I remember hearing speculation not long after they took over again that they would deliberately create humanitarian crises in order to get international aid packages. This was right around the moment they found out they wouldn't have access to the previous governments finances and they were getting black listed for aid from every western nation.

What makes them think they can rely on international aid?

When 50% of aid workers are barred from helping.

Tell you what; we'll have Biden return that money when Afghanistan returns the TRILLIONS of dollars that have poured into their coffers over the last 20 years. Fuckwit.

Oh right, those evil starving children. How dare they make Murica mad. Forgive me, genius. Oh, and those trillions mostly went to American corporations. Jackass.

Too bad the mothers of those starving kids can't work, or go to school, or do anything to better their situation.
