    Too bad US had to overthrow the socialist secular government in Afghanistan and then subject it to decades of unending destruction. US regime is directly responsible for everything we see happening in Afghanistan today.

      They did have some not so great time trying to prevent Taliban from gaining power. It wasn’t very succesful.

          No, that’s on Afghans themselves. US armed the mujahideen fighters and a faction of that diverse group later on formed Taliban (and their opposition)

              I suggest you read the article on Taliban for a start. Mujahideen fighters were a diverse group. What afterwards became Taliban was one part, but so were what became some of their enemies.

              Claiming CIA created Taliban takes agency away from the Afghans themselves.
