Original Note:
The US could not have funded the Taliban in the 1980s because it wasn't founded until 1994. The author appears to be confusing the Taliban with the Mujahedeen, a completely different organisation which effectively collapsed in 1992. https://cisac.fsi.stanford.edu/mappingmilitants/profiles/afghan-taliban https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_mujahidin
