Stay with me on this one. It gets a bit tricky.
The Biden administration has been in negotiations with the Taliban about giving them $7 billion in frozen Afghan government funds. Those funds are held in banks here in the United States. According to Joe and his mandarins, they have been seeking assurances that the Taliban, who are international terrorists, will not use any of the billions of dollars to do bad things before the funds are released.
Now, we are told that the Taliban have not provided sufficient assurances, so the money will not be released to them. Instead, half the money, $3.5 billion, will be turned over to the International Bank for Settlements, (BIS) in Switzerland. This institution will then disburse the money to Afghanistan to pay for worthy projects identified by the bank.
So, we will hand the money to a bank in Switzerland, which will then cut the money up into smaller chunks and send it to Afghanistan. Once in Afghanistan, of course, the money will be under the complete control of the Taliban, who as I mentioned above are terrorists. They control the Taliban. Those terrorists will make the ultimate decisions about where the funds actually end up and what they pay for.
Like, for example, the next 9/11.
The BIS is essentially an organization of the central banks of the planet. The BIS will establish a four-person board to administer the new “relief” fund. According to Thomas West, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan, the BIS will somehow magically dispense funds in a way that will benefit the Afghan people, but not end up financing international terror.

Pure. Evil.
So only $350 million to the Big Guy. For now.
“So, we will hand the money to a bank in Switzerland, which will then cut the money up into smaller chunks and send it to Afghanistan, after deducting $350 million for the Big Guy.”
FIFY

Why can’t we simply charge the Taliban $7 billion for all the weapons and military equipment we left behind? Since we abandoned $85 billion in equipment, they’d be getting quite the deal.
I hope they insured all those Black hawk helicopters we gave them. They’re crashing one a week. Everyone of those damn things has door handles built by my biz. It’s enough to piss you off.
For their student loans?
