The film is adapted from a novel, the novel itself is fabricated, and the movie is fabricated again. Therefore, when the basic events conform to historical facts, more of the collective credit is attributed to Charlie. In fact, the CIA and Army Green Shell were already operating in Pakistan and Afghanistan before Charlie intervened. Since Charlie was in charge of the source of funds on behalf of the Congress, he had close contacts with the top brass of Pakistan, and the President of Pakistan personally gave the credit to Congressman Charlie. And the unfortunate sacrifice of the CIA can only carve an unnamed star on the wall of Langley,
A lot of comments judged the time in terms of where it stands today. In fact, no country sided with the Soviet Union at that time, and the profound friendship between China and Pakistan was established and deepened at that time. The close cooperation between China and the United States also began at this time.
Being anti-American today does not mean that he was not pro-American at that time. After Deng's visit to the United States, he obviously chose a camp. The Soviet Union has stopped communicating with each other, and even beat the Soviet Union's younger brother Vietnam. On the battlefield in Afghanistan, China also has representatives in Pakistan to help with training. Masood, the lion of Pansijaer, always has "The Selection of Mao" by his hand. Who do you think gave him this book? Many countries, including my country, refused to participate in the 1980 Moscow Olympics because of their resistance to Soviet aggression. Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United States and China were the ones who helped to resist the Soviet Union.
As for why China is on the side of the United States, on the one hand, China and the Soviet Union are at odds, and people have been beaten and killed. On the other hand, once the Soviet Union reaches the Indian Ocean, China, Southeast Asia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia will suffer the most. The route from China to North Africa will be completely under the control of the Soviet Union, which can not be beaten but still has a bad relationship. China has never welcomed a powerful Russia, and Russia has never given up operating Xinjiang.
Many people believe that American training has contributed to the proliferation of the Taliban and terrorism. In fact, they do not understand the actual situation in Afghanistan. After the Soviet withdrawal, most tribes in Afghanistan were pro-American. But the U.S. focus first shifted to the merger of East and West Germany, followed by the Gulf War. State aid to Afghanistan fell by 70 percent. Various forces began to fight civil war in Afghanistan to grab territory.
Bin Laden was originally pro-American, and it was during the Gulf War that he broke with the United States. The Arab world and West Asia are basically divided into two groups. One is pro-American to get aid, and the other is anti-American in order to compete with pro-American forces for territory.
At that time, Masood, a famous anti-Soviet general in northern Afghanistan, had to destroy the Tajik Masood if bin Laden wanted to achieve Islamic autonomy in Afghanistan. Massoud has a high reputation in northern Afghanistan. In order to set up an anti-American banner and establish an independent kingdom, bin Laden al-Qaeda first funded Massoud's enemy, the Taliban, which tilted the balance of power in Afghanistan. In order to prevent being attacked by the Massoud Northern Alliance after the attack on the United States. The al-Qaeda blew up and assassinated Massoud three days before 9/11.
Only after 9/11 did the United States realize it was too early to leave Afghanistan. The Green Bay oda595 team and the CIA returned to Afghanistan and other generals of the Northern Alliance to continue their cooperation, using the ground to guide B52 air strikes, annihilating most of the Taliban... The war in Afghanistan has begun. In fact, behind the Taliban, there has always been the support of a big donor, most likely Saudi Arabia. Because the US Gulf War directly encroached on the Middle East, the Iraq War intervened heavily with trumped-up reasons. There are many countries that do not want the United States to be in the Middle East, so they need Afghanistan to shift the focus of the United States. Pakistan is one of them. If the United States did not have an enemy in Afghanistan, state aid would be cut by more than half. Therefore, Pakistan acquiesced to the Taliban to enter Pakistan for training and then return to Afghanistan. After the Iraq War, the United States had to return to Afghanistan. Another possibility is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia needs the help of the United States to deal with Iraq, but does not want the United States to stay in Iraq for a long time, especially since the United States has forcibly established a Shiite government in Iraq and is closer to the United States than Saudi Arabia. First Saudi Arabia is Sunni, second Iran is involved in Iraq. Saudi Arabia urgently needs to intervene in Iraq and expel Iranian forces, all of which are premised on the withdrawal of U.S. troops. I can't turn my face out, so I need another way.
