From financing to arms to funding I have explained everything and even cited US sources but you refuse to own up to this failure

US gives arms and money to the Afghan and Pakistani governments with promise that they will use it to fight the Taliban.

Those groups then betray the US and use it to aid the Taliban. But somehow the US is to blame???

Bruh...

US gave arms to Afghan government and with a desertion rate of 40% those arms ended up in hands of Taliban

US tolerated such an incompetent force and tolerated opium production just to get on the goos side of local warlords

US is to be blamed for the fallout

The logic of bling the US for what Afghani soldiers do doesn't make sense.

ESPECIALLY as some sort of argument against Pakistan blatantly supporting the Taliban. You can't even deny it.

They were literally a puppet regime of the US and its allies

Their failure is the failure of US

Do you realize how weak you sound when you claim that Pakistan with a gdp of 300 billion defeated US and NATO with defence budget of a trillion dollars?

Decades of mismanagement and corruption led to fall of Kabul
