No it won’t - where did our money ever go a long way when given away by the government.
I think you missed the point. The Taliban is a low overhead operation. Most of that money will buys arms to use against us. The Taliban won't be spending it on environmental impact reports, litigation, permits or entitlement programs. They get a lot more "bang" for their buck. Pun intended.
Our government would be better off giving $1.5 Billion a year to N. Dakota. But I guess our people don’t matter.
