    Yet you are only wringing your hands on afghanistan, not saudi arabia or elsewhere.

    Seems like a concerted effort to sanction the regime, steal their currency in the global markets, and prevent them from buying food. Biden actively tried to starve those woman he claimed to care about too when he personally decided to steal half of Afghanistan’s currency reserves they desperately needed to buy food to give to the 9/11 victims families for not extraditing and accused suspect to their hated enemy. I think you should rethink how much of a crime that is, not extraditing to an untrustworthy partner, let alone one that tortures people.

    All of these Afghanistan posts just reek. Impoverishing them will not give woman more rights. Seeing as women are having their rights removed in the west here maybe you should concentrate on that?

        Why are you up in the arms about the tail man and not other cultures that don’t respect women’s rights?

      What makes you think that? The Saudis are awful too, no one sane would say they’re not.

        I definitely definitely don’t agree with the person you’re responding to, but if you know the whole history of how the middle east got to where it is today, seeing the British Broadcasting Corporation tut tut about human rights in the area might make you lose your mind as well.

      Yes, the theft of Afghanistan’s currency reserves was shameful and yes, no government in the world right now actually gives a shit about human rights in Afghanistan, but the Taliban are still violent misogynists and theocrats who should be overthrown. If I were Afghani I would be willing to work with a foreign government to do that, even though I know how badly that has worked out for Afghanistan in the past, because the Taliban really are that awful.
