#2What's worse is the billions in armored vehicles and weapons that can be used against those who resist them. If anything, the Taliban are now in a stronger military position than in 2001.

#3USA leadership no longer cares if foreigners horribly murder hundreds of millions of it's own. Just look at the doubling murder rate and year of looting. They'll go on doing what they do regardless. If anything prevents future terror attacks, it's that. It does nothing except kill people. Russia, China, most of the world, are criminals masquerading as political leaders. They have zero consent from the people they govern. What you think they care about, like being a super power and taking over the USA, they care very little about outside of using it as a prop for their legitimacy and to avoid the gallows for horrible past crimes.

Without supply chains most of it will be useless in a year or two.

For the planes maybe. Don't see why they couldn't use a certain number of those vehicles to scavenge parts from for a very long time.

I'm sure people said Cuba would run out of cars in the 60s.
They might be able to use all that gear per the manual and best practices, but they'll make use of it however they can. Humans do that.
I hope history will look back at that and see it as a "plowshares" dump, where native ingenuity took tons of scrap iron and reformed into the infrastructure of a better society. I figure it's about as likely as being canrally pleasured by a pink unicorn, but its a pleasant fantasy.

There is a stark difference between old cars and modern tech, especially when we take into consideration repairability and right to repair being pressing issues.

That equipment can be decommissioned from the air with low risk to allied forces.
