All legal responsibilities for gun sales @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and NOT VT or Veterans Today Network This is an original version of our famous “ can-within-a-can design .
This was originally designed for UK forces as a replacement for the HK MP 5 .
Their version is 40 round clips , .300AAC/Blackout with threaded recess barrel ( on the VT version as well ) to take a silencer .
If in Blackout , subsonic ammo is available .
When tested against a 9mm MP 5 which costs 4 times as much , this weapon makes the MP 5 look like a child @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fake weapons gurus had no idea we could get 8 times the range and 5 times the hitting power out of a lighter weapon with larger capacity that you can also beat someone to death with , thus the ‘ can within a can ’ design .
This is the preferred ‘ real life ’ combat shooter at below 400 meters where 99.9 percent of real combat happens .
What would look better when storming a state capitol building ?
• 30 or 10 round magazine – depending on your local laws • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not reduce the total sound but is supposed to direct more of it forward away from the shooter .
The .450 Bushmaster round was developed specifically as a deer hunting round though it can also be a quite effective anti-personnel round .
Several states , including Michigan , have different zones during deer hunting season .
Those nearer to cities only allow the use of shotguns or rifles using non-tapered rounds .
The intent of the non-tapered round was to use a pistol cartridge in a rifle for a limited range and power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , .44 magnum or the .45 Long Colt are used .
Any rifle that uses a cartridge has a larger compartment for powder and is necked down to propel a smaller caliber bullet at high velocity is not allowed .
Bushmaster designed a round to get around this limitation and called it the .450 Bushmaster .
You can think of it as basically a .45 very long Colt .
It is a non-tapered cartridge so it is legal to use in these restricted areas but has power similar to the high powered hunting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ designed for the .450 ( a standard .223 magazine can be used in single stack configuration but is much more prone to jam . )
• Optic not included in price but we have a few available .
The .350 Legend is a brand new round that was first introduced in 2019 .
It was designed primarily for deer hunting but is also a very fine anti-personnel round .
It is a smooth sided round similar to the idea of the .450 Bushmaster but is a much more controllable round to shoot with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bushmaster , it was designed to allow hunters to use it in areas that limit deer hunting to the use of shotguns and non-tapered pistol rounds .
They started with a basic .223 round and did not taper it down to the .223 bullet .
This makes the projectile a .357 bullet .
It is Quite effective .
• 5 round hunting magazine ( most states limit capacity for hunting to 5 rounds .
Larger magazine will probably be available in the future ) • Optics are available but not included in price @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cosmetic laws that ban so-called “ assault rifles.
” Any rifle with any appearance item from a list of “ features ” makes it illegal to purchase .
We designed and built a “ featureless ” rifle that has none of the evil parts .
Functionally it is identical to our regular AR rifles , it just looks different .
At first glance , it looks a bit odd but it is actually very pleasant to shoot .
We are now selling this rifle with the much nicer generation 3 stock .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stock shown in the first 3 photos .
This stock not only looks better but it gets around the non-adjustable restriction by including a series of spacers that can be put in or taken out to adjust the length of the stock .
This is legal .
It will come with an upper like the one shown on the older model pictured above .
The 3-9X40 Barksa scope is not included but is available for an additional $ 60 • 16-inch phosphate coated barrel , target crowned without threads ( one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ featureless ” stock with a curved hand grip instead of a pistol grip .
( another banned item ) The 6.5 Grendel is the round that the military should be using as it has much more power and accuracy at distance .
The bullet is still traveling at supersonic speeds at 1000 yards .
This rifle features a high-end ELD Defense match grade target barrel .
It maintains accuracy at well past 1000 yards .
ELD is a British company that has made barrels for the UK competition rifle team for many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US market and offered manufacturers reasonable prices to get us to try their products .
We have found their quality to be excellent .
Now that we are using them the introductory prices have ended .
This is the last barrel we bought at the lower price so in the future this rifle will cost more .
