Oy Bucko. What Government decided to supply the Afghan wackos with arms in the summer of 1979 in order to force the USSR into its own private Vietnam quagmire and thus set off the chain of events which led to the rise of the Mujihadfin, the rise of Al Qaeda, the slaughter of more than a million Afghans by Soviet forces and Afghan auxiliaries, the rise of the Taliban, the dreadful attacks of 9/11 and the US 2001 invasion which required those informants and agents to be in peril in the first place. Don't blame others for the mess that you Americans and your Soviet (now Rusdian) rivals have been making all around the globe. Clean up your own acts rather than beating up on those who expose your (American and Russian) heinous crimes.
Cheers and be well.

Oh look, the same old historically ignorant load of tripe trying to equate the Mujahideen and the Taliban. When are you lot going to get it through your heads that the two groups are not and never were the same? Ahmad Shah Massoud, the top anti Taliban resistance leader assassinated two days before 9/11? He was a member of the Mujahideen.
Furthermore, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was incredibly brutal. Read up, maybe you’ll learn something.
“
The army of the Soviet Union killed large numbers of Afghans to suppress their resistance.
[162] Up to 2 million Afghans were killed by the Soviet forces and their proxies.
[164] In one notable incident the Soviet Army committed mass killing of civilians in the summer of 1980.
[165] One notable war crime was the
Laghman massacrein April 1985 in the villages of Kas-Aziz-Khan, Charbagh, Bala Bagh, Sabzabad, Mamdrawer, Haider Khan and Pul-i-Joghi
[166] in the
Laghman Province. At least 500 civilians were killed.
[167]
In order to separate the mujahideen from the local populations and eliminate their support, the Soviet army killed and drove off civilians, and used scorched earth tactics to prevent their return. They used booby traps, mines, and chemical substances throughout the country.
[165] The Soviet army indescriminately killed combatants and noncombatants to ensure submission by the local populations.
[165] The provinces of Nangarhar, Ghazni, Lagham, Kunar, Zabul, Qandahar, Badakhshan, Lowgar, Paktia and Paktika witnessed extensive depopulation programmes by the Soviet forces.
[163]
The Soviet forces abducted Afghan women in helicopters while flying in the country in search of mujahideen. In November 1980 a number of such incidents had taken place in various parts of the country, including Laghman and Kama. Soviet soldiers as well as KhAD agents kidnapped young women from the city of Kabul and the areas of Darul Aman and Khair Khana, near the Soviet garrisons, to rape them.
[168] Women who were taken and raped by Russian soldiers were considered 'dishonoured' by their families if they returned home.
[169]Deserters from the Soviet Army in 1984 also confirmed the atrocities by the Soviet troops on Afghan women and children, stating that Afghan women were being raped.
[170] The rape of Afghan women by Soviet troops was common and 11.8 percent of the Soviet war criminals in Afghanistan were convicted for the offence of rape.

So simply dismissing those who fought the Soviets as “whackos” is rather ignorant.
You trying to blame the US for Assange deliberately exposing Afghans working against the Taliban is rather pathetic. Again, if I hack into the Witmess Protection Program and release the new identities of the witnesses, I don’t get to turn around and cry “no big deal” if the government manages to keep them from being murdered by hit squads.
But I forgot, you Assange fanboys would cheer if the “collaborators” were murdered en masse.
