Ard begins anti-american counter propaganda!!

Is the Russian military still suffering from huge levels of corruption and alcoholism?

Your wrong about the taliban and bin Laden. The Taliban did not exist in the 80s and did not fight the ussr.

Good America is evil

Go to Wikipedia, Taliban and history section

You mean this bit?

In 1991, the Taliban (a movement originating from Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-run religious schools for Afghan refugees in Pakistan) also developed in Afghanistan as a politico-religious force.[65] Mullah Omar started his movement with fewer than 50 armed madrassah students in his hometown of Kandahar.[65] The most often-repeated story and the Taliban's own story of how Mullah Omar first mobilized his followers is that in the spring of 1994, neighbors in Singesar told him that the local governor had abducted two teenage girls, shaved their heads, and taken them to a camp where they were raped. 30 Taliban (with only 16 rifles) freed the girls, and hanged the governor from the barrel of a tank. Later that year, two militia commanders killed civilians while fighting for the right to sodomize a young boy. The Taliban freed him.[65][66]

Or perhaps this bit?

The Taliban's first major military activity was in 1994, when they marched northward from Maiwand and captured Kandahar City and the surrounding provinces, losing only a few dozen men

Given that the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1988, I'm struggling to see how the Taliban fought the USSR? Whilst there was some overlap in fighters and leaders the Taliban was very different from the Mujhadeen.

The US also never funded Bin Laden. Bin Laden vastly over estimated his own role in the fight against the USSR. The group he formed was made up of Arabs and was generally disparaged by the Mujhadeen.

it was the second paragraph, read the first paragraph under the name "the Beginning".

Plus have a look at Operation Cyclone

The origins of al-Qaeda as a network inspiring terrorism around the world and training operatives can be traced to the Soviet War in Afghanistan(December 1979 – February 1989).^[28] The US viewed the conflict in Afghanistan, with the Afghan Marxists and allied Soviet troops on one side and the native Afghan mujahideen, some of whom were radical Islamic militants, on the other, as a blatant case of Soviet expansionism and aggression. A CIA program called Operation Cyclone channeled funds through Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency to the Afghan Mujahideen who were fighting the Soviet occupation

Look to be perfectly honest if you actually want to understand this conflict I suggest you stop using Wikipedia. It's good for an overview but you are treating it as the ultimate authority. If you actually want to understand the topic I'd recommend reading Afghansty and The Looming Tower. That way you may actually be able to grasp events more firmly than the US created al qaeda/ funded the Taliban.

It is one of the sources of information that I use. US funded the Taliban (mujaheddin) because of the "Soviet threat" in Afghanistan.
