U.S. moves to allow more aid to Afghanistan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

With millions in Afghanistan facing the risk of famine, U.S. President Joe Biden has taken steps to let more aid into the country.

The Treasury Department on Wednesday announced it was issuing three new licenses allowing certain officials and NGOs to bypass sanctions and work with Taliban leaders.

Earlier in the week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged a growing crisis in the country.

We're very conscious of the fact that there is an incredibly difficult humanitarian situation right now, one that could get worse as winter sets in. And so that's an area of intense focus for us working closely with allies and partners."

2. I know this will make me sound like a fucking heartless asshole...

But…why?

The fucking Taliban wanted to run the country, so let them run the fucking country.

It is horrible what is happening to the people there, but the MEN of that country LET IT BLOODY WELL HAPPEN, god dammit. It’s a patriarchal society so let the men sort it out.


We need to let it be. I don’t like saying it, but we spent way too much money on that backwards society, so now that we’re gone, let them sort it out.

Spend the money here, not over there.

4. We can afford $300M a day. Did that for 20 years.

I say give ‘em a chance to grow incredible hash again like in the 70’s. Keep the Russians out. Radical Islam is a recent thing.