We have one Chinese made SKS rifle ( It appears to be a Norinco , but it does not have brand markings ) It has not been touched and is still coated in cosmolene .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trench art on the stock .
It is chambered in 7.62X39 ( same as the AK-47 ) We gave it a cursory examination and it appears to be in relatively good condition but it has been used in battle so it has some scars .
The cosmolene prevents a closer inspection and I didn ’ t take any photos .
We are therefore offering it in as-in condition .
• We also have a new modern custom foldable stock that accepts removable magazines and one magazine .
These are available if desired at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Contact Mike for the details .
This is a very rare collectible rifle in “ hand select ” condition .
The Finns copied the Russian Mosin Nagant but shortened the barrel slightly and installed a much-improved trigger system .
They made only a tiny fraction of the number made by the Russians and few were imported to the US .
It is still in cosmolene and is in above average condition .
It appears to have been used very little or not at all .
It is chambered in 7.62X54R as is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rare and this may be your only chance to get one .
These are just a few of our available offerings .
We have many assembled rifles in stock for immediate shipping as well as parts to custom build on to your specifications .

veteranstoday--2020-10-13--Trump administration pushes US war on Iran into high gear

The Trump administration is pushing the US war on Iran into high gear with these new ramped-up sanctions that are more extreme than just about any sanctions anyone has ever applied anywhere .
These sanctions are now stopping basic medical equipment from getting into Iran such as the Mepilex dressings from Sweden that are used to treat wounds , serious wounds .
Apparently , Trump and his Zionist backers want Iranians to be wounded and not to heal .
They want to inflict horrific pain on ordinary Iranian people .
Why would they do that ?
Well , the Zionists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They ’ ve perpetrated by far the worst Holocaust ever in modern history by not only destroying Palestine but also dragging the US into wars that have killed well over 10 million people .
It ’ s 27 million , according to Dr. Gideon Polya who ’ s a Jewish scientist operating out of Australia .
So this worldwide holocaust that was launched by the Israeli-designed 9/11 false flag operation consisting of the murder of 3,000 Americans to trick the United States into using its military to destroy the Middle East on behalf @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a holocaust far beyond anything Hitler even dreamed of .
And it ’ s being perpetrated by Zionists .
And yet , we ’ re not allowed to say that here in the United States , where all of the media essentially is dominated as Philip Weiss , the former New York Times journalist another Jewish fellow who tells the truth like Gideon Polya points out , is under the control of Jewish Americans who have a soft spot in their hearts for Israel , and skew all the news towards the Israeli @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israeli orders .
He ’ s acting under Netanyahu ’ s orders .
He ’ s trying maybe to get back in the good graces of Netanyahu ’ s biggest backer , the Kosher Nostra kingpin Sheldon Adelson and get money for his reelection efforts .
So the US is really an Israeli occupied territory .
It ’ s waging a worldwide holocaust , and these criminal sanctions on Iran are the latest and perhaps in some ways most extreme example .
I suppose Iranians can take heart in the fact that Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic medical care there and worsening the crisis caused by the COVID pandemic among other things , but he ’ s done the same thing here in the United States and elsewhere .
The United States right now is on the brink of a new Civil War thanks to both the crazy policies of Trump and the Zionist Kosher Nostra that put him in office , and also the so-called opposition to Trump which is also Zionist – the liberal Zionist opposition , consisting of the billionaires who own the Democratic Party , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all over the country , among other things , working on a divide and conquer strategy .
And so the US is going down too .
Americans are going to be suffering .
And I suppose many people will say it ’ s their karma , or it ’ s the retribution of God for what they ’ ve done .
And I only pray to God that He will have mercy on not just the criminals here ; frankly—I ’ m not so interested in that— but on all of the 300 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the worst holocaust ever in human history , and who are just going about their lives paying no attention as the US now forces Iranians with wounds to go without bandages and stops other medical equipment from getting into Iran .
Ordinary Americans are responsible for this .
It ’ s not just the Zionists who now occupy the United States .
