  1. WORST VIDEO EVER. JUST VIDEO. ZERO NARRATION.

  2. Joel is going to ask Afghanistan to kindly send some of the weaponry we abandoned to help the Ukrainian nation

  3. Terrorists ruling the country. This will be a joke after 100 years

  4. I love how it went from starving from high prices to purposely starving from Ramadan maybe that’s a hint at what’s actually going on

  5. The West has confiscated all of Afghanistan's resources, meaning "Stole". They could not defeat the A*f,gh"an heroes in the war ahead. Now he wants to take the country to the brink of "civil war". May Allah protect the Muslim Ummah. Amin #StandWithAfganistan
    #Islamophobia

  6. Thanks to the USA, who couldn’t even protect their butts when exiting the country. Good work USA. Ruin the country and rob them too. Such a Shining Light on the Hill the USA is – not.

  7. So the markets are stocked but people can't afford the food ? I guess it ends up thrown away so the people can scour the dumpsters …makes no sence to me

  8. Allah shall help the Afghan people. They survive the long unequal war with Nato before. GOD BLESS AFGHANISTAN FOREVER !

  9. If they put up any fight at all I would want to help them. They just rolled over and let the Taliban have it. I bet the Taliban are eating.

  10. Terrible i neverendtheless

  11. Hopefully they're not looking at the United States for help….

  12. Afghanistan it’s poor country and Because of the interference of foreign countries make it worse

  13. This is what the Taliban wanted, let them have it. Now we will see Afghanistan crumble to the ground followed by civil unrest and then civil war. I think right about now, they are thinking how good it was to have the Coalition there basically paying for everything, yes????

  14. Ramadan is stupid anyways

  15. NATO can set up a food for weapons program. Taliban trade the weapons we gave to American backed Afghanistan government for the type of grain the are use to eating and cooking.

  16. People have hearts. No one needs to be starving when we throw away so much food in the US. There is no way everyone world wide shouldn't have basic human necessities

  17. Afghan people support the Taliban, so they're happy being hungry and cold .

  18. https://youtu.be/Rn8B4WxB5eA
    Ukraine takes Control!!

    Russia Military destroyed !!

  19. My friend does the fasting and she has fainted several times so I can imagine the uncomfortable physical feelings when your already starving!

  20. Perhaps the men of Afghanistan should have enlisted and actually fought the Taliban. My impression was that they raised a generation of males that sat around sipping tea and watching our young men fighting for their freedom. The country certainly enjoyed all the economic benefits of our presence as they hid and supported the gorilla warfare from the Taliban against our Sons and Daughters. Lord forgive me if this is a stain on my heart. I have no sympathy for them. May God have mercy on the children and women who had no say.

  21. Religion will always be a plague

  22. instead of a helping Nazi sympathisers in Ukraine .West can deliver some food to people of Afghanistan .

  23. Thoughts and prayers.

  24. Guess Ramadan is starting early

  25. their CCP friends in china can feed them

  26. No one cares anymore. Half the world spent too long there already…from the Russians, to US and NATO forces. Let them destroy their country if they want. The citizens can leave on their own free will. They aren’t being held captive by the government. The world has bigger problems to deal with. This is obviously what the Taliban wants…let them have it.

  27. Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 110 sentadillas son unos QQGIRLS.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesn abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k

  28. Hey at least their just destroying their own home and not the rest of the world.

  29. Sad to say it this way but that’s good. A starving population will be more likely to rise up against the Taliban rule.

  30. Theres more of them then the Taliban…I will never understand why these people don't rise up. It's ridiculous atp.

  31. It's more than sending donations to NGOs working in Afghanistan, it's about making petitions to the Almighty to have mercy on them.
