It is for propaganda and for openly training. I am sure this living and training ground was very much known to the Western militaries. The Western governments have accepted the Taliban government and will not fight further. This came through a process that included the training of this commando unit. Even some years ago the Taliban were forcing farmer to grow opium and sold that to CIA. Taliban fighters were also being carried aboard US air force planes to the battlefields of Syria to fight against the common ideological enemy - the government of Bashar al Assad.
Agree.
Well, I knew of this thread at the start but lost interest but posted today. I was in recent days disgusted by
@FOOLS_NIGHTMARE posting deliriously happy multiple threads about the Taliban's takeover in different cities and their updates and many other members being so happy about this.
1. Two or three days ago - before the takeover of Kabul - China, USA, Pakistan and India had said that they will accept the next government "as long as there is no further fighting for Kabul". It was clearly known even back then that the Taliban will form a mostly exclusive government which may include elements from the previous government ( I had been saying this too ). So these four governments have accepted the Taliban government.
2. Yesterday there was a post of a vid of the Chinese government CGTN TV channel with a female anchor interviewing the international spokesperson of the Taliban, Suhail Shaheen, and asking to the effect what will be the structure of the Taliban government. Basically again acceptance of the Taliban.
3. Many of the PDF Chinese members have been posting in support of the Taliban government. No Chinese member has posted a recent thread condemning the acts of the Taliban and the takeover. They are just echoing their government.
4. Afghanistan has some consumer and industrial mineral deposits like gold, copper and lithium and maybe others. China and the West will want to extract those and this is part of their acceptance of Taliban government.
5. Of course the Western governments wouldn't have wanted progressives in Afghanistan to have had even a tiny chance of forming governance instead of the Taliban. I know of one such progressive, leftist movement called the
Solidarity Party of Afghanistan. The West doesn't want Muslim-majority countries to have progressive governances, hence the 2011 invasion of Libya and the current 10-year-old war in Syria. This sort of thing goes back all the way to post-WW2 years.
I think this is already being drawn up.
Possible.
You are wrong. If you want to know what a 40+ military invasion by NATO looks like you have to look at the 2011 invasion of Libya by the NATO+GCC air forces, navies, commandos and the thousands of their transnational mullah criminal allies. Look at the ten-year-old Syria war where the country has been overrun by tens of thousands of transnational criminals support politically and logistically by NATO and GCC.
Lastly, the Taliban is a co-creation of the Western governments and has now been conveniently accepted by them. Same as between 1996 and 2001 during the first so-called Islamic Emirate. All that fighting in the middle by NATO was half-hearted
