He could've been maybe useful if America was in Afghanistan to let's say give anti-aircraft missiles to the Taliban (he even used to be based in the UAE, just as their political leadership more recently). But the Americans in the entire last year in Afghanistan just droned Zawahiri in Haqqani's safehouse (Haqq obviously lured him in and ratted him out so Al-Qaeda would become Haqqaeda).
Who else remains now, (H)AQ worldwide generally, or their cells in the West? Surely not the Islamic State? ("An organisation banned in the Russian Federation", as all their media must always note with this exact line whenever they mention it.) There's not even really a serious IRA around, not to mention the likes of the Red Brigades or the Red Army Faction anymore, long completely gone, and Antifa are only basic rioters, and in any such case the West can play this game too and funnel weapons directly to the rebels and terrorists inside Russia through Russia's long borders with the -stans (and better weapons).
Even the FARC that got him busted have meanwhile disarmed themselves. And in revenge for something obviously a state operation and let's say arming the Haitian gang alliance, or the Mexican cannibal cartels, America could very easily just end some Russian shithole country puppet regimes, like the glorious socialist state of Venezuela that's been allowed to exist for so long for no reason while falling apart completely on their own despite the oil riches.
Lol, how?
