Russia may be supplying Taliban?

Russia may be helping supply Taliban insurgents: U.S. general
The top U.S. general in Europe said on Thursday that he had seen Russian influence on Afghan Taliban insurgents growing and raised the possibility that Moscow was helping supply the militants, whose reach is expanding in southern Afghanistan.
"I've seen the influence of Russia of late - increased influence in terms of association and perhaps even supply to the Taliban," Army General Curtis Scaparrotti, who is also NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
He did not elaborate on what kinds of supplies might be headed to the Taliban or how direct Russia's role might be.
But Russian officials have denied they provide aid to the insurgents, who are contesting large swaths of territory and inflicting heavy casualties, and say their limited contacts are aimed at bringing the Taliban to the negotiating table.

Isnt that far fetched. We have been arming/training terrorists for decades!

Oh Gawd, the MIC sure does want that new Cold War. It's 'Red Scare' time again. Time to blame Russia for everything. And the Sheeple will eat it all up. Bet on that.

 

[The Great Goose]

Yawn

I suppose they have their reasons.

Yawn

Yes, our history of doing it has shown positive results

I wouldn't put it past Russia.

It's 'Red Scare' time again. It's irrational hysteria. They're gonna blame Russia for everything now. So predictable. Gotta get the Sheeple on board for another Cold War. More history repeating itself.

I doubt it. The Taliban uses archaic equipment.

If Russia were supplying them, they would be wielding AK-103 and RPG-30s.

Ok

Of course.

I'm not exactly up to date on the specifics of these claims, but there's no question that Russia would finance specific Taliban groups, if their interests were along the same lines.

We do the same thing, too. It's called politics.

There's no evidence whatsoever confirming this. It's Warmonger Bullshite. Some really really want that new Cold War. They'll do and say anything to get it.

They use the 103

IKR? Russia would never do something like this!

Not saying that. But there's no credible evidence proving this one. It's a claim thrown out there to increase tensions. It's also intended to work up the American Sheeple. An attempt to get them fully on board supporting more war. The MIC clearly wants a new Cold War. And it'll likely get it.

Better rethink that as I was going through some recent tweets this morning from Muzzy Russians or Chechens that were thrilled Afghan Taliban is back and have Russian weapons. They have been killing Afghan soldiers and police since before December 2016

Uh huh, and Iraq was a threat to the US too. Just more Warmonger B.S. When will Americans wake up? They're being duped into supporting this Permanent War agenda.

The reports are from people who live there that are telling about the Afghani forces being slaughtered there. The Afghani people telling how sixty of there troops slaughtered in a day is a support of perpetual war? Taliban and other gangs joining in once again to re-establish the Taliban for tribal wars is for the control of farms that were formerly Poppies fields but are now growing food and those farmers couldn't stave them off alone (the religious war makes good cover for them and drones willing to kill themselves for the cause). The farmers there asked for help to defend their farming communities. The drug lords (aka taliban) killed several hundred of the troops that were from Afghanistan. Russian thugs involved very possible or merely the thugs are just using the Russian label but are actually from somewhere else. Drugs are after all trafficked throughout the world and its big business and money that thugs don't wanna lose.

It's actually well known that Russia has assisted in bringing safety and security to some areas of Afghanistan. But that doesn't sell the new Cold War the MIC wants. So it won't get mentioned. But regardless, 16yrs is long enough. We got Bin Laden. It's time to leave Afghanistan and come home.

Well I will leave that decision to the experts and our new president as that is their job to make the call. I can say we have a nephew that served for three re-ups that said he would go back in a heartbeat if the people there need him. That was the area he served in. Under Clinton-Obama they bombed right on top of his team several times and that he said he wouldn't go back if Obama remained in charge so he got out.
