A warring nation, united against us



Nobody should be surprised by the rapid collapse of the western puppet government in Kabul.

Prior to 2001, the Taliban were very much a Pashtun nationalist force, fiercely opposed by the Tajik, Uzbek, and Hazara forces of the Northern Alliance.

Twenty years of hated foreign occupation has transformed the Taliban from a Pashtun internationalist force to an Afghan nationalist force.

As with the previous three times when UK invasions were defeated in Afghanistan, we have united a warring nation in hatred of us.

Journalists and politicians who never left the bubble of NATO-protected, pro-western NGOs are as surprised as they are ignorant.
