Anyone at #Neotropolis should turn up to Anser's #Netrunner open play sessions at 3pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday! This is surely the most sharp-dressed #cyberpunk gathering since that #Billions episode!

Let's look at the motivation for #Trump to agree with the #Taliban, and release 5000 imprisoned fighters.

Was it to massage Trump's ego? Probably not.

Was it a promise from the Taliban that they'd allow a peaceful exit of US and Western forces and equipment from Afghanistan. Could Trump and Mike #Pompeo be that stupid?

Or was it the many #billions of dollars directly linked to the #opiate trade? Billions that siphoned off into bank accounts god-knows-where?
