anyone else find it odd that Trump left $85 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan with only 2500 troops deployed in Jan 2021?
anyone else find it odd that Trump freed the current leader of Afghanistan "Abdul Ghani Baradar" in 2018 from a Pakistani prison.

Abdul Ghani Baradar[a] (born 29 September 1963 or c. 1968) is an Afghan political and religious leader who is currently the acting first deputy prime minister alongside Abdul Salam Hanafi and Abdul Kabir, of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. He is also a co-founder of the Taliban. He is known by the honorific Mullah.
He held senior positions in the Taliban during their rule from 1996 to 2001. After the Taliban government fell to the US-led invasion in 2001, he rose to lead the organization's Quetta Shura in Pakistan, becoming the de facto leader of the Taliban. He was imprisoned by Pakistan in 2010, possibly because he had been discussing a peace deal with the Afghan government secretly, without the involvement of Pakistan. He was released in 2018 at the request of the United States and was subsequently appointed a deputy leader of the Taliban and head of their political office in Qatar.
Almonds tell me there's more to this than meets the eye.
