US Treasury Puts Afghan Trader Nabizada on Sanction List
2022-05-28
[ToloNews] The US Treasury placed well-known Afghan trader Kamal Nabizada on a sanctions list, claiming links to Iran's QUDS force.

However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
the company of Kamal Nabizada issued a statement reacting to the US Treasury's decision, saying there are political motives behind it.

Analysts said that individuals who are engaged in money laundering and Iran’s Sepah-e Pasdaran
... which translates as 'Army of Guardians of the Islamic Revolution', the fancy Arabic name for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)...
are being put on the list.

"The US Treasury targeted the network of fuel trafficking of Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
which is under Russia’s support... the property of the people on the list will be restricted," said Seyar Qureshi, an economist.

Some analysts said the placement of Afghan traders on such lists will affect investment in the country.

"I think this issue has a political side. The US tries to put pressure on the Afghan companies to restrict their economic activities to kind of press the Afghan government because the private sector plays an important role," said Abdul Naseer Rishtia, an economist.

The Nabizada company in a statement claimed that the political motives behind the sanctions involved the US's relations with Russia and Iran. "The US, due to its serious disputes with Russia and Iran over different issues, has made allegations against some traders of the countries... which are completely untrue," the statement reads.

The US Treasury list included entrepreneurs from Russia, Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch...
, Iran, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
and other countries.

#1  We have sanctioned a trader from a country that we don't trade with because of his ties to another country that we don't trade with. The impact of our sanctions will be less than the administrative costs of creating the documents and holding the press conference. If these sanctions work as well as the Russian ones, Kamal will be high fiving his partners on his good fortune.
