@zedeyejoe No the Afgan army refused to fight because they knew they weren't going to have US support which included ground support,air support and intel. They didn't have the confidence to fight by themselves so when they found out the US was pulling out which was about 18 months before it finally happened behind the scenes they started talking to the Taliban doing deals with them not to fight. That's why when the Taliban started advancing the Afgan army just melted away and every city fell one after the other without a fight

 @zedeyejoe the Afgan government packed up and run because the Afgan National Army wouldn't fight

@OK-yy6qz the Soviet Union didn't collapse because of the Afgan war they collapsed because of all the spending they did on the military in the cold war to counter America it was beyond what they could afford they were going to collapse regardless of the invasion of Afghanistan.

When the Russians invaded Afghanistan the US , Saudi and Pakistan supported the Mujahedeen who turned into Al Qaeda after the war ended. The Taliban didn't exist during that time it formed after the Russians left and was created by the Pakistani ISI which is the equivalent of the CIA. The US never funded the Taliban and the Taliban didn't have anything to do with 9/11 except providing safe haven for Al Qaeda. NATO was involved in Afghanistan from the beginning but took no part in the invasion of Iraq. The US left Afghanistan because after the Taliban were overthrown it became a nation building exercise and after 20 years they weren't going to achieve anymore. Afghanistan is a tribal country with no central government control beyond the main cities. The country is corrupt at all levels and half the country is illiterate and in the military the rates of illiteracy were even higher and the army had high levels of drug use. The US administration was more concerned with China in the Asia Pacific region so they saw spending more money and lives in Afghanistan as pointless they simply had bigger fish to fry

 @tomhenry897 they didn't kick the US out they just waited till the US lost interest and left. The US could have stayed 100 years and the Taliban couldn't have done anything about it

Al Qaeda and ISIS don't work in the interests of the west they hate us. The Taliban didn't suppress American or other European forces they hid in the civilian population and waited for them to leave
