OTOH, we supplied the Taliban with weapons to be used against the Russians. That was not so successful.
As I said, it's always a risk. Maybe light, close-in weapons like handguns and no Stingers this time...
Resistance groups during WWII were not warring with each other by religious sect, tribes, family grudges, local warlords, etc. At least I have never read or heard that they were.
The problem we don’t know who is the ‘resistance’ in these place ... or what they are resisting.
