Published: 24 January, 2012, 23:06

­Washington's policy of “managed chaos” has backfired in Afghanistan and Pakistan. RT’s military contributor Colonel Eugene Khrushchev says the US excelled at chaos building but has yet to succeed at managing it. The sleep of reason brings forth monsters ­ El sueño de la razon produce monstruos ­ Francisco José de Goya ­Afghanistan is in dire straits due to the United Kingdom’s ‘divide & rule’...

Always a pleasure reading Eugene's comments. Also Afghanistan (and its population) has become a training ground and targets for US/UK army and its well known terror organization.

Interesting article. But what about Jelzins de facto oil embargo against the DRA in 1992? A move that destroyed it finally simply because he didn't wanted to deal with the communists anymore? And one shouldn't forget the thousands of bright Afghan students that were sent to Universities in the Soviet Union and its satellite states solely because of their school performance, that applied for asylum in those countries after the religious extremists took over. That way Afghanistan effectively got rid of its (future) intelligentsia.

Now we have a civil war going on since 1978 and there is no end in sight.

 I just read Col. Krushchev's bio. I figured he was into some heavy situations. He's the man who knows about Afghanistan.

Listen Up! Evegeny - I don't ever recall reading anywhere that the Russians ever did any nation building in Afghanistan during the "INVASION" AND WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER OF MILLIONS.. OF AFGHANIS.. and BTW despite overhwelming fire power - the so called  "Soviet Bear" got spanked  .. While its certainly good to bash America for its foreign war follies - and very welcome - War is BS. However an Agent of the Blackest of All Pots" calling The Kettle Black - well thats just rich.. more propaganda from people living in a mafia state,  who would give their right leg and left arm to live in the U.S.

1 If you don't recall or read something, it doesn't mean that an event didn't take place

2 Any USIA propaganda victim should qualify for the detox treatment from the US gov.:

you have been perfectly brainwashed with ideologial stereotypes which you're expected to reproduce - and you parrot them with gusto;

3 Ditto you confusion between the USSR & Russia, America & US politics

4 'who would give their right leg and left arm to live in the U.S' - an apple-pie American would never say that, but second-rate proffessional refusniks and dissidents with inferiority complex and cold war PTSD would.

Glorious USA created Al-Qaida sending billions to Bin-Ladin to create  Jihad rebels to oust Russians out which were using ground troops, then created the 9/11 excuse.__ US instead BOMBED  villages from the Air, with depleted uranium ammunition killing a few millions of CIVILIANS, later came to ground using torture, financing some chiefs of war to make opium the main export industry, then installed their puppet Karzai in a so democratic tricked process with his brother controlling the drug trade.___ Then made shure Al-Qaida troops were trained in Pakistan to make the war spread and last forever, good for the American war armament industry thriving, and  making the shares of the Glorious BushCheney(Halliburton)Rumsfeld go up on the stock market, and create propaganda fear on US soil, depleting US citizens rights with new laws like the Patriot Act. THEN like not enough, invented other excuses for Invading now gloriously so-Democratic Irak the same way. NOW why not new excuses for Iran even if US banking is turning the country bankrupt and its citizens on welfare.

Glorious USA also started the second war in Chechnya, sending there more so-called rebels than the original population.  Their famous Brzezinsky planner and their agent George Soros, (see a list of his CIA-NationalEndowment for Democracy and OSI organizations at -- DiscoverTheNetwork.org -- site, disguised as NGO,s) then organized the destabilization process and installation of Puppets in most ex-soviet states, with colored revolutions, (Ukraine, Georgia, Yugoslavia and others) and the installation of missile bases all around Russia and China, also near Cashmir to control India and Pakistan borders, hegemonic, warmonger, resources robbing US process financed by British and US banks.

Glorious USA bombed voluntarily a Red Cross Afghan warehouse filled with food donations from different countries to feed the villages populations, after the first bombings) to foment a revolt against the leaders of the country, THEN waited for the Red  Cross to fill it again and bombed it for a second time._____Also voluntarily Bombed an Hotel in Irak filled with twenty Journalists from different countries knowing too much about US horror raids against civilians. Destroyed field crops in Irak and contaminated Baghad aquaducts to make civilians starve.____Lately, fomented with the NATO,s French, British and puppet Canada, the destruction of Libya, with the invention of an excuse sending the very first day from a US ship near the port of Tripoli, a hundred twelve depleted  uranium missiles (near a hundred thousand civilians killed, and a few hundred tortured by the NationalTransitionComittee. All to seize the Oil production resourse of the country, privatize its banks, steal the gold reserve, and the Libyan and African countries union  billions accumulated funds, destabilizing and endebting all the African countries for years.

Glorious USA with its capitalist free-market so-efficient economy system becoming bankrupt, and unbacked (by gold or resource) US dollar going valueless, now wants to destroy any competing currency, after sending GoldmanSachs to turn Greece bankrupt and destabilize the Euro currency,  destroyed the African and Libyan gold dinar, What,s next, knowing that the entire planet economy system is now controlled by the Rothchilds, the Rockefellers, GoldmanSachs(all Soros friends) private banking system, even if the constitution says a public central bank should manage.

When the US Economy crashes, at least she won't be able to "F" the rest of the world about for a while. She will be back. Hopefully she will be a far wiser state than she is now.


One of her main problems is that there are too many agencies, etc, competing with each other, and not knowing what the other is doing or why. Chaos!

This is an an article that deserve all kinds of appreciation for its truthfulness, scientific analysis and knowledge about both Pakistan and Afghanistan. It was shame for international community, particularly the  UN which has become a Trojan Horse of teh US that Dr. Najibullah was murdered in the UN compound and there is still no one to bring Taliban to International Court of Justice. . As an Afghan, I believe that the Russian never invaded Afghanistan but tried to help them, protect  them and developed them. One thing more that the honorable writer forgotten is that the US has toppled down all of the secular government in Muslim country and Syria is the last target. We hope that Russia will never allow the US Beast to turn Syria into a fanatic state. We the Muslim now understand that Russians are our true friends and we apologize for what we thought and acted against them.
