Trump admin sending Taliban $45M sparks Republican backlash

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Why would we be sending any money to Afghanistan, a country under the rule of an oppressive regime, knowing full well that money is not going to the people, but to the Taliban and their terrorist activities? Trump criticized Biden's handling of withdrawal from the nation, rightfully so, so why is his administration now funding these people? Is this America first?

Republicans are calling out the Trump administration after $45 million was reportedly sent to the Taliban in Afghanistan by the Department of State on Monday.

Among those reacting to the reports was Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, who has introduced a bill aimed at stopping tax dollars from being given to the group that regained control of Afghanistan in 2021.

Why would we be sending any money to Afghanistan,

I guess if you were actually POTUS, you might know, but if you are upset over a mere 45 million toward some unknown cause (which you might agree with), where were you these past 20 years when we blew a trillion dollars there or about 22,000 times more money.

You know this how? The articles say the funding is going to NGOs. Not to the Taliban government.

Besides. you know MSN lies just like CNN.

The Taliban is a listed terrorist organization, with connections to other listed terrorist organization, such as al-Qaeda.
The Taliban came to controlling power in Afghanistan, after we finally got the hell out.
Trump supports terrorism, to the tune of $45,000,000 Dollar$.

Where did it say he sent the money to the Taliban government?

Yeah I know all that. But I don't know what the 45 Mil are for and apparently neither do you, so it is all a moot point. Probably a better idea would be to find out what it was for first before complaining about it.

I mean, if Trump spends the same way as the democrats do, then it would not surprise me if that 45 mil was to erect a 30 foot singing, playing speaking statue of Elvis Presley in downtown Kabul Afghanistan! And even that would be a far far better use than the excesses discovered by DOGE last winter.

BTW, Obumma and Biden supported terrorist organizations, these boats are terror organizations, many of these illegals are part of terror organizations and Antifa is a terror organization, and do you know who supports or has supported all of these?

Correct. I have no idea, why we would give $45 Million Dollars to terrorist, intentionally. I simply do not approve, PERIOD. I would not give them the sweat off my balls.

If he wants 30ft Elvis statue in Kabul, it is only 30 ft, could be built here, shipped there and be erected with CIA masking as contractors.

This has something to do with boats in Afghanistan? Nope. Try to stay on topic.

There is a zero chance I would agree with it.

Did you know that it isn't required to automatically agree with EVERY SINGLE thing Trump does all ALL the time?
I think the cult allows a little dissent every once in a while doesn't it?

The controversy began when Amrullah Saleh, the anti-Taliban Afghanistan Green Trend leader based in Kabul, reported that $45 million in “freshly printed” cash had been flown into the country on a chartered aircraft. He claimed the group controls the Central Bank of Afghanistan. Because of this control, it could gain access to the money or benefit from it through its financial systems.

Burchett says the U.S. has already sent more than $5 billion to Afghanistan since the group took over in 2021. He believes much of it has slipped into their hands through taxes and fees.

However, critics argue that even when the U.S. tries to bypass the Taliban, the group still finds ways to benefit. For example:

• The Taliban controls major banking systems
• The Taliban imposes taxes and fees on groups operating in the country
• The Taliban oversees airports and customs points
• The Taliban monitors NGO activities

So trump goes from sending money to countries all over the planet, to terrorists. America first baby!

Does it matter? Taliban control everything.

I mean, if Trump spends the same way as the democrats do,

Oh, he does. A simple google could explain it to you.

BTW, Obumma and Biden supported terrorist organizations,

So trump is like obama and biden. Gotcha

Knowing 47, he probably cut a deal with the Taliban.. We know he cut the former Government of Afghanistan out of the deal made in his first term, he could just returning a bad favor.

So then it stands to reason that Trump must have had some exceptional reason and it would be wise to find out before complaining.

 

[toobfreak]

Yet you fail to post that here.

So trump is like obama and biden.

If they are, then it stands to reason there must be some compelling reason for the payment that extends beyond mere administrations that has been going on for a very long time. Seems to me that if you are so concerned about it, that someone should then find out why.

Not necessarily. He is getting senile, and prone to go with whatever the last person said to him. We have all seen the articles on his health and mental state, similar to the Biden days.

Ok mr. Lazy ass. His debt was over 8 trillion. The most spent in one term in american history.

There must some compelling reason to send millions to other countries for queer programs too. Since they all did it, right?
The taliban control everything in Afghanistan. Even the NGOs. This is ******* bullshit. Try to drop the cult for 5 seconds and think.

Why don't you post the best of those articles here for others to critique? Is this another article where 500 doctors never examining him all concluded he could go any day now?

I don't need no stinking article, yes, I've seen some indication of Trump fatigue, but that is a far hop from the senility Biden suffers (which you were OK with), Trump just needs to stop pushing himself so hard and take more breaks.

Prison would have been a very nice break for the incompetent old fool.

Think what? I will reserve your cultish knee-jerk thinking and wait for you to find out and tell us exactly what the 45 million was for and why, then I'll decide whether to be mad or not.

I can think of one reason right off: Trump wants that air base back, Bagram? Biden never should have given it away. That air base which we built is perfect for our needs to keep a handle on the Chinese.
