So why on Earth would the NRF Resistance continue?? I mean hiding in mountains and launching ambushes may kill some Taliban fighters but I don't see the NRF could gain anything out of it unless they are expecting the Dostum group to gel together and start something from Uzbekistan.
Speaking of which.. what kind of influence Russia has over Tajikistan and Uzbekistan if it can't control some minor issues like sheltering anti-Taliban forces? You would never see Europeans, with or without being in NATO, crossing America and that's part of the reason the West is so successful. Russia seems like either a paper tiger or playing some double game.
Theirs an old Punjabi saying, "Jab kuta ki mot ati, sher ka mo ma bag kar jata".
