No country has so far officially recognized the Taliban as Afghanistan’s government due to their hard-line policies. The drastic erosion of women’s rights continues.

    Bro, you must be living in lala land if you think for a micro second that the Taliban would let the Afghan people keep that money.

    They would instantly take the money and buy more bombs and weapons that would hurt more people. Probably buy them from Russia or North Korea. Make it worse for Ukraine.

      Even if your cartoonish depiction of the Taliban was true, it is not a good justification for the US to freeze all of the bank accounts in Afghanistan.

        First of all, it’s not all banks. It’s Afghan banks located in the United States. Secondly, they are far from being cartoonish.
