    Why the concerted effort attacking the afghans for something others are guilty of? Saudis, etc.

    This campaign stinks, probably us govt funded to further justify sanctions and stealing their currency going through international institutions.

    Invading afghanistan and not having a marshall plan was always going to end lime this. This being better than us occupation in many respects because the taliban are honest and not corrupt from the top down as our puppet was.

        Well nothing helps those women out like stealing their foreign currency reserves so they can’t buy food. Or sanctioning their government. It is not like there are 100 other countries that are not respecting women’s rights that don’t get the same treatment from you for some reason? Because you are being too old against the Taliban by somebody with an agenda here.

          They were much better off before, foreign currency stolen or not. Now they’ve lost most of their basic rights - it’s terrifying.

            If you think they were better under the puppet regime you really don’t know what we had going on over there. The taliban are popular because they’re honest. Our hodgepodge of Warlords was anything but honest. Never stood a chance of winning over the country’s population because it never actually tried to. Something every single Inspector General said when they looked at Afghanistan and our position there for 20 years.

        These criticisms are broadly engineered and done to justify sanctions and stealing foreign currency reserves in case you didn’t know that.

          Obviously the women don’t matter, no one cares about women. Duh. People have to fucking engineer a comment to make it seem like they do as a cover for literally anything else, as everything else is more important than women. Obviously. It’s so obvious that you clearly have no obligation to engage with the actual content of the post under discussion here, as it’s about women and therefore not even worth mentioning. Unless you’re trying to engineer some criticism, obviously.

            Nothing says caring about those women like starving them by stealing their foreign currency Reserves in a famine so they cannot buy food. Oh just half of the foreign currency reserves cuz Biden was such a fucking humanitarian.
