Gen. John Nicholson, the commander of the US operation in Afghanistan, today claimed that ISIS is attempting to establish a “non-Afghan” caliphate within Afghanistan, and claiming it is the complete antithesis of Afghan culture.
Nicholson insisted this caliphate would be the “Khorasan caliphate,” and said that the ISIS force there was primarily made of Uzbeks, along with some members of the Pakistani Taliban. He said actual Afghans totally and exclusively reject the group.
This is a dramatic shift from the previous narrative artound Afghan ISIS, which was that the group was mostly just re-branded Afghan Taliban defectors trying to get enhanced credibility by selling themselves as part of the main ISIS movement.
Either way, a caliphate is by definition meant to be a singular government covering the Muslim world, and ISIS already declared a caliphate within Iraq and Syria. It would make no sense, then, for them to declare a second caliphate, which by extension would have a second caliph, at the same time.

Just think if the United States of America had in relation to Charlie Wilsons War not funded the Mujahadeen against the Afghanistan Government of the day and paid for regime change there using the Taliban and Al Qaeda, it is highly probable that little girls could go to school in Afghanistan and women could wear jeans in the streets of Kabul as they did back then! In syria the United States again is using Al Nusra front an Al Qaeda offshoot which gave the world ISIS, America wants the Syrian Women to have to wear Burkas,because this is what WILL happen if their picked and trained insurgents win!
When one considers that Damascus, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Cairo are the “must” cities of ISIL it seems unlikely that Kabul is of much interest to the caliph.
If the U.S. Cannot even defeat ISIS this past three years, when all they have is Toyota jeeps, AK47’s, long knives, black hoods and ISIS flags……how are we going to defeat Russia, or China or Iran? I mean, you cannot have it both ways. If the U.S. And NATO is any kind of a credible threat to Russia than they should be able to obliterate ISIS is twenty minutes.
Two and two? Common sense! Now ask yourself if any of this makes any sense, if it even has the ring of truth? How badly do you have to be lied to?? How obvious does it have to be?????
