Goat Herder Army

The Taliban do not need Russian money to do what Afghans have done for centuries, which is to kill foreigners. The Khyber Pass has been the gate to hell for the British, the Russians, and now Americans. I do not see the mujahedin having a Swiss or Cayman Island account to deposit their rewards from Moscow. In fact, many Afghan fighters have lived their whole lives without being able to read or write or ever seeing the inside of a bank.