It ’ s the ordinary Americans who allowed them to take over the United States and turn it into Israeli occupied territory .
They are guilty too .
Dr. Kevin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and radio host with a Ph.D. in Islamic and Arabic Studies .
He has been studying the events of 9/11 since late 2003 .

Interview by Kevin Barrett, VT Editor, for Press TV
The Trump administration is pushing the US war on Iran into high gear with these new ramped-up sanctions that are more extreme than just about any sanctions anyone has ever applied anywhere.
These sanctions are now stopping basic medical equipment from getting into Iran such as the Mepilex dressings from Sweden that are used to treat wounds, serious wounds. Apparently, Trump and his Zionist backers want Iranians to be wounded and not to heal. They want to inflict horrific pain on ordinary Iranian people.
Why would they do that? Well, the Zionists obviously have a sadistic personality disorder. They’ve perpetrated by far the worst Holocaust ever in modern history by not only destroying Palestine but also dragging the US into wars that have killed well over 10 million people. It’s 27 million, according to Dr. Gideon Polya who’s a Jewish scientist operating out of Australia.
So this worldwide holocaust that was launched by the Israeli-designed 9/11 false flag operation consisting of the murder of 3,000 Americans to trick the United States into using its military to destroy the Middle East on behalf of Israel.
And again this is a holocaust far beyond anything Hitler even dreamed of. And it’s being perpetrated by Zionists. And yet, we’re not allowed to say that here in the United States, where all of the media essentially is dominated as Philip Weiss, the former New York Times journalist another Jewish fellow who tells the truth like Gideon Polya points out, is under the control of Jewish Americans who have a soft spot in their hearts for Israel, and skew all the news towards the Israeli perspective.
Iran rights council: US criminal sanctions target Iranians’ lives, health Iran’s top human rights council says the latest US sanctions on Iranian financial systems and banks are taking direct aim at Iranian people’s lives and health.
So Trump is acting under Israeli orders. He’s acting under Netanyahu’s orders. He’s trying maybe to get back in the good graces of Netanyahu’s biggest backer, the Kosher Nostra kingpin Sheldon Adelson and get money for his reelection efforts.
So the US is really an Israeli occupied territory. It’s waging a worldwide holocaust, and these criminal sanctions on Iran are the latest and perhaps in some ways most extreme example.
I suppose Iranians can take heart in the fact that Trump is not only killing Iranians by stopping basic medical care there and worsening the crisis caused by the COVID pandemic among other things, but he’s done the same thing here in the United States and elsewhere.
The United States right now is on the brink of a new Civil War thanks to both the crazy policies of Trump and the Zionist Kosher Nostra that put him in office, and also the so-called opposition to Trump which is also Zionist – the liberal Zionist opposition, consisting of the billionaires who own the Democratic Party, who have been funding rioting and arsons all over the country, among other things, working on a divide and conquer strategy.
And so the US is going down too. Americans are going to be suffering. And I suppose many people will say it’s their karma, or it’s the retribution of God for what they’ve done. And I only pray to God that He will have mercy on not just the criminals here; frankly—I’m not so interested in that— but on all of the 300 million-plus Americans who’ve gone along with the worst holocaust ever in human history, and who are just going about their lives paying no attention as the US now forces Iranians with wounds to go without bandages and stops other medical equipment from getting into Iran.
Ordinary Americans are responsible for this. It’s not just the Zionists who now occupy the United States. It’s the ordinary Americans who allowed them to take over the United States and turn it into Israeli occupied territory. They are guilty too.
Leader: Iran to turn ‘maximum pressure’ into US ‘maximum disgrace’ Iran’s Leader says the Islamic Republic will continue to resist until facing the US with as much disgrace as is possible.

IAEA boss: Israel lies about Iran

Rafael Grossi is the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) .
He is not an Iranian sympathizer .
But when he was asked the question about how long it would take Iran to build nuclear weapons , Grossi indirectly deconstructed the entire Israeli machination by saying : “ In the IAEA we do not talk about breakout time .
