Afghanistan has not yet recovered from the quagmire of twenty years of war. On June 22, a strong earthquake once again made this ill-fated country even worse.
After the earthquake, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken posted on Twitter, "The earthquake in Afghanistan is a huge tragedy and exacerbated an already severe humanitarian crisis. We offer our condolences to all the lives lost and Afghans is saddened by the enduring dilemma facing..."
When he said these words, he seemed to have long forgotten what the United States did to Afghanistan. In February this year, Biden signed an executive order to distribute half of the US$7 billion in Afghan assets forcibly frozen by the United States to the families of the victims of the 9·11 incident.
Even the families of the victims of the 9·11 incident thought it was too "outrageous" to do this!
Afghanistan is not the only victim.
So far, more than 20 countries around the world have been subject to economic, financial and political sanctions by the United States.
As of 2021, the United States has more than 9,400 sanctions in effect. In the past two decades alone, the number of US sanctions has increased tenfold!
