Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield
As the self-inflicted disaster in Afghanistan continues to unfold, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, has sent the Taliban a “very strongly worded press statement”
“We have expressed in no uncertain terms, here in the United Nations, through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls.” she stated.
Critics baffled by UN ambassador boasting of ‘very strongly worded press statement’ to Taliban: ‘Wut’
‘A turn of phrase that really does seem to capture the debacle that is this current moment’
By David Rutz
United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield boasted Tuesday the U.S. had used a “very strongly worded press statement” from the U.N. Security Council to tell the repressive Taliban it must respect women’s rights and humanitarian law.
As reports of violent repression against women and U.S. allies by the Taliban alarm the globe, Thomas-Greenfield told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the U.S. would be “watching” closely.
“We are hearing from people in Afghanistan that they are getting threats from the Taliban, and we have expressed in no uncertain terms here at the United Nations through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “We have also indicated that they have to be respectful of humanitarian law and that we do not expect to see that Afghanistan will become a safe haven for terrorists. But, again, it is not their words that we will hold them to. It is their actions that we will be watching.”
Actress Patricia Heaton summed up the feelings of many critics at the clip, simply writing “wut.” Others compared it to the 2004 comedy “Team America: World Police,” where U.N. official Hans Blix demands North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il allow a search for weapons of mass destruction or else “we will be very angry with you.”
Yeah, that’ll make the Taliban take note. The infuriating and sad reality is this has been the only message thus far from the current Resident and his administration addressing the situation, other than advising Americans outside the Kabul airport to shelter-in-place.
Kamala and The Squad* remain mute on the subject. Disgraceful does not begin to describe their silence.
*Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib
Hahahahahaha! Strongly-worded letter?! Buhahahahaha!
Hey, “United” “Nations” “”Ambassador”” Linda Thomas-Greenfield…..
you’re losing the real conflict: the meme war part deux.
Know how you fight this, moron.
“Islam is right about women”
Who’s writing the script for these a-holes?
Empty words and meaningless red lines.
Toothless bitch hounds all.
The Taliban is eating the West’s lunch on many, many levels and our government’s response is a multi-ranked circular firing squad.
But hey, ‘they hate us for our freedom’ was the selling point to this whole farce, how’s that going for us?
Let’s import them so we don’t have to fight them there. It’s common sense.
Team America got it right:

OH NOES! A STRONGLY WORDED STATEMENT!
Clutch the pearls! Pass the smelly salts! Where’s the fainting couch!?
(hope the /sarc didn’t come through TOO strong)
A strongly worded statement means squat to someone who can’t read.
So what are the consequences if there Taliban do not heed the “very strongly worded press statement”? An arms embargo? They already have all f the armament they could possibly want. Ban entertainers from performing in their country, like they did with South Africa? Kabul could lose a ton of money if they don’t get to host the next Victoria’s Secret Lingerie Pageant. Ban the children of the political leaders from attending school in the West? Inquiring minds want to know.
Our government seized $1.3 BILLION in AFG gold held in reserve at the New York Fed.
I wonder what they’ll do with it?
My money is on Drag Time Story Hour and CRT subsides.
Boycott the next Olympics?
Never mind. It was stupid the first time, and now no one cares.
There will be repercussions.
Hack: ” Ban entertainers from performing in their country..?”
Roh Dog: “Our government seized $1.3 BILLION…”
The solution!!!! Use the $1.3 Billion to hire Drag Queens and Soy Boy performers and air drop them into Afghanistan. Taliban run screaming, unable to unsee it, blinding themselves with sharp pointy things.
The United Nothing could withhold their funding of the Annual Taliban Sheep and Goat Beauty Pageant!
Sanctions on the table for The Taliban:
Only one scoop of ice cream from Joe Biden next time they visit Camp David.
No IPod containing the speeches of Barack Obama.
Limiting their Secret Santa gift to something that retails for less than $25.
What’s an Ipod?
