Afghan special forces soldiers who fought alongside U.S. troops and then fled to Iran after the chaotic Western withdrawal last year are now being recruited by the Russian military to fight in Ukraine.
Russia wants to attract thousands of the former elite Afghan commandos into a “foreign legion” with offers of steady $1,500-a-month payments and promises of safe havens for themselves and their families so that they can avoid deportation home to what many assume would be death at the hands of the Taliban.
The Russian recruitment follows months of warnings from U.S. soldiers who fought with Afghan special forces that the Taliban was intent on killing them and that they might join with U.S. enemies to stay alive or out of anger with their former ally.
A GOP congressional report in August specifically warned of the danger that the Afghan commandos — trained by U.S. Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets — could end up giving up information about U.S. tactics to the Islamic State group, Iran or Russia, or even fight for them.

Ha ha US was funding and training them all the way.
Now Russia is using them, shame on you Putin.
As if JewS has any moral left. They were training IS, as well as Ukraine Nazi's and Taliban.
Mc Cain was there, the most corrupted crook ever, to prepare the invasion by mercenaries. What about underage porn addicted son of Biden? Installed in Ukraine.
As if Russia would need any intelligence about US tactics. Russia has been fighting over there for 30 years. US took over the flame, but had to leave also. Seems that those cave man are more clever than the Special forces.
Bush paid millions to the Taliban. Now the Taliban rules Afghanistan. The position of woman only got worse and US don't care, since the more stupid they will become, the easier it is, to rob the country. All they want is a Fred Flintstone society. Bombed into to a rock state.
US was good friends with the Opium traders and even protected the poppy fields.
CIA operations. Ukraine is rich in resources and a vital pipeline to EU. That's what US won't like.
Totally bankrupted pirate state US, has created another Ponzi scheme with Ukraine.
