But on an unrelated note......81 people is not very many people, chump change really, and people die all the time from all kinds of causes. What makes this particular case special?
After withdrawing American forces from Afghanistan, Biden confiscated billions of dollars in Afghan funds from foreign banks. Then he gave half of it to people affected by 9-11, even though the Afghani people had little or nothing to do with 9-11. Basically Biden stole it, because he could. Some of it he will "give back" to Afghanistan as aid, which we can feel kind and generous about.
Anyway, far more than 81 people will die as a result of having their money stolen during a harsh winter when the economy was in bad shape anyway.
So you're right, in relation to the evils done consistently by the USA, 81 is chump change.
But the 81 in question were killed by Muslims, so it gives us license to get all mad and high and mighty and blame some amorphous thing called "religion." Because it isn't really about morality. It's about us vs. them.
