Well the US and Russia could have worked together in Afghanistan. Too late now.
The US interest was to prevent Afghanistan from being used as a launchpad for attacks against the US. It is why the Russian went into Afghanistan as well. The Russian s also told the Afghan communists they were moving too fast and were pissing people off. The Russians were right. The Russian probably pulled levers to get communist in power in the mid 1870s, but that is another story and maybe with or without the Russians the Afghan communists would have come to power if but for a short while.
You know you are fucked when you are hoping and dreading the Chinese tamping down in the Taliban and reigning in the Pakistani masters.
The US will get the refugees whose kids will become terrorists. China will get the slave labor.
