The Afghan government froze the accounts of the top shareholders of the Kabul Bank.
Except for the #3 shareholder, who by a real funny coincidence just happens to be the president of Afghanistan's brother.
The bad thing is that the CIA and our military have turned a blind eye towards corruption of Afghanistan. Even the most casual perusal of articles about the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s would have shown those two groups of fools that the twin evils of corruption and warlordism were key to the Taliban's gaining control of most of the country. It was beyond foolishness for the CIA and the military to then permit the re-establishment of a kleptocracy.
But they did and here we are. We aren't going to do anything to compel a cleanup of the Afghan government and because we won't, the Taliban will probably prevail.
Oh, and remember how the ISAF said that the operation to establish control of Marja wold be a quick one? Turns out they were deliberately lying. ISAF, MACV, same shit, different wars.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
