The end goal of this US game was to destroy the Soviet
Union. Osama
and company were used as
pawns to draw the Soviets into a trap.
By early 1979, Carter was financing, arming and training
the mujahideen.
Then for at least six months, Afghanistan’s PDP government
begged their Soviet
allies to rescue them. When -- very reluctantly – in December 1979, Soviets
troops were moved into Afghanistan, the world denounced it as an invasion.
To justify this game of trickery, Brzezinski later said:
“What is most important … the Taliban or the collapse of
the Soviet empire?
Some stirred-up Muslims or … the end of the cold war?”
