      A humanitarian crisis is fueling massive refugee outflows from Afghanistan—worsening food shortages and hunger seems to be a key driver. It is immoral and strategically foolish to withhold food aid because the Taliban are in power—especially since we also don't take in refugees.https://twitter.com/joshua_landis/status/1458893816417685509 …

      People facing famine *will* try to flee, and Afghanistan's neighbors are not in a position to support even more refugees. They'll inevitably allow or even facilitate onward travel, and that's Europe. We know how that's going. Huge human cost *and* more political destabilization.

          Maybe the destabilization is the point...

          In October 2001 I proposed that instead of bombs the US drop a million anti-Taliban propaganda leaflets a day over Afghanistan. With US $5 CASH stapled inside each leaflet. Through back channels tell the Taliban, we'll keep doing these until you extradite Osama bin Laden.

          Five million dollars a day would have cost far less than what the US actually did.

          The *flawles* Turkish #KutsalKitap (#Tevrat, #Zabur ve #İncil) is here: https://wol.jw.org/tr/wol/binav/r22/lp-tk/bi12 … All 3 books on this website are flawless in English & Arabic, too. 😁 But in Farsi, only the Injil is flawless. I sooo look forward to when #TheFarsiTeam finishes!
