Quote:Trump Stuns With Foreign Policy Comments at Cabinet Meeting: Historians are 'Weeping'
by Josh Feldman | Jan 2nd, 2019, 4:00 pm
President Donald Trump stunned many this afternoon with foreign policy comments during his lengthy Cabinet meeting, specifically concerning the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
“Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan. Russia,” Trump said. “So you take a look at other countries––Pakistan is there. They should be fighting. But Russia should be fighting. The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. The problem is it was a tough fight.”

Worse yet, even back in the day, the Soviets didn't make the argument that the USSR needed to fight terrorism by going into AFG. Trump basically made that part up. The Sovs argued that it was to stop "counterrevolution" and "American imperialists" and all that crap. /1

Trump knows nothing re the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Instead, he mouths/embraces *Soviet* disinformation that Moscow invaded Afghanistan to quell terrorism against the USSR. No-it invaded to protect a client communist government that had seized power in a coup. #UsefulIdiot https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1080549357232025601 …
