On February 11th, US Vice President Joe Biden announced that the US would steal $7 billion from Afghanistan’s currently frozen assets. This act of theft ensures the demise of Afghanistan’s central bank, as well as an increase in instability and the starvation of some of the world’s poorest people.

The death toll from the US war in Afghanistan could be in the millions over the last two decades. Rather than paying reparations to the victims of the US occupation, the US is using deliberate economic warfare to punish the victims. It is not necessary to be a legal expert to understand that these acts are not permitted under US or international law. Biden’s actions are both inhumane and unconstitutional.
We urge you, as progressive legislators in the United States, to immediately call for Joe Biden’s impeachment and prosecution for crimes against humanity. As you are aware, both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were impeached for crimes that pale in comparison to what Biden has perpetrated against the Afghan people. Surely, democratically elected representatives who claim to be breaking the mold should make such a demand.
