The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

The Taliban has demonstrated its commitment to regional stability by actively combating IS-K and maintaining order in Afghanistan since taking control. The group's pragmatic approach to governance and willingness to engage in diplomatic relations makes it a potentially valuable partner in counterterrorism efforts.

Anti-Russia narrative

The Taliban continues to enforce extreme interpretations of Islamic law, including banning women from education, restricting social interactions, and carrying out public executions. Their human rights violations and failure to meet international commitments on governance make them an unreliable partner for the international community.
