    Bomb a country into impoverishment and then post smug memes about how starving all their civilians to death is morally superior to what the Taliban is doing.

      You’re making some logical leaps here that I can’t follow. I looked at the original meme and it just seems to be pointing out that both putin and the Taliban are terrorists. How do you get starving civilians being morally superior from that .

        The OP meme is mocking the Taliban for their lack of money. The Taliban don’t have money because the US stole the Afghan government’s funds and imposed sanctions.

        The result of this has been the worst famine in the world during the period between shortly after the withdrawal and shortly after Oct 7. OP believes that this is liberating for afghan women because they think the Taliban need money to oppress women or something.

            I’m just going to bargain with you on this one, as you seem sensible. I have nothing but love for the Afgan people, I am directly targeting the Taliban with these memes. But everyone is trying to turn them into a blanket of all of Afganastan. I’m trying to say fuck the Nazis and everyone’s saying well Germans are starving. I am quoting a old show where they joke about the Soviet union who was invading Afganastam at the time ironically.
