    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.
