Politico: U.S. presses Pakistan as Afghan crisis spirals, leaked docs show
Pakistan’s ambassador questioned reports of Taliban reprisals as U.S. diplomats struggle with refugee arrivals.
The Biden administration is quietly pressing Pakistan to cooperate on fighting terrorist groups such as ISIS-K and Al Qaeda in the wake of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
In response, Pakistan — long accused by U.S. officials of aiding the Afghan Taliban — has hinted that Islamabad deserves more public recognition of its role in helping people now fleeing Afghanistan, even as it has downplayed fears of what Taliban rule of the country could mean.

WNU Editor: In the past few days Russian media (which I follow) has detailed the critical role that Pakistan has played in making sure the Taliban were successful in their military campaign to seize Afghanistan this summer. That is why I see U.S. efforts to work with Pakistan to address the crisis in Afghanistan is a waste of time. It is also telling that President Joe Biden has not spoken yet with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.
On a final note. Since the fall of Kabul the leaks that are now coming out of the US State Department, Pentagon, and the intelligence community have been a flood.
