My understanding was they felt any revolution that isn't global is doomed to failure, yeah. Not so much an admission that the anti-Bolsheviks were right so much as saying the Bolsheviks were right to try but ultimately didn't really win.

I would say the most the Bolsheviks could do is buy time until they were completely cornered by the US.

Also, Trots turning into neocons doesn’t seem that weird when you think of it as a logical idea extension of where their thought process.

They want to gently caress kids. Like, the Taliban literally rose to power because the warlords of the Northern Alliance were loving too many kids. They need to stay independent, or the Taliban will literally stick their heads on pikes.

12 Strong (also known as 12 Strong: The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers) is a 2018 American action war drama film directed by Nicolai Fuglsig and written by Ted Tally and Peter Craig. The film is based on Doug Stanton's non-fiction book Horse Soldiers, which tells the story of U.S. Army Special Forces sent to Afghanistan immediately after the September 11 attacks. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Geoff Stults, Thad Luckinbill, William Fichtner, and Rob Riggle.

Mitch Nelson, a US Army Captain with Green Berets Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 595, is moving into a new home with his wife and daughter on September 11, 2001, after receiving an assignment to staff duty under LTCol. Bowers. As news of the devastating terrorist attacks that day break, Nelson volunteers to lead 595 into Afghanistan. Bowers initially refuses, but veteran soldier CW5 Hal Spencer, previously scheduled to retire, persuades Bowers to give Nelson command of 595 again, as well as volunteering himself for the deployment. After leaving their families, 595 travels to Uzbekistan on October 7, 2001. After being briefed and evaluated by COL Mulholland, Commander of 5th Special Forces Group, Nelson and 595 are picked to fight alongside Northern Alliance leader Abdul Rashid Dostum.
