At least $293 million have likely filled the coffers of the Taliban since the 2021 U.S. military withdrawal due to State Department failing to properly vet award recipients. 🤣

solidarity with the people who joined the american beauracracy to just give away american money to anyone in the third world who asked.
Didn't we freeze like $8 bil in their state assets when we left tho?
Seems disproportionate
yeah, US stole Afghanistan's sovereign funds
Yeah, this is more of a pointing out in what mess is US bureocracy.
Small Typo with the post title, it was 293 million. Nearly 300 mil going to people who actually deserve it.
oops
Critical support for the "Throw Money At It" approach
How can I get some of this money?
Why would they give a fuck if the Taliban gets money? The US loves right wing fundamentalists, especially when they're on China's border.
Either the US gets to go back to sort em out, or they bleed into Ughyurstan and exacerbate China's problems.
This is not an accident at all. This is journalism that pretends to be holding the USG accountable, while legitimising it's image as a bumbling empire who somehow always stumbles into war, rather than an empire who creates the situations in order to wage war.
Taliban and China are actually getting along just fine right now. The whole reason US was in Afghanistan is precisely so they could keep it unstable. Now that there is an actual government, even if it is the Taliban, it's far more stable than it's been under the occupation.
