@lonewolfstallone The Russians were not in Afghanistan to conquer it. The Soviet Union had existed next door to the country for more than 60 years without any kind of invasion. It was only when the United States intervened in Afghanistan to replace a government friendly to Moscow with one militantly anti-communist that the Russians invaded to do battle with the US-supported Islamic jihadists; precisely what the United States would have done to prevent a communist government in Canada or Mexico.

@robsargent4 Communism replaces religious BS with ideological BS. Same repression, different day, whatever.

Although communism in Afghanistan is a bit better than the Taliban rule, it had a lot of human rights abuse just like any communist country like Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge before it. Between 1979 and 1989, Soviet troops and Afghan communists executed over 100,000 political prisoners just because they complain about conditions, sympathy for Muj, etc.

@robsargent4 Also if you read the book by George Crile III, it describes Wilson as a lobbyist for Pakistan following his retirement from Congress. This was years after the war ended. He had lobbied hard to get help into Afghanistan by proposing a $4 million relief package that was tossed aside by the U.S. and Pakistan government.

If they let Wilson helped rebuild Afghanistan instead of letting Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, do what they want the twin towers in NY would have been still standing.

@publicmario17 Yes, most forms of Communism are repressive, & the Soviets certainly were that, but in the grand scheme of things what would've happened? Well, I suppose, there's not much point wondering, because what happened is what we're stuck with - we've all just got to lump it unfortunately.
