Washington Post: Afghanistan has become a terrorism staging ground again, leak reveals
Less than two years after President Biden withdrew U.S. personnel from Afghanistan, the country has become a significant coordination site for the Islamic State as the terrorist group plans attacks across Europe and Asia, and conducts “aspirational plotting” against the United States, according to a classified Pentagon assessment that portrays the threat as a growing security concern.
The attack planning, detailed in U.S. intelligence findings leaked on the Discord messaging platform and obtained by The Washington Post, reveal specific efforts to target embassies, churches, business centers and the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament, which drew more than 2 million spectators last summer in Qatar. Pentagon officials were aware in December of nine such plots coordinated by ISIS leaders in Afghanistan, and the number rose to 15 by February, says the assessment, which has not been disclosed previously.

They may stage it there but it does not go international without support from Pakistan.
Here we are giving Russia a hard time for not capturing Bakmut in a year but we couldn’t defeat a bunch of cavemen with “0” AirPower or support in over 15 years! What’s up Doc?
Cavemen?
No, 7th century throwbacks armed by Iran and Pakistan. Obama had his surge and when it did not work he put Afghanistan on the backplate on simmer.
Sun Tzi could have predicted the US would lose. Pakistan was part of the enemy alliance ans we never acknowledge it much less took steps to defeat Pakistan.
Know you enemy. We never acknowledge the enemy. Smug in DC.

Stage in Afghanistan and plan by the US.
It is all about destroying your standing all around the World
And destroying your borders and economic and energy strength, supply chains..
Biden is full on helping them
If you think we are unaware of Pakistan, its nukes, and its terror groups then you are not reading proper sources for what is going on.
This is something to perhaps encourage, from the perspective of those who want to see the Chinese in-roads into Afghanistan fail.
If you think we are unaware of Pakistan, its nukes, and its terror groups,,,
and we did nothing about it,
Show me where an American DIPlomat had so much as a sharply worded letter to his Pakistani counterpart from 2001 to 1020.
You would do well to explore these facts:
a. Pakistan has nukes
b. they are not accessible to the US for inspection or any other thing.
c. We send them money as aid to have those nukes protected against domestic terror groups.
d. We are not about to do anything to harm Pakistan because of those nukes.
e. When we took out OBL we made sure Pakistan was unaware of our plan
