STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE, Anything America did Russia did the same.
Exactly what kinds of things did they do?
Afghan literacy rate at that time was a mere 12%. Soviets were behind revolutionizing the country. Literacy in the Soviet Union was 99%, an education system better than the one they have here today.
The cowardly Amerikan murderers are beaten .
That is why US deaths are growing, Afghans are fighting back. US has failed. When you start killing civilians by the thousands, the whole population turns against you.
The War is Lost. America is a war criminal.
They will answer, "US was helping the Afghans fight off the USSR invaders"
But if you watch this CNN docu, the CIA started supplying arms and training to the Jihadists/Mujahideen in July 1979. The USSR invaded Dec 1979.
This means that Soviets invaded cuz US was going to overthrow the Afghan govt by arming the rebels!
It was the US that was being covert. US was supporting the military dictator Gen. Zia. who was supporting anti-Afghan rebels with bases inside Pakistan guarded by the Pakistani Army. - Washington Post 2 Feb 1979 Peter Niesewand.
US threatened USSR interests
US was supporting the brutal dictatorship of the Shah of Iran in the 70's.
"CIA and Iran's SAVAK were both involved in attempts by Islamic Fundamentalist groups to overthrow Afghan PM Daoud in 1973-74" - Peter Harclerode book FIGHTING DIRTY
It takes 2 to tango. US just as guilty as USSR as per history.
Every time I talk about US crimes they bring out the whole 'the Soviets were worse' so its ok, well no its not.
It was always exaggerated to be able to subjugate various countries worldwide and prevent them from taking steps for their own people and to develop. Or the unconditional support to the criminal regime of Israel committing crimes against humanity that the US are directly responsible for.
Constant raids, massacre of civilians, indefinite detentions ,etc.. In this area those crimes are incomparably worse than any of the other parties.
All this talk about Iran , China ,etc... Well the US is no better and in fact they are much more aggressive and they have been for a very long time.
