Comments by "Samson Soturian" (@samsonsoturian6013) on "Children in Afghanistan facing malnutrition and measles following Taliban takeover - BBC News" video.

The real question is where are all the mothers? I see plenty of apparently healthy women and starving babies, and somehow I'm the only one that see the friggin problem with that?

2:00 "There are hundreds of malnourished children. In every household, there are two or three." Wait, you saying people aren't sharing their bread with their own families? How can you have some healthy and some starving family members otherwise?

The women in the video aren't.

You know what they say, don't bite the hand that feeds you.

@gazalraul885 exactly. It takes a special kind of depravity to do what you see in the video. I repeat, there's healthy women three feet from starving babies just sitting there bored. And that man said the one kid was left to feed his little brother, while he himself hasn't lost any weight from the famine (there's fat on his cheeks). One thing you must understand about this region is that A) most marriages are for advantage and not love, B) domestic violence is tolerated, and C) petty theft and mob violence is commonplace.

@casteretpollux please leave foreign affairs to those of us that actually read about foreign affairs

Watch the video. This problem didn't exist when they had access to US charity.

Yeah, Ukrainian mothers nurse their babies rather than let them starve.

Skin color got nothing to do with this

They'd rather die.

Dude, this problem simply didn't exist while US charities were involved.

Where are their mothers? Why aren't they nursing them the old-fashioned way? Why are all these fools blaming the war instead of obvious home life problems?

You're not half as familiar with the country as you think you are. Hunger was simply not an issue when they had access to first world charity. In fact, I've known marines that would steal food from their supply so they could give them to the local militiamen they worked with.

That's literally not what happened. And even if it did, it wouldn't have produced this.

Shut up

@gazalraul885 that's a curious thing to get angry about since these fools are clearly letting their own children go hungry.

This has nothing to do with the US

@edensky5825 put that back up your butt where you got it. We all know here you wouldn't know the difference between Pashtuns and Urdus, much less what the cause and effect of modern politics are.

Lose the condescension for long enough to see how there are all these women around and starving babies everywhere. Life saving care is literally 3 feet away, but no one cares to give it.

@CantHandleThisCanYa Dude, this is normal people's reaction to abandoned starving babies: https://youtu.be/twWoM7BPu5g This is these idiot's reaction to a starving baby: 0:33 Note all those grown women fully capable of nursing these babies complicitly watching them cry for dear life. Note later all the men have a healthy layer of fat on their faces while their own children go hungry. And they're all demanding hand outs and manipulating the press' heart strings.

Not relevant. Especially when this is what the Afghans are doing to each other. You see politics and invisible villains, I see starving babies three feet from healthy women, and I see families refusing to share bread with each other.

Shut up

@tanyabrown9839 quit making excuses, any half decent adult would rather starve than let children go hungry. As my old drill sergeant said "S*** rolls downhill."
1
Dude, this scenario set in after all the US charity and troops left without notice. But you don't care, do you?
1
The war was not half as epic as you think it was. This is what happens when you leave Afghans to their own devises. See starving baby? See healthy women? See hungry children? See strong men? Clearly, they're all fighting each other for scraps of food and blaming literally everyone else.
