Those Who Profess Concern over Ukraine Have A Duty to Speak Out NOW about what is happening in Afghanistan
You can see hereClare Daly’s brilliant speech to the European Parliament. The Biden Administration in the United States is deliberately creating famine in Afghanistan. Instead of paying reparations to Afghanistan for the damage caused by the US invasion and occupation since 2001, Joe Biden has just gone and stolen what little money they had, some $14 Billion.
The money was deposited in the US Federal Reserve by the corrupt regime that the US imposed on Afghanistan. ‘President’ Ashraf Ghani fled the country with hundreds of million dollars stuffed into cars. It was literally spilling on the runway as the helicopter took off.
The US Drone Strike in Kabul which killed a family of 10, including 7 children. It was a ‘tragic’ mistake, just like all the other US mistakes in the region
The US’s parting gift to Afghanistan was a missile which destroyed a car in Kabul murdering10 people including 7 children. According to the US army it was a ‘mistake’. No one has been charged and the International Criminal Court which was so hot off the mark in Ukraine has said nothing.
What happened with the drone missile in Kabul has happened all over Afghanistan and Pakistan. The United States acts with impunity and yet racists like Paul Mason look to the ‘civilised’ West for salvation.
As Clare Daly said, the only crime of Afghanis and the other victims of US aggression in the Middle East and elsewhere is not to be White or European.
All those who condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and their war crimes have a duty to speak out about the United States deliberately creating a famine in order to get their revenge on the Taliban. If they do not then they are simply hypocrites.
Clare Daly is a good illustration of what happens when genuine socialists get elected to Parliament. Clare was a member of Militant and the Socialist party but she is now a member of Independents 4 Change, part of The Left in the European Parliament – GUE/NGL. At the 2016 general election, Clare stood as an Independents 4 Change candidate in the Dublin Fingal constituency, and was elected to the Dáil Éireann. At the 2019 European Parliament elections, she was elected for the Dublin constituency.
Contrast Clare and her fellow MP Mick Wallace with the Irish Green Party who are propping up the present Fine Gael and Fianna Fail Coalition. Two corrupt Conservative parties propped up by Greens, who pose as an alternative to the mainstream parties.
