Hardware or money....the general needs to cite this. If he can’t, then he’s on some fake agenda.
Typically, Saudi groups tended to fund 99-percent of the Taliban in the past. There might be some Russian arms merchants doing some trade....but it’s private Russians, not the Russian government.
Which one of the 17 IC organizations came up with this? Hiw do we know the CIA is not involved?
And you can say this with absolute certainty because of what?
“On Thursday, the district center of Sangin in Afghanistan’s restive south province of Helmand was overrun by the Taliban after months of heavy fighting with Afghan forces backed by U.S. air support. “
Usually, the CIA just shoots American service members willy nilly and without qualms. So your speculations don’t factor that in.
Mark Levin was a lot more emotional and vocal with this tripe some weeks ago on a Friday night.
Russia is helping to ‘kill American soldiers’.
Saudi Arabian and Gulf Arab Islamic $$$$$$$$ does a lot to twist a deeply in debt nation’s foreign and defense policy and how twisted its been since Saudi citizens flew airplanes into building and killed so many on 9/11.
Pakistan was the main funder of the Taliban.
Go back through all the news stories of the past decade. You just don’t find anyone talking some connection between the Russian government and the Taliban. No one ever suggests that a relationship exists.
Might be or is?
In the article it says US special forces are on the ground.
..no surprise, Odungo did it for years...
We've been training the Afghan military for 15 years now. Yeah, better training, that's the problem. It couldn't be that a strategy of imposing a central government on a country full of tribesmen whose loyalty is to their tribe and will resist any central government was doomed to failure. I know, lets blame the Russians! Everyone else does. I'm sure McCain and Lindsay will run with it. No evidence needed.

I don’t think they can prove it yet. Probably SIGINT indicates it but no one has caught them transferring weapons and ammunition.
Still trying to start a war with Russia aren’t you.

Well, who does Russia want on their border? Do they want the US? Or would they want a bunch of pre-historic savages?
The US needs to stop being “surprised” that Russia wants to secure their borders.
Pakistan’s Intel Agency, ISI, created the Taliban and still supports it today. Pakistan is the two faced bad actor in this region that continually keeps the embers glowing. All we need to do is to refer back to how they protected Bin laden.
