              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.

                  I’ll remind you when the formal alliance will be finalized since MID is already working on excluding them from the terrorist list.

                  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.

      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.
