One small remark - USSR had about the same long border with Afghanistan, as Pakistan does. So we had to react one way or another. Otherwise, after terrorists won in Afghanistan - the next stop is Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and further to the North to inner Russia. In 90's terrorists really tried to do it after Russian forces left Central Asia. Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan asked for help and nowadays our troops are guarding their borders once again.Helpless here meant that Pakistan cannot afford the presence of Russia on one side and on the other hand had no choice to take help offered by USA so you have misunderstood my post. However unike Russians and Americans here I am not pretending to be hero though it is we who had twice opened our doors of hospitality for Afghanistan, helped Americans in their recent WOT, lost millions of lives as well as we also as you claimed "raised the issue in UN". Be it you or Vostok trying to portray is what I am denying. Nobody was hero, infact all wanted stability for themselves. We wanted peace in Afghanistan so that we can pay attention to Indian insanity and phobia. Where as Russian claim of their presence for xyz heroism is again false and so American claim of herosim. Didn't Americans funded and established so called "training camps" and provided "stinger launchers" to mujhaheedeens.
My country shares border with Afghanistan. Soviets or US don't share their borders so whatever consequence has to befall it would have affected nobody else but Pakistan first.
Indians belong to no one, mark my words darling. They will show love to you, get influence inside you and your country, make a lobby and then create problems for you. You will learn this lesson tommorow like you have learned the lesson in past regarding Afghan war.I am not saying it hatefully or show off something. I am saying this painfully. Americans never learn from others past.That's their (Indian) way to create their place. If they had ability in past to war then India wouldn't be a single state today.
Regards
For US it is a game with no stake. For USSR it was very important.
