The Afghan War & its Stack-holder

It is widely assumed that when Russia attacked Afghanistan in the 1980s. The Afghan government at the time did not oppose the attack, despite the fact that the general public (common civilians) who had ideological differences with Russia and communism came forward and began defence to protect their land from communist invasion.

Later, when Pakistan and the United States recognised that this force (the Afghan Mujahiddin) was fighting Russia's aggression with very limited resources, they began to provide resources to them. However, because they were already at odds, the United States played a critical role in defeating Russia in Afghanistan.

After the victory, the Afghan fighter leaders wanted to establish a peaceful government, but the US was not interested in the peace process and began a political intervention to disperse the Afghan leaders, which they accomplished with the assistance of the CIA. However, at the time, Pakistan went against the secret agenda of the United States and united those leaders once more to end the civilian war in Afghanistan. However, the United States did not accept this act. As a result, they altered their strategy and began intervening at a higher level in Pakistan as well.

Later on, the United States not only intervened in Afghanistan, but also in Pakistan. The United States funded Benazir Bhutto, and as a result, she was elected Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1990. Later, she was heavily used by the United States to bring about significant changes in Pakistan's top military officials.

She removed army officials who were opposed to the US intervention in Afghanistan and brought in those who shared her views.

In 1992, Benazir Butto began to form the Taliban, with the assistance of Interior Minister Naseer Ullah Babar ( an Ex Army high officers).

As a result, the United States defeated both the old army officers who were following General Zia Ul Haq's agenda, as well as the original Afghan leaders who desired peace, but a civilian war was initiated. This was the period when Pakistan's internal and foreign policies were drastically altered.

The formation of the Afghan Taliban was only possible because of ISI (Pakistan Intelligence Agency) intelligence support, political support from Benazir Bhutto and co (Moulana Fazal Rahman and Moulana Sami Ul Haq), logistical, intelligence, and financial support from the United States with the cooperation of the CIA.

It is worth noting that one of the most important religious political parties, Jamat Islami (JI), was opposed to the new strategy of Pakistan intelligence agencies and Benazir Bhutto's new policies because they wanted to project old Afghan leaders to establish their own government rather than creating a new problem for Afghanistan by projecting Taliban, but they failed. However, they were an active supporter of Afghanistan's war against Russia in the 1980s.

The administrative changes made during the Benazir era are still affecting Pakistan's army and policies, and we can see the consequences in the form of General Musharraf and General Kiyani, who always bowed down in front of the US.

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007 while campaigning for the 2008 election.

In my opinion, she was assassinated simply because she spoke out against the Taliban, which she established. But this time, the US wanted to crush the Taliban and bring NATO forces to Afghanistan, so she was speaking uselessly and without the permission of her bosses. The United States no longer required Banazir for political support because General Maushaaraf and company were already present.

Another noteworthy fact is that Benazir used the assistance of US intelligence to gain power in order to depose Zia ul Haq, who was the cause of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's (Bhutto's) death.

I'm writing these paragraphs because I saw a picture of old Afghan leaders praying together and and in brotherhood on social media yesterday, but their enemies were successful and defeated them.

In the picture, Siyyaf is leading the prayers, with Haqqani, Rabbani, Gulbadin, Muhammad Nabi, and Hameed Gul in the second row.
