At least $293 million have likely filled the coffers of the Taliban since the 2021 U.S. military withdrawal due to State Department failing to properly vet award recipients. 🤣

    Indeed, countries gaining their sovereignty is the first step for anything getting better.

      Unless the people who take control are horrible people who don’t believe in equality, and personal freedoms. And, who are willing to hurt people to enforce strange and archaic beliefs.

        I’m sure those groups were much happier being hunted for sport by benevolent white saviors.

          Except they weren’t. Women could go to school. Now they cannot.

            yeah this was so great for them https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/the-assassination-complex/

            During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. In Yemen and Somalia, where the U.S. has far more limited intelligence capabilities to confirm the people killed are the intended targets, the equivalent ratios may well be much worse.

            It’s absolutely vile how people will go on to try and justify colonialism.

              No one is defending colonialism. It’s saying the Taliban is worse. Which it is. Those poor people.

                Saying Taliban is worse is literally defending colonialism. Those poor people burgerland kept murdering for decades.
