By the Soviet Russian invasion of 1979. Funny how 'gar' mentions the US and NATO, but not the people responsible for starting the whole bloody [laterally] mess.

Sorry did I just have a horrible dream and the whole slide towards radical islam, russian invasion to install a hard communist state, civil war to get rid of said russians (funded and run from the US ok)
and then the totalitarial radical islamic state run by the Taliban was all just a dream.

but no, I can smell the sweet sweet smell of revionist history, with all the nasty "reality" taken out.
