.S., when Donald Trump was president, agreed to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners.

THE QUESTION
Did the Trump administration agree to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners?

THE SOURCES
U.S. Department of State
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani
Shuhail Shaheen, Taliban spokesperson in Qatar
U.S. Congressional Research Service

former CIA employee has an interesting take on this fella

https://sonar21.com/there-is-more-to-th ... s-the-eye/
believe Viktor Bout was a Russian intelligence officer operating under cover as an arms dealer. In this capacity he could identify key players in revolutionary and criminal movements around the world. It is the United States that has created the Merchant of Death tale.
...
Bout’s work as a Russian intel operative working under the cover of arms trafficking gave him incredible access to sources and activities not normally available to a Russian intelligence officer working under diplomatic or military cover. It is a smart way for the Russians to collect intel and recruit human sources on a variety of active insurgent groups and criminal organizations. If you think the United States has not ried something like this, think again.

Whats the difference between a individual selling arms or state selling arms? They all sell death.
