For instance, a Soviet infantry division has about 10,000 troops while an American infantry division has 15,000, in 1980. Could also include all support personnel and not combat troops.

Never recalled Ahmad Shah Massound or Gulbuddin Hekmatyar telling the West that if massive support were to be reduced, the anti-Moscow war effort would quickly collapse.

We defeated the Soviet Union, but we remember that the communist regime was Afghan too. We killed each other. Then after the Soviet withdrawal, the war continued and Mujahedeen started civil war among themselves. Hundred thousands of people were killed. Then Taliban took the power and started the mass massacre of civilians and minorities. Then the USA came in but still the bloodshed continued. Then the war went on and then the Taliban regained the power. Although, still the war goes on. I hope this nightmare come to an end one day.

Actually, the truth about the Taliban and the blood shed in Afghanistan is the fact is there was always bloodshed long before the US arrived. Long before the Americans arrived in Afghanistan, there was already a civil war going on. They say the Taliban had full control, and literally still was large in charge by the truth was no they were losing territory they even had split their factions to where they were fighting each other. What led to the US involvement was the fact that the Taliban were sheltering Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda had its training camps there where they were literally preaching death to America, along with many other kinds of jihad world rhetoric. Osama bin Laden kept using Afghanistan as a freaking sheltering hide out from the US and its allies. After 9/11, the attacks were done by these Al-Qaeda operatives that came fully trained from Afghanistan. The problem was the Taliban. The US asked the Taliban to hand over all the Al-Qaeda remnants, especially Osama bin Laden. If they didn’t follow the demands, we would go in with fall on invasion. Mullah Omar, that one eyed monster, literally refused, saying Osama bin Laden is our guest we won’t have them over. So the Taliban literally got stupid around that time. Not gonna lie, but the Taliban they are the definition of the caveman that are trying so hard to remake the Flintstone, but surprisingly enough it’s not really working too well. The reason the Taliban got lucky to win this war was because if you’ve read history while it’s true, America was there, but our forces was small. Every coalition force their had a smaller contingence. The reality was our country. America was distracted with another war. The Iraq war I still to this day and furious that we focus so much tension on Iraq. We forgot we were still in Afghanistan. The American people forgot we were still in Afghanistan. It was called the forgotten war for nearly a decade. By the time it’s 2010 Obama talks about sending more and more troops there but that’s the finish the job which apparently he left further undone. George Bush distracted America with Iraq. Obama barely finish the job. Now Trump had the decency to finish it but I feel like he knew it was done from the start. But when Biden took office instead of following trumps idea to literally make sure we get our billion dollars worth of equipment along with all those who helped us in the past out. He just literally pulls out by literally giving the Taliban the advantage. The withdrawal was so bad like I have never seen a withdrawal this bad in my life. He says the Afghan government can handle the situation. Yeah right what an idiot he screwed us over the Taliban would’ve been back in the caves if it wasn’t for Joe Biden, Donald Trump at least would’ve kicked their ass back to where they belong. And as for your Afghan flag I’m sorry to say it, but that’s the remnants of the Afghan government pal. Good thing there’s no Taliban flag on social media also not gonna lie, but out of it all what I was more disgusted with it was Kamala Harris, and all her women’s rights activism yet she ignored all the women who are pleading for help. When are the girls going to school in Afghanistan? I guess they’re never going to go that’s my point you know the whole story of the Taliban started when I was involving two Afghan girls were being held by mujahedin warlord. They went to go save the girls killed the guy. That was the beginning of how they started. They were like a champion to women, but then it turned out they revealed they were never a champion for women’s rights. They really wanted to keep women at home didn’t want them working. So at the very least, I wouldn’t wanna back a bunch of sexist monsters who don’t believe in any of that. It’s been two years already and they haven’t even been allowed to work, or even go to school. It’s just disgusting. Quite frankly. I wasn’t surprised that the men over there don’t ever want their women doing anything. I don’t think I would’ve been surprised to hear from US soldiers that whenever they went to villages brought books and supplies the next time they would come back those books and supplies would be destroyed. They were supposed to be for the girls. The problem is we rely too much on the Afghan men to try and rebuild Afghanistan. Hearts and minds yeah, that went towards the men of Afghanistan. Those men didn’t want change they wanted to stay in the stone ages.

Then fkn US through CIA started meddling with the situation there is even a documented message that said "Make Afghanistan a Vietnam for Soviets at all costs" so CIA started their ploy to bring Taliban to rise of terror, supply it with everything they could just to take down Soviets and the pro-soviet government (like CIA did over half of the world in 60´s and 70´s). They managed to do that, but also created a strong Taliban and thus created a worldwide threat. basically with this actions CIA made foundations for WTC terrorist attack... similar to ISIS in these times, US supported ISIS when they were just a bunch of rebels to defeat Syrian Government and have strong presence in Syria and Iraq...
