So, now we know why Donald Trump floated the utterly ridiculous suggestion, completely out of the wild blue yonder at a cabinet meeting yesterday, that the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 because terrorists were infiltrating Russia through it... Vladimir Putin's party has recently sponsored a resolution which they say "justifies" the invasion of Afghanistan to fight terrorism. No terrorist attack within the substantial borders of the countries forming the former Soviet Union (including Russia) was cited in this resolution. Former Soviet premier, Mikhail Gorbachev, has talked at length about what a disastrous mistake this invasion was... and never mentioned terrorism as a root cause.
This is yet another example of Trump bowing to the wishes of Putin and making an absurd claim that Russia was justified in invading Afghanistan, which he could only have heard from the Russian President. Yes, Trump is Putin's puppet. It becomes more and more clear all the time.
Damn BB, Trump lives in your head rent free 24-7-365.
