The fighting between Taliban and Northern Alliance only happened after both fought against the Russians on behalf of US/NATO. A well documented historical fact. To say that Taliban and Northern Alliance were enemies all along is factually incorrect.
That is wishful thinking by those that support US/NATO. After a heavy defeat it is pretty normal for the opposing side to fabricate excuses and pretend that they are still in charge and on the winning side. The truth is that Iran, China, Russia and Pakistan have all covertly supported the Taliban. All have channels with the Taliban. The US/NATO received an incredible spanking. With all their military and economic might they couldn't score a comprehensive victory in Afghanistan. Not because the Taliban are strong, but simply because the neighboring countries don't want US/NATO presence in the region.
Did you really think that Russia, China, Pakistan and Iran were going to sit idle and watch how US/NATO was going to setup their colony in our backyard?
Now watch what happens next. China is going to move into Afghanistan and tap the trillions worth of minerals. That will happen through CPEC and all the haters will fume. In fact they already know the score and are throwing kneejerk reactions through MSM. You haven't seen anything yet. This is not even the beginning of things.
China, Russia and Iran are stepping up talks geared toward preserving stability across Central Asia, including in Afghanistan, where the country's government is rapidly losing control of its borders to Taliban advances in the wake of a U.S. military withdrawal.
