The people wanted the taliban, they got the taliban.

 

Live with your choices,  

 

 

 

The Taliban didn't cause an Earthquake. Irrespective of the government, help from the outside would always be needed.

 

Mexico routinely sends firefighters to help both the US and Canada to help fight wildfires. The fact their help is needed is nothing to do with Republican or Democrat policy failure. Its a fact that full time resource can never be put in place for such unpredictable emergencies.

 

When Hurricane Katrina struck, countries from around the world offered and provided aid. Countries like Canada, Austria, Denmark, Germany, France, provided technical specialists. Many many countries, such as Singapore, provided extra aircrews and aircraft. Aid offered by the UK, in the form of emergency ration packs, was rejected due to BSE. Cuba offered 1500 doctors, also declined; Cuba attempted to send their winnings from the World Baseball Classic to victims, but the State Department. Poverty stricken Afghanistan sent over $100,000.

Your view that humanitarian aid should only be given for political reasons is wicked. You think that Americans donate to international causes to gain personal advantage. Maybe those are values you live  by, but they are not the values of most people.

We can all use Google. Google AI is not a reliable source and this has been proven in many of your posts, please stop posting screenshots of it as fact, it is tedious.

Regardless, MicroB's points were excellent. If Katrina happened again tomorrow we should all suspend aid because your country is run by a human Cheeto lunatic and we don't know where the money will go. 

And the fact the the US rejected aid based on politics is a disgrace. But then it was mainly black people who were affected so hey, Bush didn't really care.

 

Also don't  forget our close friends in Pakistan, they experiencing floods like never seen before.

 

I would like to contribute ---but my Garden hose just isn't long enough.......

comparisons to how other countries handle aid is a bit of an 'apples & oranges' comparison.

 

AI answers the query fast, then you are free to search for verifying links.  I don't care enough to post all that I find.   Feel free to post links that counter the US didn't end aid due to corruption and not reaching the folks that it was intended for.

 

I also don't trust AI as it relies on what info is available on the internet, which most realize has be scrubbed of any info going against MSM propaganda ... IMHO.   

 

And the USA did NOT suspend all aid, and are surely helping now ...

Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers have called for international help after a huge earthquake killed hundreds of people and leveled entire villages, piling further misery on the war-ravaged country that was already grappling with food shortages and cuts to foreign aid.

Only when they stop terror acts, and treat their women with respect they can get any help.

Ah, yes, treating women with respect just like your president is known for doing. Got it.

Hypocritical faux moral nonsense of the highest order.

Are you sick or insane? Since when does Sweden have a president, and where have we killed more innocent civilians than any other country on earth?

You must be truly deluded. Did you just assume I was German, or? Assuming is the mother of all f-ups! You really went all in there Joseph, and landed on your arse like a total fool.

You know, Gottfrid is and old name used in Sweden .
