One shows packages of U.S. $100 notes bound in plastic...

...In September, the Biden administration announced the creation of a fund to assist the people of Afghanistan, apart from the country's central bank.

"The Afghan Fund will help mitigate the economic challenges facing Afghanistan while protecting and preserving $3.5 billion in reserves from Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB), Afghanistan’s central bank, for the benefit of the people of Afghanistan," Wally Adeyemo, U.S. deputy secretary of the Treasury, said at the time. ....

Humanitarian aid, my eye. Pallets of US cash for the Taliban to buy bombs to blow us up with. How much of our hard earned money has been given to thugs around the world this year? They aren’t even accountable to us for what they are spending. What suckers we are.

“Da Bank of Afghanistan”

Crap like this gets published when you rely on ‘other characteristics’ for hiring ‘journalists’.

Sorry about my prior comment, it was about a video embedded in the article.

The author in that interview is Elliot Ackerman

I could not figure out how to embed the link.

Da bank is probably a mockery of Da bank, meaning da pockets of da end users.

Cash from America is preferred due to the un accountability of illicit and illegal transactions by the end users and recipients.

Keep in mind, Obama-Joe gave them end user certificates printed in China.

The central bank of Afghanistan said it received another injection of $40 million in cash this week. 

Question is, who is receiving the laundered kickback?

“who’s the secret Santa that deals in hard cash?”

Let me know when you find out where you apply for humanitarian aid. I know some Americans who could use a few pallets of cash.

Don’t they know that only Zelensky is supposed to be getting pallets of cash? To make up for it, we’ll have to send him $80 MILLION more.

The Da Bank of Afghanistan,

You: "Where do you keep your money?"

Me: "In Da Bank."

You: "Yeah, I figured that, but what's its name?"

Me: "Da Bank."

You: "No, I know, but what is it's name?!?"

Me: "Da Bank."

You: "ARGH! Ok, what is the name of the owner?"

Me: "What is the teller. Who is the owner."

You: "HOW SHOULD I KNOW"

Both of us together: "Third base.."
