As I understand it, America was one of the main reasons for the Soviet defeat in Afganistan.

I'm sure you're saying that tongue-in-cheek since without the US aid, especially the Stingers, the Soviets would have prevailed.

If we're going to be defeated why is he the one that's a fugitive?

The Stinger missiles really made things hellish for the Soviets. No longer could they just fly their helicopter gunships with impunity. The fact that the Soviets also decided to stay and try to rule also messed things up. It is easier to win a war and go home than it is to fight one and stay. Far easier.

True, but the intent of the soviets was to add another country to their orbit. Would the regime they set up have lasted if they declared victory and left?

"a fugitive Afghan warlord "
They tend to say things to try to get revenge when they are otherwise powerless. The Libtards will treat him like a Saint and imbibe every excremental word he utters a 'Truth' and significant.
Now if he called the US invasion the best thing that ever happened to Afghanistan then he would be ignored as if he never existed.
To: Flavius
Everyone knows that the American aggressors are faced with defeat in every part of the country, Hekmatyar said. They were unable to achieve their goals by bombing innocent Afghans, their villages and homes. They are preparing to leave like the Soviet troops. In the meantime, Afghani women attend schools built by Americans, kids in Kabul fly their kites in relative peace and the Taliban die in droves along the Pakistani frontier with trash bags for boots.
