The trap that brought down the Soviet Union in Afghanistan involved Texas Senator Charlie Wilson, who was the head of a very powerful congressional committee that control a huge budget that need not report as to how the funds were spent.
Afghanistan was fighting the Soviet Union with WW II style weapons, and the Soviet's helicopters, tanks, and jets were armored against such weapon. In order to hide USA involvement in the conflict, Charlie Wilson and his CIA team obtained modern Soviet Union weapon systems like the personal portable surface to air missile systems used to shot down Soviet helicopter gunships and jets. Soviet weapon were also obtained to deal with large soviet tanks. Not only was the modern Soviet weaponry supplied to the Afghans, the USA supplied advisers to train the Afghans on these technical weapon systems. And who do you think was the gun dealer for the CIA that supplied the Soviet Weapons supplied to the Afghans. It was Israel. Not only was the USA involved in the trap, but China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom were also providing covert military assistance to Afghanistan's mujahideen, so Russia really got bother-in-lawed on that war. This could also happen to the USA in Afghanistan with only the names changed to protect the guilty. Regards, LelandJ Leland F.
