Why Did the United States Help Ukraine and Not Afghanistan?

The Middle East has had tensions with the United States of America for a long time…

The withdrawal from Afghanistan will go down in history as one of America’s biggest disasters.

It’s a tragedy for the people of Afghanistan and a disgraceful example of leadership from the West.

For a country that loves to “advocate for peace,” this situation could have very easily been prevented, and anyone with a quarter of a brain would question why it was handled so poorly.

When we look at the way America has handled foreign relations with the Middle East, it really doesn’t come as much of a surprise that this was such a disaster.

The Biden administration re-assured Americans that the withdrawal would be conducted in an orderly fashion, and that the Afghanistan government would be stable upon America’s departure.

Of course, that didn’t happen, and as soon as we exited, the government in Afghanistan collapsed.

Tragically, the Taliban took over the country in just a few weeks and the rest of the world just stood back and watched.

The United Nations estimates that 93% of all Afghans are not getting enough food to eat, and just over 8 million people are facing starvation.

Sadly, women and those part of the LGBTQ community have been stripped of their rights. Women are dependent upon the men in their families to gain access to healthcare, an education, and work…

How Did We Allow the Taliban to Take Over an Entire Nation?!

It almost seems intentional…

Most Americans do not trust the government.

Therefore, how can we trust that allowing the Taliban to take over Afghanistan wasn’t “part of the plan?”

Everything is intentional. To say that this was simply a “mistake,” is difficult for most to believe. Even if it were a mistake, why didn’t we then make up for our poor choices?

How do we know that President Biden didn’t take bribes from the Taliban? We already know that President Biden has done shady things with Ukraine and his son, Hunter Biden, so why wouldn’t we expect him to do similar things with other countries?

Most people have come to terms with the idea that foreign nations and organizations have a larger influence over the outcome of this country than the American voters themselves.

The Clinton Foundation received $7.3 million from Saudi Arabians from 1999 to 2014…

Accepting money from foreign nations is nothing new for our politicians…

Why Did the United States Help Ukraine and Not Afghanistan?

The United States sent $40 BILLION to the Ukraine.

The aid package provides $19 billion for immediate military support to Ukraine, to supposedly continue “the effort that has been vital to sustaining Ukrainian resistance.” A large sum of $3.9 billion went towards deploying U.S. forces to Europe and the remainder of the package sent $16 billion for economic support to Ukraine, global humanitarian relief, and a wide variety of international programs as well as $2 billion for long-term support to NATO allies and DOD modernization programs.

Now, President Zelensky is asking for MORE MONEY.

The Ukraine needs close to $7 billion in support per month… according to President Zelensky

It’s very difficult for people to understand why the Ukraine is worthy of support and yet other nations aren’t…

Is Afghanistan not as important as the Ukraine?

America exits Afghanistan and allows the Taliban to takeover without even bothering to support or help the nation after leaving them in shambles. How is this SANE?!

We (The United States), look like hypocrites.

To say that America “cares so deeply” about other nations and got involved with the Ukraine to “help” them, is very difficult to believe. 

Women and those part of the LGBTQ community are being oppressed.

The people of Afghanistan are starving and women are not receiving an education

We can blame the Taliban, but who allowed the Taliban to take-over?!

United Nations Reports Nearly 20 Million Afghans Are Going Hungry

Richard Trenchard, the FAO Representative in the country, described the food security situation as dire.

“Humanitarian assistance remains desperately important, as do the needs to rebuild shattered agricultural livelihoods and re-connect farmers and rural communities to struggling rural and urban markets across the country.”

Unless this happens, there will be no way out of this crisis,” he said.

Global Tensions are Higher than Ever Before…

Our world is a mess right now. Every single country around the world is struggling financially, economically, and socially.

In a recent survey, 28% of Americans said they would take arms to fight their own government if it meant “getting their country back.”

Tensions in the United States are higher than ever before…

Some economists are predicting the collapse of the financial systems and entire nations…
