ISIS-K are disgruntled Taliban from Pakistan who formed their own group in 2015 and are based in Afghanistan. Included in the terrorist organization are the Afghan Taliban and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. ISIS-K eventually poached from other groups. While they are allegedly enemies of the Taliban, when it comes to a common enemy, the US, they work together.
Ric Mathews, Principal of The Mathews Group explained.
“Isis and the Taliban have both been around for a long time,” explained Mathews. “Isis K particularly is the cell organized in Afghanistan area. They’ve been there a long time. They’ve been relatively quiet for a while, but they’ve come out now again. Isis and the Taliban have never necessarily been friends. They disagree for example on how some parts of Islamic law is enforced. How strict certain things are, how relaxed they are in certain areas. And they differ on that. But they do come together on one thing, neither one of them really like the United States.”
ISIS-K’s or ISKP’s goal is to establish a caliphate, or an Islamic empire governed by Sharia law, in the historic Khorasan region. It encompasses large parts of Central and South Asia. The Afghan Taliban are in ISIS-K’s words, “filthy nationalists.” They slander other terrorist groups merely to promote themselves.
THE TERROR
A United Nations report published in June said that the group has approximately 1,500 to 2,200 core fighters, mostly based in the Kunar and Nangarhar provinces of eastern Afghanistan.
In the first four months of 2021, the UN says that there were 77 attacks in Afghanistan that were attributed to or claimed by ISIS-K. That’s up from the same period in 2020, which saw only 21 ISIS-K attacks.
By 2018, it had become one of the top four deadliest terrorist organizations in the world, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global Terrorism Index.
The US-led Afghan forces were thought to have defeated ISIS-K by early 2020, but they reconstituted, helped by prisoner releases. The Taliban have emptied out every prison. ISIS-K is allegedly meaner than the Afghan Taliban.
They have a lot of money and they’re great at media propaganda.
ISIS-K or Khilafat Ghag has its own radio station in Afghanistan. They had a Twitter page, now suspended, but appear to still communicate on Facebook and Telegram.
US officials are disgracefully and illegally holding tense negotiations with the Taliban terrorists for permission to bring busloads of Afghans to the airport for flights to places like Ukraine and Albania.
Meanwhile, the death toll at the Kabul airport has risen to 13 US servicemen and about 170 Afghans. Two British citizens and the child of another British citizen were killed in the attack. And we have an imbecile for a president. It could be worse — Kamala Harris could become president.
Greg Kelly is beside himself as he shows the clips of a clearly unfit, dotard. This is what is going to entice the terrorists to strike:

Besides all that he IS a pathological liar…and fits right in with the corrupt MSM and censor the ‘right’ social media…
You would think that after this, People would realize that Democrats can’t Govern. At least a third of America would still vote Democrat and maybe 25% of Americans are “Proud Democrats”. We have a lot of mentally ill people in America who are actually OK with what is going on in Afghanistan.

Four HUGE hawks were circling overhead earlier and it was beautiful!

ONE FOR HISTORY BUFFS THAT I BET YOU DID NOT KNOW
In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War. President Ford went to Congress for a relief package to allow American personnel and our allies to evacuate. However, there was ONE US SENATOR who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon
This senator reveled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford. Despite the efforts of this U.S. Senator–President Ford managed to rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country’s fall. Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been targeted and slaughtered for their support for America . When they arrived in America , President Ford asked Congress for a package to assist these refugees to integrate into American society.
That SAME troublesome SENATOR TORPEDOED ANY SUPPORT for these shell shocked, anti-communist, Americans and our helpers, the refugees.
Instead, President Ford had to recruit Christian organizations to offer assistance on a voluntary basis. As he did so, the Senator belittled those efforts. What kind of person would oppose President Ford’s tireless work to do the right and humanitarian thing? Who would want to play politics with the well-being of innocent people who stood by America in the tragic Vietnam War?
THAT SENATOR WAS JOE BIDEN
From the book - "When the Center Held." by Donald Rumsfeld in 2018.(biography)
No Cuban refugees…No Christian refugees…No ‘thinking’ refugees…The end game is becoming obvious eh!!!
