Karl Marx famously said that history repeats itself, first as
tragedy, second as farce. The only difference between the Afghan jihad

jihadists like the Taliban and al Qaeda for the first time in history
and the Libyan and Syrian civil wars, 2011-onward, is that the Afghan
jihad was an overt jihad: back then, the Western political
establishments and their mouthpiece, the mainstream media, used to
openly brag that the CIA provides all those AK-47s, RPGs and stingers to
the Afghan so-called “freedom fighters” to combat the Soviet troops in
Afghanistan. [ 1,212 more word ]
