Americans and Russians made similar mistakes. They put inbred Pashtuns into power and then were surprised when they immediately did typical Pashtun things like Pashtunization, mass murder, and boyfucking which made them unpopular with the non-Pashtun majority.

At least the Russians figured out to kill the Pashtuns which allowed their puppet state to survive a few years after withdrawal, but the Americans left two of them in charge (against a Pashtun insurgency at that) until the last one alienated so many non-Pashtuns the entire government just collapsed and he fled on a helicopter while the American army was around.

Aren't the Taliban Pashtuns and they hate every other minority?

>>18002387
Yes and the idiotic Americans put two Pashtun nationalists with sympathies to the Taliban like Karzai and Ashraf Ghani in the presidency and even rigged elections for them, instead of letting the non-Pashtun group that became popular off fighting the Pashtun Taliban, known as the Northern Alliance take charge.

Dostum did nothing wrong. The fake news media made up that thing about the shipping containers.

He asked for Soviet aid
They aided :)

Didn't the Spetsnaz/paratroopers they sent to 'save' the Afghan president that invited them end up murdering the same Afghan president on orders from their commanders?

Dostum was evil Uzbek retard that aligned himself with Pashtun nationalists that were colluding with Taliban to kill him.

>they put into power in the first place
no. Amin couped the guy who soviets put into power and was generally incopetent and unfavored. still, he considered ussr and ally and would be good lapdog eventually, removing him still seems like a very low-iq move by vatniks.

Because it's ok, because.....Because it just is chud!

Nobody gives a shit about the Middle East.

Dostum is a literal Warlord-era China tier warlord and gangster whose loyalty is to wherever the power and money is.

He was removed for being too Stalinist and indiscriminate with his violence.

>how come there's no talk about the time the KGB went into a foreign country and just flat out killed a foreign leader that they put into power in the first place?
Because the U.S did the same thing in the same country not even two decades later.
