Let's run with that, though, its pretty bad to do bad shit to people. Should we give people who do bad shit to people some money?
It's always fear mongering over terrorism with you. The sky is falling and you need to fear the whites because of terrorism. Fear the browns because of terrorism, while your country gives billions to and sells arms to the biggest funder of terrorism in the Saudis.
The Taliban gave Al Qaeda safe haven and you killed hundreds of thousands of their citizens as revenge. Sounds like a fair trade off and we can call it even at this point. Deal? If the US was that worried about terrorism coming out of Afghanistan, they probably wouldn't have pulled out in the first place. This is not a real concern. It's a bullshit virtue signalling against terrorism which is of no threat to you and yours, or Europe and theirs. You're trying to give a purity test to a third world country that is poor as shit and hasn't advanced yet as much as our society has. We should expect them to be immoral as fuck with the conditions they are living in. The US military left the place so Afghanistan could try to make something of their own. We knew the Taliban would be in charge and we made peace with them. "But... but...but... they're the Taliban!" is not an argument you can use anymore. We knowingly handed over the place to them, and after we've fucked their place up so bad, we owe it to them to not only take in refugees and all of that, but we owe it to them to not steal their shit that they need to eat and not die.
