Bla bla just a small scale dude. Have u ever visit palestine? Where palestinians hungry to death? Why no one dare to say anything? U little prick money slave. Go there and put on ur news. They were poor because of us invasion. They were in war for 43years.this is just apart of dirty game from politicians. Nice try MF! I dont trus your news
Wtg Biden. Idiot
This is on Biden! Trump also had a plan to leave Afghanistan in May 2021 but the Taliban we're given conditions they had to meet before the US pulled out and they hadn't even met those conditions as of August 2021 but Biden pulled out of Afghanistan in such chaos leaving many US military and civilians, and the Afghans that fought and stood with the US for 20 years and we're suppose to have a choice to come here but many were unable to get out and the Administration just blames everyone else for his failures but he believes it was a success
Can't believe they expect different from religious nut jobs that, marry kids smh expecting alot from low standards
I wonder if the reporters just reported the dying children and then left them to starve anyways.
What happened to all the fake propaganda videos by the Taliban that everything was copacetic. Clean streets drug addicts being put in rehab nobody was hungry. It's not that you was problem or the words let them handle their own business. They gave up 84 billion dollars worth of arms that we gave them they don't want to fight for their freedom let them suffer.
Why the rich Arab countries not helping their Muslim brothers and sisters???? Why does the West have to help, they aren't grateful for it, all we get is hate in return.
Liers, the country had been like that since 20 years ago.
Re-direct your efforts in America..that country was abandoned.
It's Biden and administration fault. Yet they loosened sanctions on Iran.
The freezing of the assets is not going to help the hungry people.
Fuckin Biden.. and the whole Democratic administration..
If you believe in democracy then you should not be worried about Afghanistan. There are a number of survey showed that 95-99% afghan support Taliban. So let them live by themselves.
Media disinformation, hunger in Afganistan exist due to American policy makers freezing Afganistan asset , blocking aid and donations to Afganistan. Partly thanks to world bank who is controlled by u.s state department. Sanctions is genocide just like war. They want Afganistan government to be subservient to the west hedgemony like previous Afgan puppet regime.
This so weird, if now we frozen USA money and imposed sanctions on them that no one can send money from out side to them, same thing would happen, you keep blaming Taliban while you are the cause of this distruction.
HOW DO YOU DO A WHOLE SEGMENT ON THE HUNGER CRISIS IN AFGHANISTAN AND NOT MENTION U.S. SANCTIONS?!!! We are withholding 7 BILLION dollars worth of assets that belong to the people of Afghanistan, and it's because of sick Republicans like Rand Paul and cowardly Democrats that this capital is not being handed over — AND we are refusing to supply them with humanitarian aid. As a result, some 20 MILLION Afghani civilians are at risk of starvation. And you know what these DESPICABLE Republicans would say if Biden were to open up free trade with the country and provide them with much-needed supplies, like food. They'll start calling him "Taliban Joe" because these people have NO morals or principles whatsoever! Well guess what: If saving 20 million people from starving to death means assisting a fundamentalist Islamic guerrila army de facto government, then so be it!! We will look like MONSTERS in history if we don't do this! This is absolutely sickening, and the mainstream corporate media is complicit!
9 billion of Afghan money is being held by US Banks. When we went into Afghanistan, we converted their banking system to a 'western' style banking system (money/credit moves money based on collateral values). After US withdrawal, the money in Afghan banks was seized by US, leaving Afghanistan without a central bank overnight. Honest Afghan civilians can't withdraw money, honest companies (importers/exporters) lost their collateral and liquid cash. The result: millions of honest afghans are starving and freezing to death — effectively a genocide. Taking innocent people's money and allowing them to starve will come back to haunt us.
Selling kids always been around nothing new like he said girls he not use to selling the worker of not the mouth that makes more mouths to feed
How can it be "normal" to sell your daughter? I will never understand this barbaric side of their culture.
🙏💔😔
That little boy will never be normal he hasn’t got the proper nutrition at a very important time in his life. You can take the Taliban for that and you can take the Afghani people.
If they’re so strapped for cash how come all of vehicles are tumbling around everywhere? They seem to have money for fuel why don’t they have money for food?
All the brave women who died in those wars only for The Taliban to take over is disgusting 😤
Oh well! Nothings going to change in that country. If those people want to freedom and decent type of living then they would’ve defeated the Taliban.
I’ll notice that father there his children are starving but he’s well fed and says the children are here so he’ll sell them? Those people over there are evil! Well what do you expect from that bloodthirsty religion of theirs.
What a bunch of sickos! You’re gonna sell their daughters? Do you know if they’re gonna be used for.
Look at that wonderful standard of living the Taliban had brought to those people. Well, we told them and we tried to help them they made their own bed And they can lay in it.
If she did have some money they might give her a little bit of medicine and then the Taliban would stick it in their own pockets. Well, sucks to be them!
Yeah that poor kid at two years that’s the kind of people the Taliban are you notice those fighters weren’t running around with those AK-47s they’re wealthy that aren’t they.
Those people care about their children do you know the Afghan men can do certain things to young boys if it’s considered in a “sexual emergency and then they want to claim they have this wonderful religion?
So they hate America the great satan but they still want our money boy I tell you these people.
And why do I care if a normal Afghan is doomed? Their army that we supply in Trane had a towel been out number 51 and had tanks helicopters jets they didn’t fight those people. I’ll say it again I made their bed let them lay in it. I don’t think we should give anything at all to Afghanistan you saw Adidas did they spit in our faces. I knew nothing was gonna change the whole town that we were in there the only make mistake we made was getting rid of Bagrem airbase!
They would’ve taken at 9 billion and used it on more weapons more stuff so they can commit terrorism. I knew before we even with Drew they were gonna have problems with getting adequate food in there for one thing they’re too busy selling and growing poppy plants instead of food to eat.
Well they knew what the Taliban were like just another typical Muslim country. These people reacting off a lot like African-Americans in this country.
I knew that was gonna happen and I don’t think we should give them any food medicine money anything nothing. We spent 20 years in there trying to help those stupid people and they wanted to Taliban well now they’ve got it.
Well they wanted the taliban, so they got it!!!
Well, those people wanted those scuzzy inbred perverted Taliban now they’ve got it.
Waa waaa usa is to blame history can prove America is evil
STOP HAVING FKIN KIDS FFS
The world chosen The Terrorist Taliban over Afghanistan people, negotiating with terror group for two years and leave them 85 billion dollar worth of weapon very much talk how event was shaped, looks like Afghanistan will become worse than Syria and Yemen.
There children are starving to death but they have a smart phone SMH ..priority
Lift those sanctions on Afghanistan.
USA is the responsible for that by frozen money and has to end it. Give Afghanistan their money.
How come the opium farmers aren’t affected by the drought? Are they the only farmers in Afghanistan?
These same people once detested foreign aid/presence and now that Taliban is back suddenly they need help. Rally your people and fight back.
All of the Afghan atrocities and inhumanities are solidly on the dirty hands of Puppet Biden. Worst administration EVER.
We can all thank Joe Biden and his vice president for taking American trips out so fast and letting the enemy dominate that country once again!! Who voted for this man? worst ever!
