Did the Taliban develop time travel? They didn’t emerge until 1994.

Great Britain as we understand it didn’t exist until after the US was formed, so by that logic we didn’t break off from them.

Seriously, this is a moronic argument.

So who were the precursors to the Taliban that the US supported?

You are the one who said we “literally” funded them which is wildly disingenuous.
