The USSR also staged a coup in 1979 and installed a loyalist. To attack the Mujahideen, they bombed villages to the ground. They also laid millions of land mines. The USSR was every bit involved in screwing up Afghanistan as the US has been. And at least the US was fighting to build the country instead of bomb it into the ground.

US trained and armed extremists who are currently in power in Afghanistan. Your country was on the side of barbarism as always. At least show minimal human decency and own the atrocities you people did. You destroyed a progressive socialist nation and turned it into hell on earth. Countless people died because of what you did. It's obscene.
