We helped both, don't forget that. And ... Afghanistan didn't turn out so well after either, especially when we ignored them after, when they were a nation of young orphans. Be careful what you wish for. Of course Russia is completely in the wrong. But just like everything we do ...Russia threw a lot of untrained soldiers into the battlefield. This is also the same Russia that got ran out of Afghanistan at the height of their military might when they was the USSR. Maybe they just arent as "mighty" as we thought.
We helped cause it. And we will help f' it up after too. Sorry, but that's just truth ... history as my witness.
