Original Note:
The US did not leave behind 80 billion dollars of equipment. That number is actually roughly the total amount of money spent on Afghanistan since 2001 altogether. According to a 2022 Pentagon report the US left 7.12 billion worth of equipment. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/09/republicans-inflate-cost-of-taliban-seized-u-s-military-equipment/ https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/04/27/politics/afghan-weapons-left-behind
