Would 9/11 also qualify for saying FAFO, seeing that the person supposedly organising it was an ex-CIA asset?

if i have my facts correctly, taliban as a whole was funded by us to overpower the then russian influenced govt.

And ironically one of the more potent weapons the Taliban had against the US was US Stinger surface-to-air missiles.

But it was not a Russian influenced govt, it was a straight Soviet invasion, so basically a full role reversal.

while writing, i was confused about this. was it a russian puppet state that was established, or like directly reporting to moscow. so i thought russia influenced was a safer bet.
