Biden is crushing the Afghan economy by seizing $3.5 billion of its people’s money and diverting the other $3.5 billion for a trust fund “to benefit the Afghan people.”

But if you delivered those funds to the Taliban, wouldn’t you be giving it to actual mass murderers?
But then there would be one less thing to blame Biden for.
Yeah… criticize the US all you want, but the Taliban just spent the last 20 years ripping the Afghan economy to shreds. These funds pale in comparison to the massive damage that constant civil strife has caused.
I can’t help but feel like this is exactly what Biden wants. They’re holding these funds in hopes that people will rise up against the Taliban if I had to guess, which is really disingenuous because it will do nothing but cause sickness, hunger, and death.
This is exactly how I see it too. Theft, plain and simple.
It’s basically a siege where they want to starve the country into surrender.
A tactic as old as time. That’s essentially the backbone of what sanctions are. Attack the people in hopes they will revolt against their gov’t.
