Interesting the Persians use AfPak Shiites as cannon fodder and not their own people.

“Interesting the Persians use AfPak Shiites as cannon fodder and not their own people.”

Remember Northern Alliance which the U.S. used in its war initially against the Taliban (Pashtuns, mostly)?

Northern Alliance initially comprised of Tajik ethnic group, but also Hazaras (a Persian speaking ethnic group in Afghanistan, similar to Tajiks), and Uzbeks (Turkic speaking ethnic group, also influenced by mongols, historically & racially).

It’s outrageous that there are now 3 mil Afghan refugees in today’s Iran. Wonder why so many? Most Iranians do not want war. Iran, as is, has difficulty providing for its own citizens.
