Because none of those 97% get the money that's stashed overseas, so, in essence, you're not helping them anyways. If anything, you ensure the 3% ruling the country get stronger.
Unfortunately that's a highly sectarian, tribal country, largely ruled by theocracy. Russia found out first, the US right afterwards. Hopefully China is next.
Hopefully he makes it rain, throwing bills from planes... only way to help the needy there, tbh
after he stole half of it. I guess Afghanistan is lucky to get any of their money back.
I would have any hopes that money reaches the people that need humanitarian aid either.
in 2020 Trump paroled 5000 Taliban from prison, agreed to withdraw from the country and hand over power to them in 2021.
in 2025, Trump is sending the Taliban tens of millions of dollars
Republicans are calling out the Trump administration after $45 million was reportedly sent to the Taliban in Afghanistan by the Department of State on Monday.
Among those reacting to the reports was Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, who has introduced a bill aimed at stopping tax dollars from being given to the group that regained control of Afghanistan in 2021.Republicans are calling out the Trump administration after $45 million was reportedly sent to the Taliban in Afghanistan by the Department of State on Monday.

The money in question was congressionally approved for use by international organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to help the people of Afghanistan following the United States’ withdrawal after 20 years. Two years ago, the State Department said it had stopped sending money following the 2021 withdrawal, insisting that the federal government was not funding the Taliban.
(ok, putting forum MAGAs down for being cool with Trump paroling the Taliban in 2020, signing a deal to surrender power to them in 2021 and sending them tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money to them four years later)
Amazingly, 4 years is not the longest time between when I've posted something and when it's been quoted in response to.

I like to update stories in dedicated threads, if possible. Gives context.
Sorry if I gave you a start!
Trump covers the USA with dishonor
So far zero Trumpies in this forum have justified the Trump surrender deal with the Taliban in 2020
But they all blamed Biden for keeping the promise Trump made and actually leaving
