if i have my facts correctly, taliban as a whole was funded by us to overpower the then russian influenced govt.
And ironically one of the more potent weapons the Taliban had against the US was US Stinger surface-to-air missiles.
But it was not just a Russian influenced govt, it was a straight Soviet invasion, so basically a full role reversal.
while writing, i was confused about this. was it a russian puppet state that was established, or like directly reporting to moscow. so i thought russia influenced was a safer bet.
