So you are simply wrong on all counts.
So because we don't trust a government to properly distribute the funds perfectly, the better option is to just guarantee that millions will be impacted and many of those will starve to death? Guaranteeing starvation for millions doesn't sound like the moral pathway to me, and you're kidding yourself by trying to convince yourself that it is. If you do it this way, the blood/ starvation is on your hands and on America's hands, not on the Taliban. And this is not an amount of money that's going to make or break America. It's a number of billions of dollars, but it's still a pittance to America, but the money could do so much for the people of Afghanistan who are living in extreme poverty and starving. If Biden wanted to give money to 9/11 families, he could have done that with money from American taxpayers. There is no need to steal Afghanistan's money to take care of 9/11 families. The truth is, the theocratic shit for brains GOP will use this to call the Dems Taliban sympathizers, and many voters will fall for that line of thinking, but fuck it. There are millions of Afghanis that will be impacted by this, so screw what the GOP says. Do the right thing. Biden did the right thing by leaving Afghanistan and took the media hit for that.
