Question: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?
Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.
Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?
B: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?
B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.
B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

Here Brzezinski admits to creating and arming the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to draw Russia into invading Afghanistan and fight a demoralising war such as the USA fought in Vietnam.
But take note of this part of the interview:
B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Here the interviewer suggests that "Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today" and Brzezinski responds with "Nonsense!".
This interview took place in 1998. Three years later al Qaeda, allegedly derived from the Mujahideen created by Brzezinski, attacked the USA on 11th September 2001, leading to the USA being at war ever since, invading Iraq, bombing Libya and supporting cutthroat Jihadis in Syria.
And events in Syria and Ukraine are not mutually exclusive.
Shortly after the attacks of 11th September 2001, the former head of NATO military forces in Europe, General Wesley Clark, was informed of a plan for war on seven nations in five years. The seven nations were Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Syria, together with Libya, Sudan and Somalia. There was a war on Iraq in 2003. Israel attacked Lebanon in 2006. But by 2007 this plan was moribund. So an agreement was reached between the USA, Israel and Saudi Arabia that the latter would unleash cutthroat Jihadis onto those nations named to Clark which had not yet been attacked. The Arab Spring was designed to provide cover for these cutthroat Jihadis. The first to suffer these Jihadis was Libya in 2011. Around the same time The Arab Spring kicked off in Syria. However events have not unfolded as planned in Syria. President Assad, the Syrian people and The Syrian Arab Army have resisted and have almost defeated the cutthroats. Last summer the writing was on the wall for the cutthroats, and their controllers knew it. So Prince Bandar bin Sultan threatened Putin; dump Assad or there will be hell on earth in Syria. Putin declined. On 21st August hundreds of Syrian children and their parents were murdered at Ghouta. Their deaths were immediately blamed on Assad to provoke an overt large scale military intervention by NATO to save the cutthroat Jihadis.
But one man stood in their way; President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
At the G8 summit at Lough Erne last summer it was Putin and only Putin who brought to the attention of the world the horrific nature of the cutthroat Jihadis who had been unleashed onto defenceless Syrian children.
After Ghouta Putin remained steadfast and continued and continues to support the Syrian people against our ally Saudi Arabia.
So while the world's attention was focused on the Sochi winter olympics, and Russian intelligence was occupied with stopping Bandar unleashing Jihadis onto the Olympics, as he had warned last summer and following the attacks in Volgograd at New Year, the NATO intelligence services were busy stoking a revolution in Ukraine. It nearly failed. A truce and an agreement had been agreed for early elections. But the 'peaceful protesters' employed snipers to shoot people from both sides, to incite a violent revolution. And after a bit of extreme violence Ukrainian neo-Nazi fascists are now in power and demanding nuclear weapons.
NATO politicians are jubilant at this very disturbing turn of events. We went to war in 1939 to fight Hitlerism. The United Nations Declaration of 1st January 1942 clearly states this. Yet today our moronic, brainless, spineless politicians cheer on as Hitler-worshipping thugs violently oust a legitimately elected government and demand nuclear weapons to threaten Russia!!
The link between Ukraine and Syria is obvious. The port of Sevastopol in Crimea gives Russia access to the Black Sea and thus The Mediterranean Sea and thus direct naval access to Syria.
And that this coup occured just months after Putin denied the warmongers their war on Syria is no coincidence.
But what has the lunatic Brzezinki, the man who got it so wrong on Islamic fundamentalism, to say? In The Washington Post of 4th March 2014, Brzezinski proposes:
1. That the violent fascist coup should now be recognised as the legitimate government of Ukraine;
2. That Russia should help to stabilise Ukraine;
3. That Ukraine is in the middle of Europe (?!)
4. That Ukraine will not be NATO-ized;
5. Crimea can be given special status (but does not elaborate, i.e. independence).
These are the proposals of a deranged lunatic whose thoughts and ideas were shown to be incorrect on 11th September 2001.
These are the proposals of the man who has admitted creating Islamic fundamentalism to entice Russia into a self-destructive 10 year war in Afghanistan, which still has serious repurcussions today, over 30 years later.
Or is Islamic fundamentalism being exaggerated?
I believe both.
