I don't really want to get into these kinds of arguments. But let's deconstruct the statement "Technologically, we’re seeing its cutting-edge kit destroyed by old NATO tech". Why isn't all the new, cutting-edge equipment winning the war? Why isn't Ukraine capturing territory. The US spent trillions in Afghanistan, with the best technology. It's 2023, and the Taliban currently control the country. To be a military superpower you have to actually win wars, not spend money and talk about them.

There is an argument that the US has a big stick not to win wars but to convince everyone else not to bother. Also an argument the US prefers to spend money than soldiers lives. And you can argue that all things considered the Taliban are a bunch of dummies because they could have good faith negotiated a power sharing agreement that kept the money flowing.
