This argument makes zero sense.

"Do they not suspect that the Afghan scenario is repeating itself? The Soviet Red Army broke Afghanistan, set up gangsters in the ruins. Then the Taliban and Osama bin Laden came. The fall of the Twin Towers was the result. With the West's abandonment of Chechnya, the tragedy repeats itself."

But we are now doing precisely the opposite of what we did in Afghanistan. Back then, we helped the Muslims against the Soviet Union, and were repaid for our help with 9/11. Now, we are allying ourselves with Russia against the terrorists. That's not the same thing, very obviously.

Sure, there will be more terrorist attacks. But surely it makes more sense to fight them than to help them, now that the USSR has collapsed.

Well said. I only hope we don't get bit by the Muslims we helped in Bosnia.
