It Worked
But there were side effects to making the deals that we made that are now coming back to haunt us.
I would much rather have this situation we have now (as scary as it might seem), than a strong Russia having destroyed Afghanistan, flexing it's military muscle into Pakistan, Western Europe, Turkey, and Alaska.
Everything we do has intended AND unintended consequences (that we cannot foresee). Sometimes those unintended consequences are a nit, sometimes they are profound.
Remember the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
