The soviet takeover of afghanistan in 1979 was simply a new episode in the domination of that country by russians for the last 200 yrs
the response it generated largely in the muslim world was artifically created by americans …it results disastrous for the world and esp. pakistan.
The only people who benefitted are the pakistani military generals who under the pretence of “holy war” brain washed thousands of afghan youths and turned them into cold blooded murderers while they reaped the rewards doled out from an equally “evil empire” .
Also it earned the pakistanis lasting distrust and hatred from the Russians
with hindsight it was a bad move to support the americans against the soviets

^ How do you feel about india and russia squeezing Pakistan on both sides in case of a war?

About corruption, it is about the mindset of our ruling class. People made millions from the kashmir campaign to even the disastrous earthquake [even that happens ] so I think it was bound to happen with the huge amount of $$$ flowing in the region. As long as you don’t have accountability of all people regardless of power or rank, Pakistan will always remain a state teetering or actually becoming a failed banana republic.
