And YOU voted for those that facilitated Spectacular Money Laundering Operations that enrich corrupt evil people! 👺

"Women detained after protesting for their rights describe horrific treatment, including electrocution, beatings with cables, and being deprived of food, water, and medical care"

The Taliban r despicable, Marianne, but I don't think the war in Afghanistan was about women's rights just like the Iraq war was never about freedom. As terrible as the situation for women in Kabul may be, it's still illegal to invade a country. We should condemn not invade.

A report "Death in Slow Motion Women and Girls Under the Taliban", comes one year after the Taliban’s return to power ... determined to expunge women from all social involvement ... women have been sacked from their jobs, banned from secondary school and all higher education

The goal of the Afghanistan war was to enrich weapons manufacturers and exploit the country’s natural resources. It was spectacularly successful in that regard. Human rights is irrelevant under capitalist imperialism

We didn’t fail because we never tried. Advancing and improving the lives of the Afghan people was never the mission.

It was a shocker!

It was designed that way.

Nor should we have abandoned them.

Those trillions were a transfer of public money into the bank accounts of armament manufacturers and their shareholders over a period of twenty years. Afghans are irrelevant in this. It could be any country and I suggest that Ukraine is being used in the same type of scam.
