Seems to me that with western money drying up due to not wanting to give cash to the Taliban, things are going back to what they were before the US invasion.
Stealing 7 billion in assets isn’t “not wanting to give cash”. That’s their money.
Before the last war the Russians screwed up the country and they were dealing with the after effects of that war. Now the Americans are leaving the country in the same war torn state and somehow blame it all on the Taliban. What are you trying to say exactly?
The US is under no obligation to give an enemy money held by the Federal Reserve. Also, the Taliban shares no blame for that war torn state? They weren’t exactly paragons of good governance last time either. Maybe if they spent more time working on economic development instead of executing thieves and beating women for going to school I’d be marginally less critical of their regime.
I’m saying that the US naively tried and failed to nation build in Afghanistan. Trillions were spent on infrastructure and schools which was in hindsight a failure. Afghanistan was war torn before, during, and now after US occupation.
