An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
These head-chopping obscurantists the Taliban would never had existed but for us. We spent blood and treasure in oceanic proportions and we rubbed the lamp and conjured forth these satanic demons.
It's true that the West did much to help set up the Taliban, as a counter to Russia when the Russians were in Afghanistan. But Afghanistan has consisted of different Muslim groups competing with each other for centuries. Thus if the West had abstained from helping set up the Taliban, we'd now have some other equally odious group running the place, ISIS for example.

I found a PDF on it, and all different tribal groups fight over the resources, and Pakistan backs a lot of them.
