This may sound harsh but the Taliban were clearly the more moral actors in this story. The truth is that they never acted outside their territory and their involvement in 911 was entirely confabulated and that the soldiers who fought this were lied into a for-profit, great game foreign adventure. These people, for the most part, wanted to be left alone.

The woman in this rage bait clip should worry about the big lies that her government told her and continues to tell instead of worrying about how the Taliban spend their money.

I think you have it partially correct in the sense that the war was entirely immoral and started on false premises and lies. Americans should absolutely be worried that their tax money is funding people that hate us though.

These payments usually are given not for philanthropic reasons but because the state department wants to have leverage at a later stage by threatening withdrawal of said payments if the counter party doesn't play along.

If your argument is that the US should stop handing out money entirely, meaning a general retreat of influence and soft power, then I agree with you.

The Taliban, in this case, are doing exactly what your government, according to this woman, should be doing: taking care of their veterans and their families. If your argument is against that, then the videos message is hypocritical.

I think we agree here, my argument is that we shouldn’t be sending money to foreign countries at all and should worry about our own problems.

And by the way, what makes you think they hate you?

More so that we’re supporting unknown organizations that may or may not have our best interests at heart. Maybe hate is a strong word to use.