We look at the significant quantity , the minimum amount of enriched uranium or plutonium needed to make an atomic bomb .
Iran does not have this significant quantity at the moment.
” [ 1 ] Think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a moment .
Think about how long Benjamin Netanyahu has perpetually told the entire world that Iran has always been on the brink of building nuclear weapons .
Once again , it is pertinent to bring in Netanyahu ’ s “ scholarly ” and “ truthful ” study here , Fighting Terrorism : How Democracies Can Defeat the International Terrorist Network .
“ The best estimate at this time place Iran between three and five years away from possessing the prerequisites required for the independent production of nuclear weapons .
After this time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ability to construct atomic weapons without the importation of materials or technology from abroad.
” [ 2 ] The best estimate ?
How did Netanyahu concoct this thread-bare hoax ?
Did he even cite the IAEA ?
Did he produce serious evidence ?
No .
As a pathological liar , Netanyahu was just doing what he has always done best : producing one lie after another in order to seduce much of the West .
He has to produce lies because he would love the West , particularly the United States , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Iraq , and he thinks he still can do it again .
Think about this for a moment .
It ’ s been more than forty years since Netanyahu has written Fighting Terrorism , a book which is nothing but a fabrication .
Iran still has no nuclear weapons .
In fact , it is generally agreed among U.S. and Israeli intelligence that Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program .
[ 3 ] Did Netanyahu start rethinking about his relentless lies and fabrications ?
Did he apologize to the world for slandering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head of the Israel Defense Force Lieutenant General Benny Gantz , who said that “ the Iranian leadership is composed of very rational people ” and is not interested in building nuclear weapons ?
[ 4 ] Of course not .
So , when we say that Benjamin Netanayhu is an ethnic cleanser , we are not talking about hyperbole here .
He is the true manifestation of a diabolical figure who will do anything to drink the blood of other people in the Middle East .

veteranstoday--2020-10-14--Interrelationship of Afghan and Pakistan Stability

In a tweet , the US President Donald Trump surprisingly announced on October 7 , this year that all US troops in Afghanistan could be home by Christmas , putting an end to America ’ s longest war .
According to the US former officials , “ Less than a month before the presidential election , President Trump ’ s abrupt vow to bring home troops from Afghanistan by year-end is a sign of how he may feel increasingly unchained to push through a foreign policy wish list he hopes could appeal to voters ” .
US analysts warned that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kabul ’ s position in the intra-Afghan talks and would further strengthen the Taliban , who already have an upper hand on the ground .
Notably , a landmark agreement between the US and the Taliban was signed on February 29 , 2020 in Doha-the capital of Qatar for bringing peace to Afghanistan .
In the agreement , it is committed that within the first 135 days , the US will reduce its forces in Afghanistan to 8,600 from the current 13,000 , working with its other NATO allies to proportionally reduce the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while America would withdraw all forces from Afghanistan in 14 months .
While the Taliban committed not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in the areas they control .
In this regard , Laurel Miller , who served as acting US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan , said : “ Trump appears to have put his re-election bid above US national security concerns and relations with allies , who serve alongside American troops in Afghanistan.
” Reacting to President Trump ’ s sudden decision , NATO Secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this year that its members “ would consult and decide together on when to leave Afghanistan…NATO will end its mission in Afghanistan only when conditions on the ground permit ” .
On the other side , Taliban welcomed American President Donald Trump ’ s announcement and called it a “ very positive step ” towards the implementation of the US-Taliban peace deal .
It is mentionable that Afghanistan ’ s former Chief Executive and Chairperson of Afghanistan ’ s High Council for National Reconciliation , Dr. Abdullah Abdullah visited Pakistan on September @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , during which he met Prime Minister Imran Khan , Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Quereshi and Chief of Army Staff Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa .
