Actually, I did read the article. You clearly didn’t, since you missed that the headline is not a direct quote. Putin acknowledged the Taliban’s control and their interest in stability, which aligns with Russia’s goals, but didn’t flat-out call them an “ally.”
If pointing out these facts is nitpicking, maybe you need to brush up on your reading comprehension before defending misleading headlines.
He really did call them allies, and I have this quote both in Russian and in English. No matter how you slice it it says what it says. Moreover, this in not his first acknowledgement of potential cooperation, it’s been going on for quite some time now.
If you genuinely believe Putin called the Taliban “allies,” you must be reading a different script. He mentioned their control and stability role, not a formal alliance. Misinterpreting statements to fit your narrative doesn’t make them true. Maybe next time, try actually understanding the context instead of cherry-picking quotes. Don’t bother to reply btw
No one here is saying they have formed a formal alliance (yet). It’s funny how you say he mentions “control”, and “stability”, then did your eyes shield you from the next line?
"… the Taliban are certainly our allies in the fight against terrorism… "
Literally says they are his allies in a quote taken directly from the shitheads’ mouth.
You can try twist it in your mind however you want, but no one is as stupid as you, and we can actually read.
I sure did. Did you read the article? You’re nitpicking. He said what he said.

I’ll remind you when the formal alliance will be finalized since MID is already working on excluding them from the terrorist list.
