Haven’t we seen this film once already?
At least twice.
We really did get a clown timeline lol
Not the onion? What is this timeline?
Fascism is as fascism does.
The one where ISIS exists and attacked Moscow’s Crocus City Hall theater in March. IIRC the Taliban and ISIS aren’t best friends because ISIS sees them as resting on their laurels and wanting to stabilize their control of Afghanistan rather than expanding and building an Islamic State.
This is not an “are we the baddies?” situation because they already know the answer.
ISIS -K does terror attacks all over the region. Taliban fights ISIS-K.
This is not news for anyone slightly informed about the region. Are people going to be surprised we worked with Iran to fight ISIS next?
Dafuq?
Can we crowdfund a ballistic missile with a conventional payload to launch at Moscow?
Just need a good hacked drone to fly into Putin’s limo.
Oh how the turntables
The title “Putin calls Taliban Russia’s ally in combating terrorism” is both misleading and a classic example of sensationalism. Putin didn’t outright call the Taliban an “ally.” He merely noted their control and interest in Afghan stability, which happens to coincide with Russia’s anti-terrorism goals.
But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good headline, right?
Did you read the article? There’s a direct quote at the very beginning.
Let the man earn his paycheck
Looks like someone’s quick to play the paycheck card whenever their sensationalist nonsense gets called out. Just because I’m not buying into overblown headlines doesn’t mean I’m on someone’s payroll lol. Maybe try engaging with the facts instead of resorting to cheap shots.
Im shocked that guy didnt respond to this comment. Shocked! Ok, well, not that shocked.
Did you read my comment?
I sure did. Did you read the article? You’re nitpicking. He said what he said.
Actually, I did read the article. You clearly didn’t, since you missed that the headline is not a direct quote. Putin acknowledged the Taliban’s control and their interest in stability, which aligns with Russia’s goals, but didn’t flat-out call them an “ally.”
If pointing out these facts is nitpicking, maybe you need to brush up on your reading comprehension before defending misleading headlines.
He really did call them allies, and I have this quote both in Russian and in English. No matter how you slice it it says what it says. Moreover, this in not his first acknowledgement of potential cooperation, it’s been going on for quite some time now.
If you genuinely believe Putin called the Taliban “allies,” you must be reading a different script. He mentioned their control and stability role, not a formal alliance. Misinterpreting statements to fit your narrative doesn’t make them true. Maybe next time, try actually understanding the context instead of cherry-picking quotes. Don’t bother to reply btw
No one here is saying they have formed a formal alliance (yet). It’s funny how you say he mentions “control”, and “stability”, then did your eyes shield you from the next line?
"… the Taliban are certainly our allies in the fight against terrorism… "
Literally says they are his allies in a quote taken directly from the shitheads’ mouth.
You can try twist it in your mind however you want, but no one is as stupid as you, and we can actually read.
I’ll remind you when the formal alliance will be finalized since MID is already working on excluding them from the terrorist list.

Russia’s anti-terrorism goals
You’ll say this is a quote. The fact that you rely on this very phrase is hilarious. Either Putin equals Russia for you or you accept that he is not a terrorist.
