All true, but you rarely find an article that mentions the whole story in simple terms, instead of artifacts.
- acqq 11y agoThe actual simple terms would be too inconvenient to state them directly and certainly not many people would be prepared to even consider the story: For example starting with this ("Remembering 1960s Afghanistan"): http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2013/01/28/podlich-afghanistan-1960s-photos/5846/ http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2013/01/28/podlich-afgh... and then this ("Zbigniew Brzezinski Taliban Pakistan Afghanistan pep talk 1979"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvO3qAlyTg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvO3qAlyTg Zbigniew Brzezinski was the National Security Advisor to the US President Jimmy Carter at that time. http://www.aljazeera.com/archive/2003/04/2008410113842420760.html http://www.aljazeera.com/archive/2003/04/2008410113842420760... "When former US National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski bragged about prompting the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan so that it could get its "Vietnam" he was not making an empty boast." "Brzezinski said he convinced Carter to sign the first directive for secret aid to opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul on July 3, 1979 in an effort to goad the Red Army into invading, in a 1998 interview."
