On the 30th anniversary of the USSR military campaign in Afghanistan, RT military analyst Eugene Khrushchev asked KGB Vympel veteran Colonel Lev Korolkov about his views on the Soviet military involvement.
The Soviet Union must have had some reason for going to war in Afghanistan, some thirty years ago, but the world has not learned the truth. Does anyone know why the Soviet Union fought and lost that war? Was Afghanistan a threat to the Soviet Union? If so, how and why. Is Afghanistan still a threat to Russia. What is the deal with Ben Laden who is supposedly hiding out in a cave in Pakistan and the whole world is not capable, after all these years, of finding and capturing him? This is all very strange.
I totally agree, nothing has been achieved and neva will b. I dont know much about the Russian -Afghan war but i know this much all wars are brutal and the only people that suffa are the ones on da ground, people who have difficulty placing food on da table 4 their children whom are the most innocent. The US should withdraw now not send in more troops, wat is Obama playin at, doesnt he realize the situation can only get worse. We and our so called puppet leaderz need 2 unite and become 1 and demand an end to all atrocities tekin place in certain parts ov da world at this present moment in time.
