Biden's Failing Afghanistan Withdrawl

[Burgermeister]

The CIA recruited heavily in Yemen for fighters to go to Afghanistan. They funded the fight thru the Saudis for the most part. I don't remember them having any training camps.

You probably weren't in on the briefings. Not heavily publicized.

This will help. Google Operation Cyclone.

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, prior to and during the military intervention by the USSR in support of its client, the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The mujahideen were also supported by Britain's MI6, who conducted separate covert actions. The …

Communists under the leadership of Nur Muhammad Taraki seized power in Afghanistan on 27 April 1978. The new regime—which was divided between Taraki's extremist Khalq faction and the more moderate Parcham—signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union in December of that year. Taraki's efforts to improve secular education and redistribute land were accompanied by mass executions.

Some additional context regarding training - The United States and the Mujahideen | History of Western Civilization II

Operation Cyclone was one of the longest and most expensive covert CIA operations ever undertaken. More than $20 billion in U.S. funds was funneled into the country to train and arm Afghan resistance groups.

President Reagan greatly expanded the program as part of the Reagan Doctrine of aiding anti-Soviet resistance movements abroad. To execute this policy, Reagan deployed CIA Special Activities Division paramilitary officers to equip the mujihadeen forces against the Soviet Army. Although the CIA and Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson received the most attention for their roles, the key architect of the strategy was Michael G. Vickers, a young CIA paramilitary officer working for Gust Avrakotos, the CIA’s regional head who had a close relationship with Wilson. Vicker’s strategy was to use a broad mix of weapons, tactics, logistics, and training programs to enhance the rebels’ ability to fight a guerrilla war against the Soviets. Reagan’s program assisted in ending the Soviet’s occupation in Afghanistan.

And your blob paying a porn star for sex is exempt? Really?

Again; you're as delusional as you are dishonest.

 

[Desperado]

Bottom line is this is all Charlie Wilson's fault! He was no hero

No one said he was exempt

Trump has experienced much criticism over that

and it has been embarrassing to his family

There are people that are trying to quell a revolution taking us into Communism. Sometimes the ones you do not expect show up to try to thwart it. If Trump is true to what he spouts, he is one of them. But the Progs know as they have taken control of a good amount of our nation's direction by propaganda must always force the "Democracy" agenda. Always "Democracy"! And that gives them the green light to do what they want. The agenda then goes to the other side being fascists as "Democracy" may be infringed. That is why the voting issue is a big one. You have been stealing elections for years and decades. We are now no better then the fascism/communism tactics that other nations have faced around the world.
