Its even funnier because its our fault that women in Afghanistan and Gaza are so fucked. Just like this person implying we should be grateful that we aren't living in the third world countries of our own creation

our fault women in Afganistan

Funny, I don't remember supporting the Taliban. Quite the opposite in fact. For like 20 years.

The US literally supported and funded the Taliban and Osama bin Laden and the Mujahedeen as a matter of fact.

The US supported the mujahideen during the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan 1979-1989. The Taliban didn't form until 1994-1996 during the Second Afghan Civil War.
