Ahmad Shah Mohibi (WarGuy), host of the WarGuy, breaks down the biggest contradiction in Afghanistan right now: the Taliban bans girls from education and pushes women out of public life, while the U.S. has reportedly allowed roughly $40 million a week to flow into a system the Taliban controls.

This episode isn’t partisan—and it’s not a war speech. WarGuy explains what the cash pipeline means on the ground, why “humanitarian” labels don’t guarantee accountability when a regime controls the country, and why “fund the fight” fundraising and war-entrepreneur politics often get innocent people killed.

He lays out what he believes is the only realistic path forward: stop any pipeline that empowers the Taliban, restart serious peace talks, push a political power-sharing framework, and apply real pressure so Afghan girls can return to school—without dragging Afghanistan into another generation of bloodshed.

NOTES:

Afghanistan isn’t “fine” because it’s quiet—quiet under a brutal regime is not peace.

If the Taliban controls the system, you can’t pretend money is neutral.

“Humanitarian” labels don’t guarantee accountability when the regime controls access and institutions.

Don’t get played by war entrepreneurs. Fundraising for “resistance” without a real plan gets young men killed.

A military fantasy isn’t a strategy—especially when the Taliban holds advanced equipment and has spent years training.

The realistic path forward is political: restart peace talks, force negotiations, and build a power-sharing framework that protects basic rights—starting with girls back in school.

Pressure works: call your senators, demand a floor vote, demand transparency, demand oversight.
