I've posted in the past about Afghanistan and the start of Operation "Enduring Freedom" and UK/US Special Forces aligning with the Afghan Northern Alliance. Also the night of the televised set-piece air-drop invasion of Afghanistan and the actions that night that were not televised.
I've posted about an assault by special forces on a compound that same night and the surprisingly stiff resistance that Western Troops came across that night. A compound that intelligence had suggested had a large group of Afghan leaders in situ. All in the same place at the same time.
I've also hinted previously that that assault was a major contribution to the problems we endured in Afghanistan itself and the Muslim Terror threat we have here at home.
I've posted how the names of the countries involved in Op-EF almost exactly correlates with the countries that have endured terror attacks at home. It's also interesting that after I pointed that out, there have been fewer attacks. To the threat analysts out there: you're welcome.
Anyhoo, why do you think, some wind-blown compound in Afghanistan has such an impact on our war with terror.
It involves the people that were there that night. I believe there were Gulf-State nationals in that compound, from Saudi Arabia, Dubai and the UAE. Those nationals were at the compound for whatever reason, but you can bet your bottom dollar it wasn't for anything beneficial to the West. I assume they were there to discuss funding more extremist Taliban activity in the face of the Northern Alliance successes at the time and possibly buying property in Pakistan to allow the movement of senior Taliban officials across the border.
Now, I further assume that the families of those people have sought revenge against the West ever since that night. The people we're talking about have almost limitless pockets and are able to transfer money around the world in furtherance of their terrorist activities.
Because you have to ask how the people that commit these acts are getting their money. Where, for example does a man get enough money for air fare to America in order to take hostages? I'll also just mention that how does a man referred to prevent and with a criminal record get a plane ticket without triggering the intelligence authorities in the UK and then how does he get through US immigration?
As with all of these cases, there are so many coincidences and unanswered questions. I'm sure the intelligence services have the answers.
But there remains several questions. For instance, if we know of the existence of these funding networks from countries in the Gulf, why do we class these countries as allies if they haven't closed down these funding networks?
I'm also convinced the reason the West pulled out of Afghanistan so hastily was connected with the Gulf State conduit. America is once again dependent of Gulf State energy products after being self-sufficient for a number of years.
Yet another legacy of the Biden administration.
