Contrary to the narrative of U.S. politicians and journalists, the August 2021 withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan did not mark the end of the United States\u2019 so-called \u201cforever war\u201d but rather a shift in U.S. policy\u2014from direct military intervention and occupation to one based on economic sanctions and indirect political subversion. Although the tactics changed, the goal is the same: the accumulation of wealth and power through class warfare against the Afghan people.<\/p>\n
Just days after Kabul fell to the Taliban on August 15th, Washington\u00a0took measures\u00a0to turn off the flow of funds to the new government and paralyze the Afghan banking system. The Treasury Department quickly issued a freeze order on nearly\u00a0$9.5 billion\u00a0of the Afghan Central Bank\u2019s assets held in U.S. financial institutions, including the New York Federal Reserve Bank.<\/p>\n