In the joint conference , with Foreign Minister Qureshi , Abdullah Abdullah said that , Afghanistan will never “ allow its soil to be used by extremist forces , posing a threat to any other nation…the start of intra-Afghan talks between Kabul and the Taliban was an important opportunity , as it offered the best hope to the war behind us…Pakistan and Afghanistan are facing several shared serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extremism…COVID-19…There is great scope for cooperation.
” Foreign Minister Qureshi assured Afghanistan that Pakistan completely supported its peace initiative , adding that Islamabad wanted to be “ friends not masters with the neighboring nation…the new realization and recognition if we have to coexist in peace and build a common future…our security and stability is interlinked…a political settlement is the only solution to the Afghan conflict ” .
However , these statements were part of optimism regarding the peace process in Afghanistan and Afghan ruler Abdullah ’ s double game .
For example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destabilizing Afghanistan and Pakistan , during his trip to India , in an interview with ThePrint , Afghan leader Abdullah Abdullah said on October 10 , this year that in the meeting with PM Modi , he discussed Kabul ’ s talks with Taliban and empahsised India ’ s role in the process—India has been supporting Afghanistan .
Meanwhile , US Special Representative for Afghan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and commander of NATO ’ s Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan Gen. Scott Miller called on Chief of Army Staff Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to ISPR , “ matters related to mutual interest , peace and stability in the region ; Pak-Afghan border management ; and current developments in the Afghan peace process were discussed during the meeting .
Special Representative for Afghanistan Ambassador Mohammad Sadiq was also present…The visiting dignitaries appreciated Pakistan ’ s positive role in furthering the Afghan peace process ” .
Negotiations between Afghan government and the Taliban were finally held in Doha on September 12 , 2020 , but produced no results .
Concerning the negotiations , Zalmay Khalilzad predicted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Taliban would not accept a permanent truce until a political deal is reached with the Afghan government .
He added that , in the Doha talks , the two sides have spent more than a week deciding agendas and the manner in which the two sides will be conducting the negotiations .
In this respect , at a hearing in the US House of Representatives , Zalmay Khalilzad warned on September 22 , 2020 that violence in Afghanistan remains unacceptably high , and Washington expects more setbacks in ongoing peace talks between Taliban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two decades of war .
Mr. Khalilzad stated that the decision regarding Afghan peace talks in Doha will be made after the US elections in November .
Earlier , Afghan President Ghani has used various pretexts and delaying tactics in completion of the US-Taliban agreement , including release of the Taliban prisoners .
Sometimes , he availed the opportunity of coronavirus pandemic , and sometimes he refused to set free those Taliban , allegedly saying that they had been involved in human crimes .
It is regrettable that on the direction of India @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Ghani accused Pakistan for terror attacks in Afghanistan .
In fact , New Delhi and Kabul , which are creating obstacles against a reconciliation between the Taliban and the Afghan government , are also exploiting America ’ s dual policy in Pakistan , China , Russia and Iran .
Regarding Indian activities in Afghanistan , the then NATO commander General McChrystal had pointed out , “ Indian political and economic influence is increasing in Afghanistan… [ and ] is likely to exacerbate regional tensions.
” Besides , a US-Taliban peace deal would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ineffective .
It suits Indian designs for Afghanistan to keep simmering , without moving towards peace .
In this context , reliable sources as mentioned in Pakistan ’ s media on August 18 , 2020 disclosed that Afghanistan-based the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ( TTP ) has merged with its splinter groups Jamat-ul-Ahrar ( JuA ) and Hizb-ul-Ahrar ( HuA ) in Afghanistan .
Their sole objective is to restart terrorist activity in Pakistan , while simultaneously sabotaging efforts to restore peace and stability in its war-ravaged Afghanistan .
Afghanistan ’ s National Directorate of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played a key role in their reunification .
The agreement , reportedly , designated Mufti Noor Wali as the amir ( Chief ) of TTP , making him responsible for all planned terrorist activities inside Pakistan and Afghanistan .
Islamabad has long accused Kabul of turning a blind eye toward TTP and other terrorists who fled to Afghanistan to escape counter-terrorist operations in Pakistan .
