How come Afghanistan was such a shitshow when the Soviets invaded

Same reason it is now. America sponsors goat fuckers to topple the legitimate secular governments in the middle east if they don't bow to them.

But the Soviets were the ones who destabilized the Afghani government by getting rid of the popular elected leader and putting a commie puppet in his place.

Hungary isn't a broken shithole of a country, and it doesn't border Pakistan.

Reagan was pushing the right buttons.

Afghans are really scummy people outside of cities. No wonder Soviets grew impatient and started blowing up villages. It's all tribal warfare there; you befriend a village and they tell you that they know another village that is Mujahideen / Taliban. You attack it, but it turns out that they're just the other villages' rivals, and the befriended village just wanted you on their side to destroy them. But the allied tribes of the village you assaulted now hate you, while the ones you befriend later join them up for some interest or another, and the cycle keeps on repeating.

They are rascals if the fucking Soviets couldn't impose feminism in them.

Not exactly.

Commie A wins the election, Commie B throws him out, Soviets put Commie A back in power and all hell breaks out
