The Taliban was a part of the Mujahideen.
I know the US govt is incapable of thinking about the consequences of their actions, but you can try to do better.
Jesus fucking Christ.
The Taliban that was formed primary out of Pashtun religious students from Pakistan who were largely too young to have participated in the anti-Soviet Mujahideen? The Taliban that was formed in 1994? Half a decade after the Soviet invasion was over?
Tell me more about how the Taliban are consequences of not being genocided by the Soviets.
Americans rarely know the history of what they're fucking talking about, but you can do better than most of my countrymen.
Or maybe you can't, and this is the best you'll ever do.