According to the UN report of July 26 , 2020 , “ The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and its splinter group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar ( JuA ) continue to target Pakistan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of ISIL-K ( The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Khorasan ) in Afghanistan ” , which the UN warns “ now pursues a global agenda ” .
The UN report warns of “ a strong presence of ISIL-India in Kerala and Karnataka .
ISIL-K considers Afghan territory a base for spreading terrorist influence across the wider region…The investigators found links between Indian nationals and terrorist attacks in Sri-Lank ” .
Taking cognizance of the present drastic situation , in his article published in The Washington Post on September 26 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against “ hasty withdrawal of foreign powers from Afghanistan ” and also cautioned that “ regional spoilers could use instability in the worn-torn country for their own vested interests…no people have paid a higher price for the conflict in Afghanistan than the people of Pakistan…peace and political stability in Afghanistan could not be imposed from the outside…Only an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led reconciliation process , which recognises Afghanistan ’ s political realities and diversity , could produce a lasting peace…Pakistan continued to be the target of attacks launched by externally enabled terrorist groups based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and present danger to global peace ” .
It is worth-mentioning that Foreign Minister Qureshi met Zalmay Khalilzad at Islamabad on July 1 , 2020 .
After the meeting , Qureshi stated that “ Pakistan is ready to cooperate with regional and international stakeholders for enduring and peaceful political solution to the Afghan issue…the development of whole region depends on establishment of peace in Afghanistan…India has been continuously trying to destabilize Pakistan to divert attention from its internal chaos…India is interfering in Balochistan province of Pakistan at the same time it is also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zalmay Khalilzad who , repeatedly , visited Pakistan and met country ’ s civil and military leadership admired Pakistan ’ s role in the US-Taliban peace dialogue .
It was due to Pakistan ’ s key role in Doha that on February 29 , this year , the US and the Taliban signed the historical agreement .
Afghan people have suffered from the War on Terror , security issues and political economic instability since the US invasion in 2001 .
In order to check Indian influence in Afghanistan , Pakistan played proactive role @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite monetary constraints .
Pakistan funded 400-bed Jinnah Hospital in Kabul , Nishtar Kidney Centre in Jalalabad , 200 beds Naeb Aminullah Khan Hospital in Logar , besides giving 45 ambulances to Afghan government—funded educational institutions in Afghanistan including Allama Iqbal Faculty of Arts in Kabul University , Sir Syed Post Graduate Faculty of Sciences in Nangarhar University , Liaquat Ali Khan Engineering University in Bulkh , Rehan Baba School and Rehman baba hostel in Kabul .
About 500,000 refugees-students are enrolled in various schools , colleges and universities in Pakistan—having been offered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Afghan students .
And around 35,000 Afghans have completed their graduation and Masters from Pakistan in last three decades .
Moreover , Islamabad built 75km Torkham–Jalalabad Road , additional carriage way on Torkham–Jalalabad Road , three internal roads in Jalalabad and digital radio link between Kabul and Peshawar—100 public transport buses and 7200 trucks given to Afghan government by Pakistan—held a week long free eye camp in Jalalabad and treated 4818 patients performed 357 eye surgeries , while distributed 4126 eye glasses .
Pakistan has generously hosted nearly 3-5 million Afghan refugees for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treated with respect in Pakistan .
Islamabad ’ s investment in Afghan infrastructure development is praised by Afghans as well .
Therefore , Pakistan can not afford instability in Afghanistan , as there is interrelationship of Pak-Afghan stability .
India knows that peace in Afghanistan means peace in Pakistan .
So , RAW will ensure that Afghanistan should never become a peaceful country .

In fact, New Delhi and Kabul, which are creating obstacles against a reconciliation between the Taliban and the Afghan government, are also exploiting America’s dual policy in Pakistan, China, Russia and Iran.
Regarding Indian activities in Afghanistan, the then NATO commander General McChrystal had pointed out, “Indian political and economic influence is increasing in Afghanistan…[and] is likely to exacerbate regional tensions.”
