Afghans have had people fucking their shit up for like 4 generations now … they don’t really know anything else, pretty sure they were relatively normal prior to the US and USSR fuckery.
I mean, you could say the same thing about Europe … but the current state of things in Afghanistan is definitely a result of the last 50 odd years of global super powers meddling.
No, no, you don’t understand. Afghanistan has been the place where external empires compete with each other for much longer than that. Nobody ever really succeeds there.
CIA funded islamists but did not create them. They gained broad popular support after Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when initial Afghani communist government imploded and USSR took control and installed their own puppet.

Wasn’t the islamist fuckery a result of CIA fuckery attempting to quash a moderate socialist government?
Indonesia was a bloodbath helped along by the CIA and the British

This is right. It’s impossible to say how much harm this organization has done to people over the world.
