Once again... the support in terms of direct support to the Mujaheddin started slow and slowly increased over years. It wasn't immediate. It wasn't immediately substantial weapons stocks. They were just a scattered, untrained, unorganized force.
Further, the initial help to them was simply a tactic to prolong the Soviets involvement there and to make them suffer morally, politically and economically. None of the assistance in the first 3/4 of the war was intended to give them a significant edge.. it was designed to give them just enough to resist and cost the Soviets lives and money.
You are trying to make it sound like the west showed up on Day 2 of the invasion and caused the Afghan resistance to win. Nothing is further from the truth.
Thanks for playing.
Keep digging, Keep learning. Hope wikipedia doesn't ban your IP for so many hits and searches per minute trying to construct any kind of argument.
