This is John Bachelor, speaking to my colleague, Bill Raggio,

the Foundation for the Defensive Democracies,

about a new report from the UN Security Council,

condemning Afghanistan for its abuses and brutality and cruelty

towards its own people and everyone else it comes in contact with.

At the same time, making it very clear that the Taliban works

integrally with the Taliban of the Pakistan and with al-Qaeda,

Bill is explicit about how long this has been known,

al-Qaeda, the Taliban of Afghanistan, the Taliban of Pakistan,

teammates, here's Bill.

Yeah, they provide refuge and they've supported this group throughout.

So keep in mind that at the height of the Taliban

insurgency in Pakistan from 2007 to 2015,

the Afghan Taliban was providing support, manpower,

weaponry, whatever it could to help the movement of the Taliban in Pakistan.

And then the movement of Taliban in Pakistan returned the favor by focusing

their efforts in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over the country up to August 2021.

So yeah, this is the head of the movement of the Taliban in Pakistan

swears allegiance to the leader of the Afghan Taliban,

to Mullah Habibullah, Akhazada.

These are uncomfortable facts for many,

but this and this, the Pakistani state, the deep state, those are in charge.
