I know your point, but we were correct to fight the Soviet Union all over the globe, including Afghanistan.
Joining them as allies to enable Soviet strategic goals as was suggested, is just idiocy.
Reagan was right, he was fighting the Soviet Union and Afghanistan was an important part of Reagan’s correct strategy.
Agreed. But once the Soviet Union collapsed, new alliances could have been formed but for the fact the Russians hated/still hate us as much as back in the Soviet days.
