Are we supposed......to believe....etc

“Each to their own”…you really are a weirdo.

Yep all those enemies of America do be doing terrible things apparently...Saddams lads used to be throwing babies out of incubators, Assad gassing everyone, Kim Jong Un machine gunning his ex girlfriends etc.

And I don't know where to start with all the bad things China has been getting up to (even genocide) since America decided they were an economic and military rival.

How the fcuk could someone read an article even remotely suggesting what's in the OP, about a country that saw the unsuccessful end to 2 decades of war just a few weeks ago and end their post about laughing?

Whatever is going on in Afghanistan, and it's much more likely to be as others have pointed out rather than you're take on it, it's a pretty sociopathic take on it to belittle their suffering in this way.

"Selling" of children isn't uncommon in societies where child labour is common and children make a financial contribution to the household. Even though the contribution may be small, it can be significant in a poor household. Although the opportunity for the child to e.g. move to the city and take a factory job may look like a good one from the child's perspective - better, at least, than their prospects if they remain at home - the contribution they make or will make to the household if they stay at home may not be something the parents can easily forego. So the agents who recruit children for labour (or other purposes) will commonly include a cash payment to the parents to offset the loss to the household as part of the deal.

The parents don't think of this as selling their children. They think of this as a contribution their child makes, funded by the work the child will do in his or her new position.

You’d be wilfully ignorant to be so certain that there doesn’t exist mothers who would sell their own children to feed themselves, but as for the example of mothers selling their children in Afghanistan - it’s been happening for years. I don’t see what American withdrawal has to do with anything other than being used to highlight the issue now, when it’s been known about for decades in poorer societies that in order to survive, children are being trafficked or being sold to provide for the rest of the family.

I don't know why you won't link to the report so we can evaluate it for ourselves. I'm going to hazard a guess, though, that it didn't claim anyone was selling their children for a kebab.

BBC Report: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-59034650

Summary of that aspect of the report/video here:

______

Grieving parents outside the city of Herat have told how they sold off their baby daughter for the equivalent of £360 to a man who lives nearby. The man has claimed she will be married off to his son when she is older but the parents know the girl may face a far worse future than marrying his son.

The unnamed mother cried as she told a BBC reporter: “My other children were dying of hunger so we had to sell my daughter. How can I not be sad? She is my child. I wish I didn’t have to sell my daughter.”

Her husband’s only job was once collecting rubbish locally but even that earns no money now. The husband says: “We are starving. Right now we have no flour, no oil at home. We have nothing. My daughter does not know what her future will be. I don’t know how she will feel about it but I had to do it.”

(Christ this new Quote function is totally useless)

German soldiers used to throw babies up in the air and impale them on the end of their bayonets according to british newspapers...

There was one specific SS unit that was notorious for these kind of acts (link to the head of one below) Children have been brutally murdered and tortured throughout history, there are countless grim examples of it all the way up to modern times. In the 20th century, when Japan invaded China, they would tie civilians to stakes and get their new recruits to practice bayonetting (to get them used to killing) drawing a circle around the heart so as to avoid killing them and prolong the pain of the victim, and when Japanese forces had killed all the POWs in Nanking, they turned on the remaining men, women and children and started murdering, torturing and raping them systematically (it's horrendous, but photos still survive of these atrocities if you dare to look) Even having beheading competitions, that were widely reported on in the local press. In Australia, despite laws, aborigines were commonly murdered until the 20's, and up until the 70's, the state was taking aboriginal children from their families. History is brutal and replete with countless examples of extreme systematic cruelty, murder, trafficking and torture towards children.
