“Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA”

That’s a lie.

There were TWO distinct mujahedeen groups fighting the Russians in Afghanistan.

There was the Arab mujahedeen, which was equipped and funded by Iran, and the Arab states.... THIS was the group that bin laden was part of. This group is what later became the taliban and al qaida.

The group that was funded, equipped, and trained by the West was the Afghan Mujahedeen. This group later became the Northern Alliance.

Both mujahedeen groups fought each other almost as much as they fought the soviets.

And al qaida means The Base, NOT “The Database”🙄

“That’s a lie.”


I am going with facts reported by a former Foreign Secretary of a major NATO ally over the opinion of an anonymous social media contributor.

In a world where the US intelligence community reported the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, the biggest challenge is identifying information sources you can trust.
The CIA is not one of them.
But that’s just me.