Slow Joe – it’s a device that’s made by Apple Corp that plays .mp3 media(music/voice). It’s much more commonly used in presentations than people realize – AM/FM radio stations have been using them for several years now.
“UN Ambassador Sends Taliban a “Strongly Worded Statement”
Taliban Reply: “Nuts”
More like “DA FUQ???”
New country, who dis?
Addressee unknown
Yeah, because the Taliban gives a fuck…
Pshaw.
They aren’t serious yet. The Taliban don’t need to worry until they say their behavior is “unacceptable”. *That’s* when you know they really, really men it.
I feel safer already.
Context:
“You Taliban had better heed my very strongly worded Security Council press statement, and that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, or I’ll be forced to issue ANOTHER very strongly worded press statement!”
Sent to bed without bacha bazi.
What a dumb ass broad from a dumb ass administration.
I was expecting her to say, we expect you to secure our freedom of movement to evacuate all Americans”. But no, it’s a touchy-feely subject.
May as well have thrown in “get your vaccine and wear your mask”.
Pretty sure the Taliban will wipe their ass with that ‘strongly worded statement’. And if Linda (why are they always hyphenated?) Thomas-Greenfield takes her happy ass over there to deliver the next one….they’ll probably saw her fucking head off.
They actually wipe their ass?
STSC,
Yes, with 1 bare hand.
They eat with the other.
Offer a left handed handshake, and see what happens.
I bet they are quaking in their man dresses. Maybe they will just give up now?
Well that was as useful as a screen door in a submarine.
As useful as a fuel gauge on Daniel Bernath’s aircraft.
As useful as the Constitution in Xiden’s Amerika.
Let me translate this for you…
This means:
“Dick”
“Fucking”
“Squat”.
That is all. You may go about your previous business.
😀 🙁
Cribbed totally from Monty Python & the Holy Grail. Only the names changed to deride the guilty and protect the innocent.
Xiden: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force!
Tally-Whackers: You don’t frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a
silly person! Ah blow my nose at you, so-called “Arthur Keeeng”! You and
all your silly English Knnnnnnnn-ighuts!!!
(the soldier proceeds to bang on his helmet with his hands and stick out his
tongue at the knights, making strange noises.)
Gen Milley: What a strange person.
Xiden: (getting mad) Now look here, my good ma–
Tally Whackers: Ah don’ wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough wiper! Ah fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
Gen Milley: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
Tally Whackers: No!! Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
maybe she’ll come out swinging her pocketbook with a jar of pennies like Aunt Esther…incompetency on a major scale like we’ve never experienced before that’s what we have in this entire obamanation 3.0 administration from the top to the Whack house janitor.
“Heed my very strongly worded press statement or you’ll get this next!”
Surprised she isn’t waving that paper in the air declaring that it means “peace for our time.”
Exactly! I bet she thinks she’s just like ol’ Nevs Chamberlain. What a maroon!
What about all the other genders?
Remember this, the great messiah, Barrack the Weak once said, “Never underestimate Joe’s ablility to fuck shot up!!” True fact…..well here we are

Joke’s on you, UN. Talibs can’t read.
And, any interpreter who reads that “strongly worded letter” will translate it into, “Wonderful Taliban, the Security Council congratulates you on your liberation of your country from the clutches of the imperialists”. Because the terp knows what’ll happen to the messenger who delivers unwelcome news.
The United Nothing won’t do SHIT, I’ve seen their incompetence, impotence and corruption first hand.
Years ago I read a bunch of short stories written by Keith Laumer about the diplomats of a galaxy spanning terran empire.
Every joke in those stories rings true today
Reteif?
“I am not saying it is aliens, but it must be aliens.”
Just curious to know, how does the power of Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s ‘strong-worded speech’, measure up to the power of an AK-47/AK-74? Asking for a friend…
Biden’s next move will be to announce that the US is boycotting the 2024 Olympics in Kabul.
