The White House said Tuesday it will provide $308 million in new humanitarian aid for Afghanistan, as the country teeters toward a full-scale humanitarian crisis and economic collapse under the Taliban. In addition, the U.S. will send 1 million additional COVID-19 tests to the country, which has been in a tailspin since the Taliban government took over following the U.S. military withdrawal in August. The new assistance will come from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and flow through independent humanitarian organizations, White House spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement. It will be used to provide shelter, health care services, winterization assistance, emergency food, aid, water,

The Taliban have been having difficulty locating American citizens - - and killing them.
This money form the Despicable Joe regime - - should help them do a better job.

Why? Don't we WANT them to fail. That is like giving the burglar the key to your house.

The aid we provide is going to flow through independent organizations. This sounds like a situation rife with opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse (of people and funds!). I sincerely doubt these funds will benefit very many Afghans. Most of it will enrich warlords and their cronies.

When you're already broke, why not waste 3 billion more $ on Trashcanistan. Guess Biden didn't feel he screwed things up enough so he is going make 'US' pay his expenses.

Wonderful. The Taliban gets another $308 million for more weapons and food for their soldiers. Business as usual. The absolute stupidity goes on.

The Taliban actively supported and protected 911 terrorists. So we go from trying to destroy them to actually financing them under Democrats.

What? Eighty-four billion in free military aid wasn't enough? I thought they were selling some of that military equipment. I just saw a piece about the Taliban is now one of the largest dealers in U.S. military equipment.

If the Taliban are hard up for cash they can sell some of the 85 billion in weapons Biden and Milley gave them.

WHAT????? Have we not left enough billions in military equipment behind??? What happened? The Taliban stole all that, then forced the natives to ask those stupid weak Americans for more. If you don't get it pretend it's for 'humanitarian aid' food, families so that they can give us more kids to rape.... make it dramatic, their so called prez is dumber than a plank of wood!
Our 'dough' will flow through independent humanitarian organizations!! Right!!! Bill Gates involved??? Soros?? Just asking!

We will give you the money in exchange for every military piece of equipment that we left behind. Every bolt, every screw. Then no more, not one penny.
