Choreography.

In the following article, I would like to lay out why, with further and deeper review of the evidence, I believe that the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan, American support for the Mujahideen, and the Afghan conflict was not a clever trap set by Americans to bankrupt the Soviet Union, but rather collusion and choreography on the world stage in order to foster jihad to further Western aims, as well as to carve up the region and exploit resources.

I liken understanding this to looking at one of those images on the back of a cereal box.
You place your eyes close to the box, and back away, as the image comes into focus.
It's impossible to see if you're looking at it out of context.

Let's start here:

Brzezinski admitted in 1998 that US aid first went to the Mujahideen in July of 1979, or before the Soviets invaded. Not after. What Brzezinski doesn't seem to want to admit is that this pretext set the stage for the brutal conflict that would eventually leave Afghanistan with a tribal government and a newly equipped army led by Osama Bin Laden, which could later be used as a patsy to further Western aims later on.

I'll tell you what I believe happened.
I believe that the US fully supported a Soviet intervention in Afghan politics by supporting a military coup that would bring a leftist regime to power whose policies were considered "godless" by many in Afghanistan.

The Soviets sent in advisors to "advance socialism" in the nation. Some reforms, such as land redistribution and women's literacy classes were on the agenda.

These reforms, unsurprisingly, triggered and allergic reaction in the countryside, as mullahs thought that their authority was being undermined. Calls for jihad, unsurprisingly, went out across the Islamic world.

Papers were signed, and in July of 1979, the first American aid to the Mujahideen in the form of communications equipment. Roughly $20 billion in total would be funneled in through Pakistani intelligence, as well as deadly weapons like the Stinger Missile.

The government in Kabul asks the Soviets for assistance while Afghan President Turaki's Prime Minister Amin pushes ahead with these reforms. Amin initiated a crackdown on opposition, having enemies rounded up and executed.

Turaki went to Moscow, to discuss how to create peace, and logically keep his power.
When in Moscow, I believe that actions ensued that led, ironically, to the deposition of Turaki and not Amin. Action indicated that Amin should go, so that losses could be cut, allergenic reforms slowed, and power retained.

These plans against Amin were "leaked out" of the Soviet Union, and when Turaki returned to Kabul, Amin had him arrested and executed.

I mean, it seemed that Turaki was getting in the way, and that Amin was being handled by Soviet intelligence. What are the chances of something like that happening accidentally?

I mean, if you want a well-funded and trained terrorist army to prevail, peace is no good, right?
As a matter of fact, the Soviets even seemed to throw out the bit of disinformation that Amin was a product of the CIA, distracting from the connections that they themselves had developed.

The Soviets finally invaded in December of 1979, and the conflict would drag on until 1989, after some $20 billion was funneled indirectly to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan.

The communist government would fall, and the stage was set for the 9/11 attacks, the US war in Afghanistan, linked to the war in Iraq, the creation of the Islamic State, and a conflict in Syria.

Evidence suggests that the US and the Soviet Union/Russia have been planning on carving up the region and exploiting resources, all reaching back to at least the 1950's.

Fostering and exploiting jihad for Western aims is one logical way to accomplish these aims.

Look at the cereal box and think about it.
It's all connected.
