- eurasiantiger 5y agoSo it is a fact that USA created the Taliban. Nice.
- nate_meurer 5y agoThere are many facts you can cherry pick to suit whatever narrative you want to sell. Why ignore the support and funding from Sunnis across the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia? Why ignore the founding of early Taliban madrassas by Jamiat Ulema-e Islam in Pakistan? There's plenty of blame to go around, and no reason to be selective unless you have an agenda.
