A thought. Seems to be generally accepted the Taliban are badguys.
And they flourished in Afghanistan.
Now, the USSR wouldn't tolerate anyone bucking their system. The Taliban wouldn't have had a chance in a Soviet controlled country.
Why didn't the US support the Russian invasion of Afghanistan?
Not saying the US should have, just a question that occurred to me. I'm sure there's a very good reason, but obviously the Taliban was more a threat than the Soviets.
