The easiest scapegoat is literally right there, guys

Nah Americans pride reaches the point where they have to have some sort of involvement in literally all history since their colonisation so...

Reagan sent arms to the Taliban so they could fight against incursion from the Soviets. But, geez, the stuff that was sent in the 1980s pales in comparison to all the first-rate tech and massive amount of arms (and armor, and vehicles...) that was left when the US hurriedly fled in 2021.
