Ewww the whole thread is garbage: https://www.resetera.com/threads/afghanistans-economy-is-collapsing-3-2-million-children-are-likely-to-suffer-malnutrition-1-million-risk-of-dying.520842/

It's actually housed in US banks. Said international banks cannot transfer money to known terrorist organizations - bunch of international law here. Same way they can't knowingly transact drug money transfers, etc. And it's the exiled Governments money, not the Taliban. Since the Taliban aren't recognized as the formal government of Afghanistan there is no money witheld, just money that can't be released. Only fix is to recognize them, and no one is going to do that because yeah, Taliban.

Ahh yes international laws that USA loves to follow.

    I only use resetera to keep track of game news, and to ragebrowse etcetera because I hate 99% of the people who post there. just an absolute cesspool of the dumbest possible lib conservatives who think voting for Joe Biden means they're progressives

      I didn't know this was the case because I remember this whole site started because they were against pedos/right wing chyds on neogaf

        resetera started in 2017 when they "found out" about neogafs' owner being a huge PoS on multiple counts, something that had been out in the open for years prior (and was what drove me to stop interacting with that site way earlier)

        so there was a huge effort to make a new, better site, that would be run professionally and have great moderation

        but they're all gamers so none of that happened and now most recently reseteras' owner sold the site to fucking MOBA network for $4.5 million, revealing it for the long con grift it always was
