Millions Afghanis hate Taliban from Pakistan except drug dealers of course

The bazaar exists solely to trade Afghan drugs for Russian guns – and sometimes a bit of sex on the side.
hehe...you've spent all this time searching and this is the best you found.
Where's the Taliban. All I see is a guy with a gun and a farmer. Many Afghani's have guns, including the NA.
Besides the caption below trying to convince me that this is a taliban soldier...there is nothing their that is indictive, that this is the taliban. Nothing whatsoever.
"Smugglers told the independant"...well, gee, I'm convinced...must be true. After all...the 'smugglers' told the 'independant'..absolutely no names mentioned...no substance, nothing whatsoever. Yet you and others are so willing to believe this..without question.
Thanks Tallowood, for providing us with exactly what I am talking about. I bet that the photo also had a long article...that really, just like the photo and quote, full of nothing but hot air, with very little to no substance.
Now maybe he is Taliban...but maybe he isn't....I don't really know, and neither do you, and that photo really doesn't indicate either way.
Try again...
