The United States is bankrolling the Taliban
Nope, couldn’t make this one up if I wanted to. Report by the special inspector general for Afghan reconstruction, SIGAR. Afghan reconstruction. I thought we pulled the hell out of there, left all of our weapons, left billion dollar bases, did it in a really god awful, stupid as hell manner, but no, no. This inspector general notes that the Biden administration has given, wait for it. $2.35 billion to Afghanistan over the past two years. Yeah, the Taliban is running the country. The Taliban, the ones we were fighting against, now we’re giving them money? Yeah. The report found that approximately 1.7 billion remained available for possible disbursement. It’s more than likely that a sizable portion of these funds will end up in the terror group’s coffers. The Taliban are viewing international aid as a revenue stream, which further states that the group is comfortable accepting foreign support insofar as they can closely monitor the organizations, including restricting and controlling them, and claim some credit for the provision of benefits. Guys, I couldn’t make this up if I wanted to. And again, we’ll talk about more handouts and giveaways. Money we don’t have! Money we don’t have, we just approved another $200 million for Ukraine. What do we have to now? I’m trying to get the number. It’s over $18 billion, if I’m not mistaken, that we’ve given to the Ukraine in our proxy war that’s taking place over there. Anybody else from around the world, you wanna help out with this or are we just gonna fund the entire thing? Anyway, Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
