We've armed the Taliban for destruction in Afghanistan for years

The last American troops to exit Afghanistan reportedly left facing an 'elite unit' of the Taliban.

The Taliban inherited that defeated army's equipment in its entirety.

Thanks to the largesse of the American taxpayer, the Taliban now has more attack helicopters than the UK, and is better armed than almost every NATO country, apart from the US. When these facts emerged this week, a portion of the commentariat tried to pretend this was no great shakes.

These last defenders of the President insisted it didn't matter that the Taliban had control of all these Black Hawks.

For how could a group of goat-herders, who have barely learned to operate their rusty old Soviet motorcycles, be expected to retrain as helicopter pilots? As if they were listening, right on cue, the Taliban began flying one of their new Black Hawks over the skies of Kabul.

Canada's minister for equality, Maryam Monsef, addressed the Taliban direct last week.

Just about the only things the Americans didn't give the Taliban was a drone capability.
