Can we trust the Talibans?

Now that Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman promises that the new rulers of Afghanistan would respect women's rights, forgive those who resisted them and ensure a secure country that doesn’t provide safe harbor for terrorist, the next logical question is: 

“Can we trust this bearded guy?” More broadly that question begs to ask ourselves, a more general question “Who can we trust and what is our level of confidence in the people we see, work with, live with or are governed by?” 

To re-frame that question in yet a different way we could ask ourselves on a scale from zero to one-hundred percent, what is the level of confidence, or trust factor we have in person A, B or C? This can make for a fascinating exercise. 

Look at the picture gallery below and for each one of them persons represented, plug your rating in. True, I didn't show Putin, Xi or Bolsonaro. I didn't want to waste your time.

I have already helped you make your move by bravely indicating my view, for whatever it’s worth, so by all means, don’t take it seriously, it’s just an example. 

When you’re done send me your vote!
