On Christmas Day, 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan with trucks and armored personnel carriers built at the colossal Kama River "truck" plant. A dozen American firms, including Ford Motor Company, Glidden Machine & Tool Company, Gulf and Western Industries, Honeywell, the Swindell-Dressler Company, Warner & Swazey, the Ingersoll Milling Machine Company and the E.W. Bliss Company, were authorized by the U.S. government to supply the Soviets with technology and equipment needed to build and operate the plant.
U.S. officials responsible for this fiasco? Henry Kissinger, national security adviser to Nixon; George Shultz, then Nixon's treasury secretary, later Ronald Reagan's secretary of state; and William J. Casey, then head of the Export-Import Bank, which provided $153 million. Financing was arranged by David Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank. Kissinger, Shultz, Casey and Rockefeller were all members of the Council on Foreign Relations. (2)