Besides, a US-Taliban peace deal would likely render Indian proxy support against Pakistan ineffective. It suits Indian designs for Afghanistan to keep simmering, without moving towards peace.
In this context, reliable sources as mentioned in Pakistan’s media on August 18, 2020 disclosed that Afghanistan-based the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has merged with its splinter groups Jamat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) and Hizb-ul-Ahrar (HuA) in Afghanistan. Their sole objective is to restart terrorist activity in Pakistan, while simultaneously sabotaging efforts to restore peace and stability in its war-ravaged Afghanistan.
Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS) and Indian RAW played a key role in their reunification. The agreement, reportedly, designated Mufti Noor Wali as the amir (Chief) of TTP, making him responsible for all planned terrorist activities inside Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Islamabad has long accused Kabul of turning a blind eye toward TTP and other terrorists who fled to Afghanistan to escape counter-terrorist operations in Pakistan.
According to the UN report of July 26, 2020, “The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and its splinter group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) continue to target Pakistan from their bases in Afghanistan…the significant presence of ISIL-K (The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Khorasan) in Afghanistan”, which the UN warns “now pursues a global agenda”.
The UN report warns of “a strong presence of ISIL-India in Kerala and Karnataka. ISIL-K considers Afghan territory a base for spreading terrorist influence across the wider region…The investigators found links between Indian nationals and terrorist attacks in Sri-Lank”.
Taking cognizance of the present drastic situation, in his article published in The Washington Post on September 26, 2020, Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned against “hasty withdrawal of foreign powers from Afghanistan” and also cautioned that “regional spoilers could use instability in the worn-torn country for their own vested interests…no people have paid a higher price for the conflict in Afghanistan than the people of Pakistan…peace and political stability in Afghanistan could not be imposed from the outside…Only an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led reconciliation process, which recognises Afghanistan’s political realities and diversity, could produce a lasting peace…Pakistan continued to be the target of attacks launched by externally enabled terrorist groups based in Afghanistan…these terrorist groups pose a clear and present danger to global peace”.
It is worth-mentioning that Foreign Minister Qureshi met Zalmay Khalilzad at Islamabad on July 1, 2020. After the meeting, Qureshi stated that “Pakistan is ready to cooperate with regional and international stakeholders for enduring and peaceful political solution to the Afghan issue…the development of whole region depends on establishment of peace in Afghanistan…India has been continuously trying to destabilize Pakistan to divert attention from its internal chaos…India is interfering in Balochistan province of Pakistan at the same time it is also adversely affecting peace efforts in Afghanistan.”
Zalmay Khalilzad who, repeatedly, visited Pakistan and met country’s civil and military leadership admired Pakistan’s role in the US-Taliban peace dialogue. It was due to Pakistan’s key role in Doha that on February 29, this year, the US and the Taliban signed the historical agreement.
Afghan people have suffered from the War on Terror, security issues and political economic instability since the US invasion in 2001. In order to check Indian influence in Afghanistan, Pakistan played proactive role in development of damaged infrastructure as well despite monetary constraints.
Pakistan funded 400-bed Jinnah Hospital in Kabul, Nishtar Kidney Centre in Jalalabad, 200 beds Naeb Aminullah Khan Hospital in Logar, besides giving 45 ambulances to Afghan government—funded educational institutions in Afghanistan including Allama Iqbal Faculty of Arts in Kabul University, Sir Syed Post Graduate Faculty of Sciences in Nangarhar University, Liaquat Ali Khan Engineering University in Bulkh, Rehan Baba School and Rehman baba hostel in Kabul.
About 500,000 refugees-students are enrolled in various schools, colleges and universities in Pakistan—having been offered 3000 fully-funded scholarship for higher education for Afghan students. And around 35,000 Afghans have completed their graduation and Masters from Pakistan in last three decades.
