Good for them. It sounds like they had a gruelling plan and schedule to adhere to, and followed it perfectly.

Hard work always pays off. The taliban are living proof. Well done, lads!

Say what you want about their terrorist ways, but their business acumen is second to none.

Does the money even go to the actual Taliban at this point? Most of it just goes towards making these few guys rich while the actual people on the ground live in squalor..

One would think that equipment could be better used to rebuild their own country instead of profiting from sports in another country. But hey, nothing says legitimate government like insiders profiting while people suffer.

The whole WC outcome of winners has no influence on anything in the real world. It’s all a skim operation and Qatar knows it.

Ironic how they quote someone saying that the world doesn't care about oppression if it is entertained... Only to post a piece themselves on taliban funding followed by a piece on how Portugal won a game in the world cup. Absolutely pinnacle of clickbait fuckery.

The Taliban are amateurs, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas made millions from Qatar during the same time, without the need to provide construction equipement.

Is anyone ever surprised to hear that big money meddles in politics and feeds it back?

If Joe forces a contract on us that we don't want any strike will be a wildcat strike. A wildcat strike means we are liable for damages. Our union will be dissolved and we will have liens put on our homes. We can also face jail time. Railway Labor Act.
