Sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

Is it because one terrorist group has been slaughtering all the other terrorists? Maybe that makes them ok in Putin’s eyes?

TL;DW: Now that the Taliban actually has the responsibility of holding a country together, they're no longer jihadist enough to satisfy the bloodlust of the other terrorist groups in the area, so they're now being attacked as traitors to the cause. Even worse for the people of the nation, these groups have begun attacking other nations like Russia to force another incursion into Afghanistan to topple the Taliban and leave a power vacuum so the more extreme groups can take over.
