" Top US Commander...It's is fair to assume Russia is providing support to Taliban".
No shocker. But how upset can we be...i of course do not like our servicemen in harms way any more than necessary...but what should we expect. A few years back, these were freedom fighters who were fighting the Russians. Now they fight us. We supplied them...and not as clandestinely as we may have wanted or wished.
I understand Russia's invasion, occupation of Afghanistan was different. But not to Afghanis. Occupiers are occupiers. So it's payback in Russia's mind.
Point being....imo...I will never trust them. Although it's a nice thought of us getting along as DJT would like, but it may be a bit naive. IF this gets proven, I'm sure Trump will rethink his relationship with Vlad.
Hope so.
