The Taliban is a creation of the Pakistani ISI.
They run the madrassas that feed the recruits to the field operations.
Where do you think Taliban gets its supplies and money? Pakistan and Qatar. Some also from the heroin trade and some from other sources, but mostly from the above.
Speaking of old movies, I just rewatched Uncle Buck. The interiors were filmed at an abandoned high school in a Chicago suburb where they built sets in the 3 gyms, including a 2 story interior for his brothers house he came to stay at. But the old joke about shouting “Hey, look over there!” to distract people isn’t meant to be official foreign policy. I saw an article over at Breitbart about that, ‘Biden Tries to Pivot to Pandemic While Americans Still Stuck in Afghanistan’, which you can find there, so give that a look. Trump could handle more than one thing at a time, but Joe couldn’t multitask his way out of a wet paper bag. They also built ‘gym’ sets for Buck’s apartment, his girlfriend’s apartment and more. Their production facilities were also at the old school!
I’ve said this all along.
Pakistani uses Afghanistan as their proxy.
Pakistan is used as the staging area, supply depot, medical services and even supply’s the soldiers.
All while the U.S. pays them billions each year.
The Paki ISI think they have won. I’m not so sure about that. The Taliban play a really long game. Now that they have a country back and direct money and drug profits, I think their next objective is . . . TalibPakistan. Be careful what you ask for . . .
