Trump now just straight-up parroting Soviet propaganda:

Trump defends the 1979 Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, says Russians were justified to invade because there were "terrorists" there who attacked Russia.
For those of you who are unaware, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979 not because of a wave of Afghan terror attacks inside the Soviet Union, but to prop up the communist government in power in Kabul at the time. Of course, once Republicans get around to re-writing the school books, I'm sure the history textbooks will reflect this "new" version of events.
Where Trump got this version of events, who knows. Not even Fox News is pathetic enough to just parrot Russian historical revisionism. Either Trump has been watching RT during his "Executive Time" or this shit must come straight from the Kremlin.
And this is hardly a one-off for Trump, he's also defended the illegal Russian annexation of the Crimea.
On a side note, who else loves Trump's expert historical analysis of the fall of the Soviet Union? Big brain on this one, he has the best words. "they went into being called Russia again?" Jesus Christ this guy might actually be mentally retarded.
