1979 saw two major strategically important events: the overthrow

of U.S. ally the Shah of Iran, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

The Iranian Revolution precipitated the Iran hostage crisis, which

would last for the rest of Carter's presidency. Brzezinski

anticipated the Soviet invasion, and, with the support of Saudi

Arabia, Pakistan, and the People's Republic of China, he created

a strategy to undermine the Soviet presence. Using this

atmosphere of insecurity, Brzezinski led the United States toward

a new arms buildup and the development of the Rapid Deployment

Forces—policies that are both more generally associated with

Reagan's presidency now

 

November 9, 1979, Brzezinski was woken at 3 am by a phone call

with a startling message: The Soviets had just launched 250

nuclear weapons at the United States. Minutes later, Brzezinski

received another call: The early-warning system actually showed

2,000 missiles heading toward the United States. As Brzezinski

prepared to phone President Jimmy Carter to plan a full-scale

response, he received a third call: It was a false alarm. An early

warning training tape generating indications of a large-scale Soviet

nuclear attack had somehow transferred to the actual early warning

network, which triggered an all-too-real scramble

 

Brzezinski briefed U.S. vice-president George H. W. Bush before

his 1987 trip to Poland that aided in the revival of the Solidarity

movement

 

1985 under the Reagan administration, Brzezinski served as a

member of the President's Chemical Warfare Commission

 

1987 to 1988 worked on the U.S. National Security Council–Defense

Department Commission on Integrated Long-Term Strategy

 

1987 to 1989 served on the President's Foreign Intelligence

Advisory Board

 

1988 co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory

Task Force

 

served as Bill Clinton's emissary to Azerbaijan in order to promote

the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline.

 

became a member of Honorary Council of Advisors of

U.S.-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC)

 

he led, together with Lane Kirkland, the effort to increase the

endowment for the U.S.-sponsored Polish-American Freedom

Foundation from the proposed $112 million to an eventual total

of well over $200 million

 

One initiative Carter authorized to achieve this goal was a

collaboration between the CIA and Pakistan's Inter-Services

Intelligence (ISI); through the ISI, the CIA began providing some

$500,000 worth of non-lethal assistance to the mujahideen on

July 3, 1979—several months prior to the Soviet invasion. The

modest scope of this early collaboration was likely influenced by

the understanding, later recounted by CIA official Robert Gates,

"that a substantial U.S. covert aid program" might have "raise[d]

the stakes" thereby causing "the Soviets to intervene more directly

and vigorously than otherwise intended". The first shipment of U.S.weapons intended for the mujahideen reached Pakistan on January 10, 1980, shortly following the Soviet invasion
