If someone invaded your country would you fight back?

You should really start to pay attention to history lessons. Learn about Britain's role in what you called 'Afghan mess' in XIX century, and in more recent times US role in Afghan War 1979-1989. Who funded Mujahideen and supplied them with weapon? Why in return it caused high death rates among Afghani people more rather than Soviet forces? When and how exactly Taliban was formed? Who was behind it and who's behind it now (here conspiracy theories start, but everything before that are well-known facts). Madame History is ironic b***h =)

So shall we continue our mutual accusations, or maybe we stop here? I still gonna win =)

It's quite simple.

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

A Soviet puppet took control.

The US did not want Afghanistan going Communist.

The US supplied the warlords.

The US "won" the war and the USSR retreated.

The warlords banded together to defeat the Afghan Communists.

The warlords formed the Taliban.

The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan

The US invaded in 2001 and removed the Taliban from power.

 

Therefore, the situation was started by the Soviet Union.
