There's nothing wrong with the statement beyond your unwillingness to accept reality.
Are you denying the food crisis in Afghaniatan? The US and Europe lost the war. Afghanistan is a sovereign nation. What right does the west have to starve the people or deny their government access to their funds?
The West is starving Afganistan but I guess it isn't a genocide because they're only doing it punitivively for Afghanistan having won the war.
It's definitely a thing. I don't think releasing that money to the Taliban - the same group that terrorized and slaughtered the people of Afghanistan for many years - is necessarily the way to deal with the situation. Other organizations that will be better stewards of that money would be ideal.
Definition of genocide:
Withholding cash from the Taliban so they can't just give it to their fighters doesn't fit this definition. For far too long, the US was careless about how it sloshed around cash and arms under the stupidity of the Cold War. It needs to take responsibility for how it releases cash and and arms now.
