By the time the Soviet forces withdrew in 1989, Pakistan was crawling with battle-hardened jihadis and saddled with an infrastructure of Islamist fundamentalism that had taken on a life of its own.

We marched into Mesopotamia, exactly as predicted in jihadi prophesies.

The fighting in the Donbass region offers them training, combat experience, international contacts and a sense of themselves as warriors, a theater reminiscent of Syria or Afghanistan for jihadis.

We’ve been so laser-focused on jihadis for 20 years that we basically ignored this threat that has grown on our own soil.
