Isn't that kind of enough proof that it wasn't the right strategy?

this kind of sidesteps the moral dimension of the Soviets were there to help a project to improve people's lives and the US was there to grow opium and pretend to revenge 9/11

I'm having a conversation with comrades here. Obviously if I were having a conversation with a lib I'd make a point to spend some minutes talking about the cold war, how it's ultimately the US fault funding and arming radical militias in the area, and how if Afghanistan had been in the area of control of the Soviet Union it would be similar to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in terms of development and human rights nowadays.
