    I find this meme to be absolutely vile.

    The good people of Afghanistan have been under violent US occupation for decades, and as their final move, the US looted the central banking reserves.

    This effectively drained the savings of everyday Afghanis. They no longer have access to their bank accounts. The US stole all the money.

    I often wonder, would the good people of Afghanistan be able to overthrow the evil leadership of the Taliban? I wish they could, but overthrowing the Taliban is much less likely when the US has left you in a state of devastation, poverty, and famine.

    Then those same western chauvinists can post memes like this, delighting in the Afghan people’s suffering after causing so much of it. Disgusting.

        I never said anything at all about Afghanistan.

        You posted a meme about the current leadership of Afghanistan.

        I think it’s terrible the state if affairs.

        Then why would you post a meme smugly extolling the virtues of the current state of affairs? You can’t have it both ways.
