"Not until we outfitted the Mujahedin with Stingers and other weaponry. The Soviets' gunships were decimating the Afghans." Yes. And we got our ass kicked at Pearl Harbor. Does that mean the Japanese won WW2?

Yes. And we got our ass kicked at Pearl Harbor. Does that mean the Japanese won WW2? You and I both know that's a faulty comparison, and you ignored the cause-and-effect value of my statement. The primary reason the Soviets were thrown back in Afghanistan is the military assistance the mujahedin received from the U.S. and other western countries. Does that help now?
