“If you are not aware of it, you should read about the history of this, and how its been openly admitted that Brzezinski intentionally created a scenario where the USSR would feel it didn’t have a choice but to go into Afghanistan.”

Soviet propagandists and apologists for Russian genocide against the Afghans?

B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, essentially: “We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war." Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war that was unsustainable for the regime , a conflict that bought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire. ...
