US officials: The Taliban will not be allowed to access Afghan cash reserves in the United States See what I mean? You need leverage to negotiate.

Pragmatism more important than morals in war. Don't trust US easily. After all war is full of deceit.

People join the Afghan army because of poverty. They just want the pay check. The moment US army left, morale broke and they routed. Money can't buy everything.
