The Reichwehr ≠ The Wehrmacht
The Mujahideen ≠ The Taliban
The Taliban was formed AFTER the Mujahideen dissolved, exactly 0 US support went to the Taliban because at the time the US was sending support IT DIDN'T FUCKING EXIST.
Again you will also find that very few Mujahideen fighters joined the Taliban, most Taliban fighters were new recruits who were not part of the Mujahideen, where as the Northern Alliance the majority of its fighters were Ex-Mujahdeen.

No they didn't, they supported the Northern Alliance.
>They funded mujahedeen
The Mujahideen ≠ The Taliban
More Mujahideen fighters joined the Northern Alliance than the Taliban.

You do realise that Ukraine won't stop fighting if the west pulls support, in fact the west's support is probably the only thing keeping Russia from using nukes.

They estimated a minimum 800,000 dead, and a total of 1.5-2 Million casulties by US forces alone, plus another million casulties by other allied forces.
The Japanese casulties would of crippled Japan forever.
10-15 Million dead, and another 10 million wounded on top of the dead.
The Atomic bombs seemed like a slap on the wrist compared to the absolute slaughter of Operation Downfall.
