Sadly, that truth is hidden from Americans; how Brzezinski and Carter supported extreme Anti-Russian elements, which became Taliban, how the same "gentlemen" more or less forced The Soviet Union into a reluctant war in Afghanistan (which had the wanted effect of toppling the Soviet Union) Brzezinski said they wanted "to draw the Russian's into the Afghan trap". No, nobody talks of this anymore, just as nobody talks of Cuba before the revolution, the conditions for ordinary Cubans, and how the Trade Embargo effectively destroyed any chance of the revolution succeeding, so that the US can now sit and laugh at the sideline and say"there's communism for you; it doesn't work". But who cares..

Thanks for getting History straight! :)

You don't even have to look much further than the Bond film "The Living Daylights" to see the way in which Jihadists (for lack of a more precise word) with anti- Russian sentiments/ the Taliban were being romanticized by the western powers in the 80's. It's all very Lawrence of Arabia-esque. Now it's all turned around and bitten us in the a*s and we're eating our words.

Afganistan was always full of murderers since many centurys back

Yup. And that is terrifying.
