I don't get your point?

I am looking at the situation as it existed until right now, and from a sociological, and political and humanitarian perspective.

My opinions are simply my analysis based on what I think would have been best for us, them and the world.

And other informed folks agree with me. And some have pretty good credentials.

And if one wants to disagree, they also have to be willing to recognize that the women will be beaten and killed en masse, the children will face mass starvation, and an entire country will live a life of terror; and wiling to say:" I don't care, it was the only way"!.

And to say "Nothing" could be done is base on what exactly?

I can think of a zillion things that could have been done, but Biden, knowing this would happen, didn't even try a little bit!

koan, just look at their political history in the Wikipedia article and then show us which regime was not affiliated with the Cold War politics during the 1973 to 1989 window.
- 1973 – Mohammed Daoud Khan, Prime Minister and a member of the royal family, seizes power while King Mohammad Zahir Shah is visiting Italy.
- 1978 – Daoud Khan and his family are assassinated during the Saur Revolution, the communist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) seizes power.
- 1979 – Nur Muhammad Taraki, General Secretary of PDPA, is assassinated and replaced by Hafizullah Amin. Amin is then assassinated and the Soviet Union invades. Babrak Karmal is installed as the new leader.
- 1987 – PDPA General Secretary and President Mohammad Najibullah replaces Karmal and the country begins to see some stability.
- 1989 – Soviet army withdraws all troops from the country. The U.S. embassy is closed.
