Commentators (mostly in the US & UK) still contrasting Ukraine's brave self-defence with Afghanistan's performance last year are displaying eye-watering levels of myopia & hypocrisy. Afghan leaders failed, obviously. But the strategic context was totally different. 1/3

I condemn the Taliban & their sponsors in Pakistan for their cruelty & genocidal policies; for oppressing women & girls; for their unending violence & war crimes; for brutal incompetence resulting in famine. RT if you agree. #SanctionPakistan

As President, @JoeBiden's single policy failure undercutting his own credibility at today's #SummitForDemocracy remains his heedless, precipitous withdrawal from Afghanistan. We cannot build up democracies only to abandon them later, in fits of pique. #SanctionPakistan

Every single policy-maker or politician that supported 'negotiations with the Taliban,' while failing to achieve leverage over puppet-masters in GHQ/ISI, now owes the Afghan people an unreserved apology. They also need to act to reverse this calamity. #SanctionPakistan

The @UN was founded in 1945 to stop countries from invading other countries. This year Pakistan invaded Afghanistan. The @UN must act, or decline further into irrelevancy. #SanctionPakistan

Pakistan’s invasion has left nearly 40 million Afghans facing hunger. Principled action will save lives. #AfghanHungerCrisis #FreeAfghanistan #SanctionPakistan

It is outrageous that, 80 days after Pakistan’s invasion of Afghanistan, no government has yet spoken out against this act of aggression. This illegal occupation must & will end. #FreeAfghanistan #SanctionPakistan

Afghans are in extreme poverty because the @UN & its member states are ignoring Pakistan’s egregious acts of aggression. Poverty will start to end for Afghans when Pakistan is held to account for sending Taliban terrorists to invade & occupy Afghanistan 🇦🇫. #SanctionPakistan

By failing to condemn a Taliban regime laced with UN-listed terrorists that Pakistan’s ISI imposed by force, the @UN, US & others have reversed progress on @GlobalGoalsUN, including women’s rights; undermined international law; & made the world less safe. #SanctionPakistan

Pakistan's terrorist proxies attack Shia mosques to make other terrorist proxies appear 'legitimate'. But all are still sponsored terrorist proxies. As always, ISI stands for violence. Security for ordinary Afghans begins when their impunity ends. #SanctionPakistan

Down-playing or ignoring Pakistan's decades of aggression has cost millions of Afghan lives. Enough is enough. #SanctionPakistan
