Pakistan created a Frankenstein’s monster in Afghanistan that is now coming back to haunt it.
NAIL IT 👍
Created at Reagan’s behest - (See Charlie Wilson’s War - not completely inaccurate!) with US, Saudi and others money. Pakistanis certainly didn’t have the cash or the where with all to do it alone. Use indigenous insurgents against the Russians like they had used such against us for 70 years. Anyway that was the idea. It sort of worked, I guess. The “monster” was left on its own when Slick Willie World came online. Unfortunately thanks to Carter the “monster” infected with Islamism which no old Cold Warrior in the West understood and didn’t fit the think tank models.
