How $7B in US Weapons Changed Afghanistan & Pakistan | Tabitha Spence Analysis
After 20 years of occupation, the US left behind at least $7 billion worth of weapons in #Afghanistan — from rifles and pistols to drones and armored vehicles. These arms have now found their way into the hands of the Taliban, the #TTP, the #BLA, and even smaller militant groups in Pakistan.
In this episode, Tabitha Spence explains how #US weapons proliferation has reshaped violence in the region, created long-term arms ecosystems, and challenges the state’s monopoly on security. She explores the historical context from the Afghan jihad against the Soviets to #NATO’s war on terror and the ongoing consequences for regional stability.
Can the flow of these weapons be tracked or contained? What does this mean for civilians and security in Afghanistan, #Pakistan, and beyond?
