Trump admin sending Taliban $45M sparks Republican backlash

[MagicMike]

Jesus ******* christ. It doesnt matter what it was for! It is going to the taliban.
Goddamn, you cultists need to have your brains examined after your death.

These fools believe that shit about Trump plays 3-D chess.

 

[toobfreak]

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.

See SeaMajor7? All it takes is asking the Left for the actual proof upon which to base their Trump attacks to shut them up. Ask for proof and you get back 50 fleeing Funnies.

Jesus ******* christ. It doesnt matter what it was for! It is going to the taliban.

So, if it is for feeding the staving people in Gaza, you are still against it.
Getting back access to the Bagram Air Base to maintain national security over China and you'd still be against it.

You claim there can be no good reason whatsoever for giving 45 mil to Afghanistan yet there can be no BAD reason for giving the criminal regime in Ukraine 600 BILLION dollars (most of which Zelensky admits was stolen and he never got) and you think I AM the one in a CULT???



Jesus ******* crist is right. Go look in a ******* mirror.

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!

This policy appears to have started during Biden, but the 45 million a week seems to have continued.

The story is from February 23, 2023.

The Future of Assistance for Afghanistan: A Dilemma

Three years after the fall of Kabul, international assistance for Afghanistan is at a crossroads. As donor fatigue sets in and aid dwindles, stakeholders must grapple with how to address the country’s critical humanitarian needs without legitimizing the Taliban’s rule.

REP. TIM BURCHETT: Your Tax Dollars Are Going To The Taliban

It is common knowledge that the Afghanistan withdrawal was a complete disaster, but lots of people do not know that the Biden administration has been sending cash to the Taliban every week since then.

Yes, I dont want to fund terrorists. You do, and thats fine. Dear leader told you to accept it.

Lol im way farther right than you could ever be. And i havent fled.
And its weird you post this, and then funny my post.
Not much on awareness today, huh?

 

[toobfreak]

Yes, I dont want to fund terrorists.

What do you think you did when you pulled out of Afghanistan leaving a new air base and 80 billion in new military gear parked there? You don't think you funded terrorists? How cultish of you. Snap out of it, TN!

You do, and thats fine.

I do? What article did you read that in? Can you at least post that much???

Dear leader told you to accept it.

I have a dear leader? Any video of this momentous event? Even an audio tape will do. Can you provide ANYTHING to support your wild, cultish claims?

You see TN, your 'cult' claims are weak and meaningless--- people like you like to throw the "cult" term around simply because it makes it easier for you to discount and discredit the messenger since you suck so bad at disproving the message.

 

[TNHarley]

What do you think you did when you pulled out of Afghanistan leaving a new air base and 80 billion in new military gear parked there? You don't think you funded terrorists? How cultish of you. Snap out of it, TN!

And for some reason you think I supported that?

I do? What article did you read that in? Can you at least post that much???

You are justifying it in this thread. Right now.

You see TN, your 'cult' claims are weak and meaningless

Yet, you guys cant prove me wrong. You just double and triple down on it.

 

[toobfreak]

You are justifying it in this thread. Right now.

I justified nothing. I asked what the 45 million was for. I cannot criticize the payment until I know what and why it was made. BTW, this was 45 million not BILLION.

Yet, you guys cant prove me wrong.

I have not even tried. Prove you wrong for what? Even you cannot say what the 45 million is for!
Find out what the 45 mil was for, and show that it was foolishly spent, then I'll join you in complaining.

 

[TNHarley]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd again, its going to the taliban. Who in the **** cares what its supposed to be for?

 

[toobfreak]

And again, its going to the taliban.

How do you know?

Who in the **** cares what its supposed to be for?

Apparently you do without knowing any details. Now THAT is cultish.

 

[TNHarley]

How do you know?


Apparently you do without knowing any details. Now THAT is cultish.

The taliban control afghanistan. The banks, airports, borders, NGOs etc. They raise their taxes and get all the money they got. Do you not know anything about how afghanistan is being run right now?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Can anyone quote the ARTICLE linked by OP where it claims TRUMP GAVE $45 million to the Taliban and explains why?

I see nothing.

What am I missing?

 

[XponentialChaos]

Make Afghanistan Great Again.

 

[toobfreak]

The taliban control afghanistan. The banks, airports, borders, NGOs etc.

Trump runs the USA too, yet, there are all kinds of illegal things going on without his knowledge nor access. Like the 23 illegals found in a truck the other day. Did Trump send them or know they were there until caught? Still says nothing without your knowing WHAT THE MONEY IS BEING PAID FOR AND BEING USED FOR, Mate.

Again, I dont like funding terrorists. So IDC what the money is supposedly used for.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Trump just GAVE them $45 million for shits and giggles?

 

[toobfreak]

I don't like funding terrorists either. ITMT, the USA has been funding terrorists every which way for a very long time. So before I denounce this payment, I simply want to know why it was given and what it is really being used for.

 

[Rogue AI]

People whine if Trump doesn't spend funds authorized by Congress, those same people whine when Trump spends money authorized by Congress. The take away, people who whine about Trump are no longer worth listening to.

Apparently TDS also has a new symptom that renders folks illiterate. Although not unexpected, it is sad to see it in every other thread. All relevant information is in the article.

Lastly. Rep. Burchett is either the most ignorant member of Congress or a useless drama queen. Congress authorized these funds, should he not know that? Should he not introduce legislation to fix this instead of whining like a *****? He's supposed to be a Republican, how pathetic that he acts like a Democrat.

 

[YoursTruly]

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.

And Trump doesn't?
