I couldn't believe how there wasn't a public out cry by all parties when the Republicans deliberately made it harder to vote for people living in areas where their count would be low.

There is a Godzilla-sized cunt-ton of public outcry. But our news services have tribalized.

"Since the Taliban took power in August, it has been prevented from accessing financial assets held overseas.
The US in August froze nearly $US9.5 ($AU13) billion in assets that belong to Afghanistan’s central bank. Most of that money is held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The UN said in September that the assets should be unfrozen to avoid “a severe economic downturn.”
An October report from The Times of London said that Taliban officials asked the US to unfreeze the assets in a face-to-face meeting, but did not make any headway."
And where did the previous American Afghani president work at?
"The International Monetary Fund said Afghanistan can’t access its resources anymore, and The World Bank announced it would no longer give funding to projects in the country. "

The Taliban banned foreign currencies as Afghanistan nears financial collapse with billions frozen overseas
The US dollar is widely used in Afghanistan, but the Taliban now say that people can only use the Afghani currency.

A lot of locals in the National Guard were there (and/or Iraq) 3 and 4 times. None killed and few wounded, bit it has still left a mark on our little county.

"An Afghan prisoner held in U.S. custody for nearly 15 years has been released from the Guantanamo Bay detention center after a federal court ruled that he was unlawfully detained, the U.S. Department of Defense said Friday."
"The United States opened the detention center under President George W. Bush in January 2002 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the invasion of Afghanistan to capture al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. It was intended at the time to hold and interrogate those suspected of having links to al-Qaida or the Taliban, who had sheltered bin Laden."
But yet Bush let all the Bin Ladens that were in America fly out whist the sky was closed..

"— The House on Wednesday approved a significant expansion of health care and disability benefits for millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Lets hope there is a package for Iraq and Afghani's as well who are suffering.
