US funding Taliban
« on: February 01, 2025, 07:14:46 PM »
 For anyone not aware, the US gov has been sending $60-$80 million per month to the Taliban through some sort of aid. There is proposed legislation to end the funding of terrorist organizations with U.S. tax dollars. Below is a link in case you want to contact your representatives to advocate for it.

The Taliban is considered a terrorist organization by several countries,
including the United States, although it has not been officially designated
as such by the U.S. State Department.

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

 The $60-80 million dollars per month came from several interviews that include Sarah Adams (former CIA analyst), Cmdr Ahmad Massoud (Afghan Rebelian commander), and “Legend” (intel asset from Afghanistan). The below linked interviews lay it all out. There are several earlier interviews with Sarah Adams on the SRS channel that also goes into greater details about the 5Ws. Because the details of these interviews and others like them, legislation is being submitted in order to take corrective action.

I have heard these types of payments discussed as ways we deal with the world. It seems much of our "friendships" and peace with other countries are  basically us paying them to be on our side. This definitely seems like waste but I think sometimes it may be an unfortunate reality in dealing with other countries in terms of the pros and cons. I find it hard to justify buying the Taliban off though.

Or it's obey us or we will cut off funding.  See Venezuela as an example.
