I wonder why didn't the ANA fight for their lives to protect him.
You setup a puppet regime with corrupt officials in a country where opposing powers are waiting for the moment to strike, and Americans are shocked when it collapses like a house of cards as soon as they step away.
The problem is not that the government collapsed as that was inevitable, the US should have had an exit plan for Afghanis who worked and helped the US and allies throughout these years, and never bothered to have a plan.
The current administration made very poor decisions based from poor military leadership. Shifting the blame on Afghanis for not fighting for their puppet doesn't negate the US's responsibilities to protect those that aided them.

Yea the source for $169M theft is apparently a single Russian ambassador at the moment who just happened to tell the Afghan Tajikistan ambassador. We'll have to see how this actually pans out.
Lets wait for more reputable sources to confirm this news other than DailyMail
