I can't even say this without sounding like a "whataboutism," but the main material support for the Taliban in Afghanistan, for the last nineteen years, roughly two decades of war, has been Pakistan, and we've done NOTHING about it but keep shoveling them money in exchange for the transit rights to ship material through to support our troops in a rearguard fight against their minions. WE are paying people to kill US troops by ignoring what Pakistan does with the money. And that they were harboring Osama Bin Laden for a decade. But we need to chase rumors that Russia does the same. Yeah, right. Maybe we need to stop sending troops to countries where they're not accomplishing anything besides being hostages?
