This is America, this is politicians

This is a political film that brings together two Oscar winners and a big winner. Tom hanks obviously tried his best, whether as a producer or an actor, he even sacrificed his color to reveal a butt that is no longer sexy. But overall, the film is dull and even lethargic at first. But it must also be admitted that the film is serious and serious.
At least, through this film, we see the hypocrisy, ego, and stupidity of white American politicians, as they are currently doing with Tibet. Don't be fooled by the so-called Western democracies, they never really care about others. Those politicians are more of a racist and they act only for votes and personal gain. Therefore, the United States supports Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, and after achieving its goal, it no longer cares about the life and death of the Afghans. As a result, Afghanistan has become the current stronghold of anti-Americanism. This is the result of pragmatic and stupid politics. Shooting yourself in the foot deserves it.
Political movies are not flattering, but this movie is still worth watching, especially in the current international situation.

    Mike Vickers: Well, the Oerlikon's a good start, but the Russians would just start flying higher-altitude missions.

    Charlie Wilson: So what else do they need?

    Mike Vickers: Same thing they'd give us: AK-47s, AK-74s, AKMS. The Soviets didn't come into Afghanistan on a Eurail pass, they came in T-55 tanks. The fighters need RPG-7 antitank grenade launchers, Katyusha 170-millimeter rockets, wire mines, plastic mines, bicycle bombs, sniper rifles, ammunition for all of the above, and frequency-hopping radios and burst transmitters so these guys aren't so fucking easy to find. I've written it all in a report you can read; you'd be the first one who did.
