biggest bunch of rambling psychobabble in THE HISTORY OF HISTORY.

“The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia.”

This is simply not true. The Soviet Union ventured into Afghanistan as part of its effort to prop up communism abroad, not because terrorists were striking the Soviet homeland.

“The most shameless Soviet propagandist never claimed that Afghan terrorists were attacking Russia,” said Barnett Rubin, an Afghanistan expert at New York University. “You can read all Soviet media in the 1980s and never find anything this ridiculous.”

There was ultimately a problem with extremism in Afghanistan, but it developed largely after the USSR left, and the mujahideen groups that sprang up to fight the Soviets devolved into the Taliban.

Oops. My bad. When Seven speaks of today's head scratcher, my first thought is his problem guessing whether to cross the intersection (to get over to the USA side) on the green OR red light.

If someone were to close their eyes and listen to this blob; they would think the guy speaking was the father from My Big Fat Greek Wedding trying to tie every word in English to some Greek origin. This could have been the most bizarre thing that happened yesterday out of the White House. The most bizarre was the poster citing the HBO Series Game of Thrones or something that the blob apparently commissioned.

I would imagine the people sitting around this dope are busy fantasizing on the quickest way to get fired.

Yeah, what the heck. Of course, the U.S., via Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, made sure Afghanistan was flooded with modern weaponry, and groups also propped up with the most mouth-breathing version of Islam. That is why these groups were the best equipped, best armed, best trained, and took over after the USSR left. And that's how Carter / Brzezinski / Reagan drowned Afghanistan in four decades of war and civil war, along with turning the country belligerently fundamentalist. Whoever is surprised at the Trumpy's invincible ignorance has but himself to blame for failing to pick up on the 946 prior clues. The fact-checker's own running roughshod over the facts is inexcusable.
