The Biden administration has pledged to provide over $300 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. “This brings total US humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and for Afghan refugees in the region to nearly $782 million since October 2021″, making America “the single largest donor of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan.”
US tax dollars will end up in the hands of the Taliban, enabling them to wage jihad and expand the scope of the Sharia. In the process, the Taliban will be committing the worst human rights abuses imaginable, especially against women and minorities.
Two months ago, the Taliban wrote to the US Congress to ask for money. Breitbart reported that the jihadist group “is unlikely to find much sympathy in the U.S. Congress,” and went on to state:
In August, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rob Portman (R-OH) wrote to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen urging the U.S. to lead a global campaign to keep Afghan assets out of Taliban hands. The Taliban are sponsors of terrorism who maintain close ties with Al-Qaeda, and therefore they cannot be trusted to distribute money to the Afghan people who desperately need it,” their statement read, “and will instead use any and all funds to actively advance priorities hostile to U.S. interests.”
The Taliban deny ties to al-Qaeda, though they have appointed senior members of the Haqqani Network, a jihadist terror cell with close ties to al-Qaeda, to major government posts.
But the skeptics in Congress are not aligned with the Biden Administration. The latter even “denied ties between the Taliban and the Haqqani Network in August.”
The tax dollars of the American people, especially during a severe economic downturn, should not be blindly sent over to Afghanistan when it is obvious that a significant portion will be used by the Taliban to fund jihad terror and human rights abuses.
“Biden administration promises $308m in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan”, by Nathan Place, Independent, January 11, 2022:
The United States will provide more than $300 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, the Biden administration has announced.
“The United States is announcing a new contribution of more than $308 million in humanitarian assistance for the people of Afghanistan,” Emily Horne, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, said in a statement on Tuesday.
“This brings total US humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and for Afghan refugees in the region to nearly $782 million since October 2021, and we remain the single largest donor of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan.”
Earlier this year, the Biden administration abruptly withdrew US military forces from Afghanistan after 20 years of fighting off the Taliban, an Islamic fundamentalist regime that quickly regained power after the withdrawal. But in the NSC’s statement, American officials said they were not abandoning the country.
“The United States is committed to supporting the Afghan people and we continue to consider all options available to us,” Ms Horne said. “We stand with the people of Afghanistan.”
Ms Horne said the aid, provided by the United States Agency for International Development, is meant to alleviate suffering in the country caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and other problems, including “drought, malnutrition, and the winter season”.
Specifically, the money is intended to fund shelter, health care, food, water, sanitation, winterisation, and other services for the Afghan people.
Afghanistan’s economy has badly suffered since the Taliban returned….

I dont know how jo sleeps at night, but on 2nd thoughts I guess by 9pm he has forgotten what awful things he did that day.
We are also seeing UK Gov doin the same, aiding the enemy, I read they recon only 30% will end up in talibums hands, in your dreams boris.

The vast majority of Afghans said they wanted strict Sharia. Now they have it and they want out. What totally delusional people. Are we responsible for their cognitive distortions?
The Bribed-man would have paid less if they had left troops at the bases in Afghastlistan to back up the Afghan army which controlled the incursions of the Taliban.
The Bribed-man is compounding the disaster … the US is still involved in Afghastlistan under the most mismanaging dictators … similar to the bunch in the White House. What a bunch of preposterous charlatans.

Yes, he is pouring kerosene on his self-inflicted fire.
Infidel Task force says
“There are an estimated 553,742 people in the United States experiencing homelessness on a given night, according to the most recent national point-in-time estimate (January 2017). This represents a rate of approximately 17 people experiencing homelessness per every 10,000 people in the general population.”
mortimer says
Yes, agree with ITF. And their response is to bring in 2 million MORE illegal homeless people.
spiro says
Infidel task force that’s well put and sadly true
Our borders are open
Deadly drugs cross our southern boarder from China
Some of our cities resemble war zones
Our national debt is the elephant in the room nobody talks about much less do anything
Now a stolen election gives us a dictator using executive action to rule over us
But yet we have money to give away to terrorist
And congress does nothing
30 pieces of silver
Give them bread and and circus
Walter Sieruk says
That treacherous and evil Joe Biden has the fiendish gall to fund and support the vicious and murderous Taliban enemy under the smokescreen of sending “humanitarian assistance” At the American taxpayer emoney. What and outrageous affront ! Not only is that treasonous Biden giving aid to the enemy but that money could be invested in repairing the roads and bridges of America and other important things as well.
This is a slap in the face to all the American families who had their sons die as US soldiers fighting the Taliban with Biden is now supporting.
Likewise, this also a slap in the face to all the American soldiers who have been maimed and crippled for life in Afghanistan because of the Taliban .. This is a further slap in the face to the families of those brave but injured solders.
Much of the money “aid” could and should be better put into medical care and physical rehabilitation and therapy disabled and impaired former American former American soldiers who are in this terrible
condition because of the Taliban.
Finally it should be remembered that only the most naive person would feel that the “aid” sent would really go to the poor and needy people of Afghanistan who are now trapped in that land and suffering under the brutal and cruel oppressive , Taliban tyranny.
The thieving Taliban will pilfer that “aid” supplies send for themselves and let the Afghan people have just a very little bit of the materials sent and only when the world’s press is around to record it for propaganda reasons only.
So Biden should be fittingly given the title of “Joe Biden the most treasonous ,treacherous despicable anti-American villain who ever sat in the Oval Office of the White House.”

Well said Walter, no doubt the Taliban and other terrorists will take all that money for themselves. The US wasted trillions of dollars on the Muslim world over decades and got nothing in return but more terrorism.
Osama bin Laden wanted to bleed the US dry in endless mideast wars, and everything has been going according to plan, so Islam is winning.
The Democrats spend taxpayer money as if there is a vast river of endlessly flowing money….but not on their fellow Americans who are desperately needed, but rather on failed states full of terrorists and America haters.
That money would’ve been better spent to actually democratize the mideast and I’d be fine if it was forcibly Christianized, almost anything is better than the worst, most evil ideology ever invented-Islam.
But all that money was completely wasted and Muslims still hate us. If things keep going in a negative direction we could find ourselves in a civil war against the Red-Green Alliance or WW3 against Islam.
Fitna says
I see why King Saud called the US his favorite slave. What more can you ask for than bleeding-heart, wealthy, gullible, cowardly dum-basses willing to give away the bank to the biggest tyrants, warlords and terrorists in the world.
No need to be a street thug with a knife, sticking-up people for a handful of cash. All you need to do is be a terrorist, set up an Islamic charity pretending to help downtrodden Muslims in other countries, then watch the millions of dollars roll in from senile, incompetent, foolish do-gooders.
So now you get to wage jihad and get richly rewarded on Earth from the same people you victimize and in the afterlife. But keep your eyes on Trump and “domestic terrorists” ie-Conservatives. /sarc

Fitna,
Oh, how I wish that you were wrong…
Kenneth J Johnson says
Where is our congress?? I thought the Congress was a powerful body. Doesn’t congress have conrol over the money, or doesn’´t it?? KEN
Infidel says
Right now, it’s still in control of the Dems, so not much luck. But the next Congress should really slash any aid, and demand accountability from the Pentagon and State Department
john smith says
It’s a massive mistake to give the taliban any money as the needed wont get to see a penny of it. But I do believe in helping malnourished children out, by supplying them with food.
