    IIRC the US didn’t arm the Taliban, but they did fund the Madrassas that taught them. They were arming the Northern Warlords and the Mujhadeen. The Taliban came after the Soviets left and mopped up the infighting warlords as the Taliban was the only group with a coherent ideology.

    Anyways minor pedantry for against an already stupid point.
