    It does go to show that people sometimes don’t think ahead. They seem to have only ever considered the present and now reality hit them in the face lol. Similar happened to Trump when he was elected and suddenly had to…you know…work.

          Him and his Mujahideen were awful religious zealots back then too. That was just ignored due to the “enemy of my enemy is my friend and thus a hero” principle that the US have consistently applied to some of the biggest monsters in history.
