No. The fight (later televised on U.S. stations) that took place between gov’t officials was primarily between Commies and Neo-Nazis - all in gov’t positions.
So why do you and others persist in thinking that the U.S. has a dog in this hunt?
Jim Robinson, I, tcrlaf, little jeremiah and others here realize that we need to stay out of this.
Just because Obama was embarrased over Assad doesn’t mean that Putin must be humbled in Ukraine. Arming Syrian rebels when Obama was thinking about it (2 years too late) would be just as dumb as getting involved in Ukraine now. And we saw how getting involved in Afghanistan to humble the USSR came back, quite sadly and quite unfortunately, to bite us in later.
Who is your buddy Vatnik? LOL.
What happened in Afghanistan (much simplified) is that long after the Russians were driven out, the legit Afghan gov’t had pretty much defeated the Taliban, was working to re-instill democracy, etc. Unfortunately, freakin’ Clinton was asleep at the wheel or busy with women under his desk, and did not do anything about Pakistan and others building it (the Taliban) back up. Pakistan even supplied many fighters to the Taliban, some right out of the Pakistani army...