Moreover, Islamabad built 75km Torkham–Jalalabad Road, additional carriage way on Torkham–Jalalabad Road, three internal roads in Jalalabad and digital radio link between Kabul and Peshawar—100 public transport buses and 7200 trucks given to Afghan government by Pakistan—held a week long free eye camp in Jalalabad and treated 4818 patients performed 357 eye surgeries, while distributed 4126 eye glasses. Pakistan has generously hosted nearly 3-5 million Afghan refugees for more than 3 decades.
Afghans are treated with respect in Pakistan. Islamabad’s investment in Afghan infrastructure development is praised by Afghans as well.
Therefore, Pakistan cannot afford instability in Afghanistan, as there is interrelationship of Pak-Afghan stability. India knows that peace in Afghanistan means peace in Pakistan. So, RAW will ensure that Afghanistan should never become a peaceful country.

EXCLUSIVE: SPLC Podcast Reveals Secret Recordings from Neo-Nazi White Supremacist Group, The Base
Recordings of over 100 people, including the hate group’s leader Rinaldo Nazzaro, reveal their recruiting tactics and plots
Montgomery, Ala. — The latest episode of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)’s podcast Sounds Like Hate published today with exclusive and never-before-heard recordings from a neo-Nazi white supremacist group, The Base. Titled Baseless, this three-part story takes listeners through 83 hours of secret recordings as 100 men apply for membership into The Base, revealing the group’s recruiting tactics, violent plots and efforts to avoid law enforcement.
"Sounds Like Hate," provide insight into the recruiting tactics and terrorism ambitions of a neo-Nazi white supremacist group called The Base, whose American-born-and-raised leader Rinaldo Nazzaro is believed to be living in Russia."https://t.co/IJgsr5i9PV — Justin "Rabbit Hole J. Cole" Coleman (@DemopJ) October 15, 2020
“We want things to accelerate, we want things to get worse in the United States,” said Rinaldo Nazzaro, the leader of The Base in the recordings. “And from that point by virtue of the chaos that ensues, that would naturally present some opportunities for us … law and order starts breaking down, power vacuums start emerging…for those who are organized and ready, to take advantage of those.”
The analysis of these recordings used machine learning to find patterns in what was said. According to podcast producer and co-host Geraldine Moriba, “there’s nothing coded here. These are expressions of malcontentment with a real goal to destroy our nation. Little did I know when I agreed to investigate these stories the president would tell white supremacists to ‘stand back and stand by,’ and they would be emboldened to the point of openly pursuing their accelerationist plans.”
SPLC Senior Analyst Cassie Miller, who has also listened to some of the recordings herself and is featured in the series, adds: “That kind of violence … is very much the core strategy that defines the group. It’s something that they really don’t talk about very often on their calls because they’re worried about being implicated with incitement. The really remarkable thing about that moment in the call is that they actually go on to explain this strategy to this potential recruit.”
Founded in 2018, and made up of small terroristic cells, The Base believes society should be pushed to collapse so a white ethnostate can rise out of the ruins. It is not an organization that seeks to build popular appeal. Instead, they seek to inspire a small number of actors to commit themselves wholly to their revolutionary mindset and act on it – either by forming small, clandestine terror cells or inspiring individuals to carry out “lone actor” attacks.
Also featured in Baseless is Mike German a former FBI special agent and a current fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law School. He says, “these far-right white supremacist groups have been a lethal threat in the United States for as long as there has been a United States.

Each episode of Baseless shares portraits of the men who want to join white power groups.
ECOLOGIST: Well, a lot of our guys, we have just a pure hatred for modern civilization and industrialization. We wish to liberate ourselves, our fellow whites and animals from that system.
RINALDO NAZZARO: How does that work?
ECOLOGIST: Through economic sabotage such as bombings, arson. Rinaldo Nazzaro is the 47-year-old founder of the Base asking most of the questions on the calls.
The Ecologist is the 20-year-old founder of Green Brigade and a college student living in Oregon. Eric is a 17-year-old from Michigan who started his own white supremacy group.
