The US objected, but the US-backed Kabul government is going ahead anyway While the exact date hasn’t been set yet, Afghan and Russian officials have confirmed that they will be co-chairing a series of new talks with the Taliban in Moscow. The officials say the focus now is on content, with the date to be settled afterward. The Russian government had initially organized a multi-national conference for Afghanistan that was to be held earlier in September, but agreed to cancel it after talks with the Afghan government. Under the terms of an agreement, it would be put off to a future date. Afghan officials have largely rejected multi-national talks, believing they need to make talks with the Taliban one-on-one to avoid being sidelined by other nations. This in particular has been an objection for US talks with the Taliban, which have happened outside of the Afghan government’s purview. The US objected to Russia trying to organize such talks in general, but it seems like the Afghan government has been convinced that they can use the Moscow invite as an opportunity to kick-start serious talks with the Taliban, who had already agreed to attend Moscow talks.

It certainly wasn't a good idea for the deep state and its US/NATO puppets to piss off Russia.
Putin obviously has absolutely no idea how to run a deep-state, military style world empire. What a buffoon!
Putin was a KGB analyst during the Soviet times. Certainly he has climbed the stairs of success. As far as him not knowing what the deep state is, all you need to do is look at his government service record. That will tell the tale. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
It's curious to me that 1) the Taliban has agreed to peace talks & 2) they did so before the Afghan gov did.

They've been "feeling the heat" since 2002, so no, that's not it. Perhaps, not unlike Assad, they are not what western MSM has made them out to be. Hard to consider that possibility, but maybe they are bad but not THAT bad.
Maybe Taliban wary of Syria terrorists coming in to set up camp.
