Good for them. Fuck that shit, such a slap in the face to our troops. Same with propping up an Al Qaeda guy in Syria.

Well it's our military but not the poor young men who risked or gave their lives to fight these groups

No one is fighting them. We left all that military equipment behind on purpose

Now we have to supply spare parts and ammo, among other things. You want them buying Russian kit?

That's like saying we shouldn't be friends with Vietnam out of sensitivity to the veterans who fought there.

I guess I don't know enough about the Taliban to know if that's a good analogy. FWIW I don't think we ever should've been in the ME; that's the biggest injustice by far. The slap in the face of cozying up to these guys right afterward is the insult on top of the injury.

Anyways it's not even normalization (being "friends" or on OK terms) that bothers me as much as funding/arming.

Afghanistan isn't even part of the middle east. They never had shit to do with anything and never bothered America.
