Trump knows nothing re the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Instead, he mouths/embraces *Soviet* disinformation that Moscow invaded Afghanistan to quell terrorism against the USSR. No-it invaded to protect a client communist government that had seized power in a coup.

.@realDonaldTrump is literally mouthing Soviet propaganda. How do you like that, John Bolton (and every Fox News national security "analyst")! https://t.co/w6bSPVEnmH
