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.

01:45 DC snow opener (personal check-in)

03:40 Afghanistan winter reality (no power, survival, clay roofs)

07:10 “Stable” Afghanistan isn’t peace (Taliban rule = hostage calm)

20:40 Warning: don’t bankroll “fight the Taliban” fundraising

28:10 What to demand now: call senators, demand oversight + vote

30:10 Final message: peace over propaganda + closing

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.

Putin just recognized the Taliban — and it changes the board in Afghanistan.

Russia didn’t “engage.” Russia didn’t “keep channels open.” Putin accepted the Taliban ambassador’s credentials in Moscow. That’s official recognition, and it sends a signal to every country still trying to pretend there’s a middle lane: no handshake, but business as usual.

In this episode, Ahmad Shah Mohibi (WarGuy) breaks down why Putin did it, what Russia gains, and what the U.S. withdrawal in 2021 set in motion. We get into the uncomfortable reality of the current setup: the Taliban controls the system, the borders, the banks, the checkpoints — and that’s why language games don’t change outcomes.

We also look at China’s quiet approach: stability talk on the outside, resource strategy underneath — lithium, rare earths, copper — the materials that power modern technology and global leverage.

And while social media sells “calm Afghanistan” content for clicks, this episode focuses on what that camera frame leaves out: a country where fear sets the rules, education is blocked for girls, women are erased from public life, and silence becomes survival.

Iran is being squeezed — but “regime change” isn’t guaranteed. The internet is getting cut, the currency is collapsing, and the political pressure is real.

In Episode 2, Ahmad Shah Mohibi (WarGuy) — Host of WarGuy — breaks down what’s driving the unrest, how the regime responds, why Iran is deeply divided, and why outside intervention can turn this into Iraq/Syria-style chaos instead of a clean transition.
