Didn’t the United States consider the Taliban terrorists? Did that stop them from negotiating a retreat from Afghanistan? America sure seems to believe you can negotiate with terrorists.
The terrorists in that case managed to outlast a billion/trillion $ anti-terrorism budget, I don’t think the US had much negotiating power or a choice to not negotiate in that case. Ironic considering how many times that it’s been the other way around.
What America considers “terrorists” are often the least problematic of their associations. Let’s not forget how South Korea used to be ruled by a series of dictators, or the installation of Pinochet, or the South Vietnamese dictators.
Have you ever heard the phrase, “you can’t negotiate with terrorists?” Turns out it’s true.

Negotiate? They straight up support terrorists or conduct business with them for ‘the greater good’ or ‘the big picture’.

I mean, I guess you can try, but you’re going to be dissapointed every single time. 10/10 don’t recommend.
