petro-dollar support from the gulf if actually exists was peanuts compared to 100s of billions from the US, Nato and India.

What makes you think they don’t get the same amount from the Gulf?

Only US and NATO provided military assistance. Others like India invested billions in constructive projects like Salma dam.

What would the talibans do with the money? It is quite obvious the Afghan army has a more expensive operation than talibans with rifles and pickups.

I guess the Afghan army should have focused more on quality than size to be able to afford talanted soldiers.

I don’t think that’s a valid question. What would they do with money? Buy more weapons, I guess? Invest in training. Hire more recruits.
