Well, if you pretend really hard that we're not paying terrorists for hostages, then you might even start believing it.

I’ll bet you that money will get unfrozen soon. The Taliban will be swimming in cash soon.

Taliban swimming in cash, military vehicles both land and air, weapons and munitions, a portion or all possibly up for sale to the highest bidder. What could possibly go wrong.

Not sure why you'd think that. Trump let several thousand of them out of prison, then tried to invite them to Camp David. We've been negotiating with them for years now.
