- Program begins with excerpts from the Soviet film "Waiting" - one that explores the experiences of Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan, their return home, and impacts on their families. A fascinating discussion follows as American and Soviet analysts compare and contrast the Vietnam and Afghanistan experiences, potential impact of loss on the respective Superpowers, and Gorbachev's key role in ending the 9 year old conflict.
7:38 real winner of every war in asia and africa
HAHHAAHAH
Lol
The "Heros" marched across the bridge!
The "LOSERS" fled to the airport or flew out at night sneaky without notice!
Special snowflake lol
Also lost 13 soldiers as last return gift
Ok the hero's bordered Afghanistan while losers were continents and oceans away
But yeah nice comparison
Indian logic
"Brought to you by TOYOTA"
ALL time favorite.
End up Americans repeat Saigon while Soviets at least withdraw with dignity
That is true but the deaths of the solder’s of both countries died in the end for nothing
No dignity in a collapsed soviet, and now Rus’ people vs Rus’ people in Ukraine. Maybe the real enemy is within.
The commies still lost don’t matter if they left with dignity.
Is it just me or did that Russian editor (Artyom Borovik) seemed emotionally distraught during that whole interview? RIP brave soul.
It was a very hard war for Russians to take. Not only a big embarrassment, but also a lot of death and injury, not to mention the social and economic impact.
@@dingdong7610 Just like Americans in Vietnam :(
0:14 - 0:22 I bet that’s also how several Americans are feeling.
Followed by "superpowers aren't suppose to lose" as a cherry on top.
Rent free in your head
Wow ABC news used to be good
They all used to be good
Yes, we all know. Bias media here. Bias media there. Stop whining about it
Look up the fairness doctrine if you want to learn why the news is shit now.
Why? Are you saying government-controlled and censored news is better? You want the government to control EVERY news outlet like how it is in Russia, China, Iran, and any other dictatorship?
Hard to believe, hard to watch knowing what’s next for the ussr
Or the USA, given that they went into there to clean up the mess they created with the resistance just 14 years later....and there even longer until defeat in 2021.
Russia left Afghanistan with a certain dignity, and US ended running away from Vietnam with people hanging down from planes. 😪
The Soviets may not have won in Afghanistan, but compared to the US they proved to be far more successful in that they at least got to leave with some honor and dignity when they crossed that bridge. If only it could have been the same for America. 😔.
It borders Afghanistan while USA is continents away
@Antonio Narciso Luna Where in my comment did I say that America is bad?
A defeat is a defeat, don’t try to bend it. The real winners are Afghanistan people, screw the invaders.
Loser is a Loser
😂😂😂😂
@@212h2 So was America.
Who is after fall of Kabul in 15 August?
Little known fact the soviet installed gov lasted years after they left when we left it lasted hours
probably because it stood for something more than individual greed and the alighty dollar
None of the anchors or the guests had ever suggested the possibility of a " Soviet union collapse " in a matter of 30 + months after the Soviet army's withdrawal from Afghanistan !
" Artyom Borovik " expected a (blood bath) in Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal from the country , he was partially right in that an ensuing war against the communist regime in Kabul took place ; ultimately overthrowing that regime in 1992 !
Then the Mujahideen factions went into a low scale civil war for another 4+ years before the rise of Taliban to power in 1996 ! The whole toll of casualties for that civil conflict can never be described by any means as a (blood bath) !
Borovik had a historic terminology mistake when he described the (Czarish Russians) during the Napoleonic invasion of Russia in 1812 as (Soviets) , but his predictions of the support of Soviet " Afghanistan war veterans " to Gorbachev's prestroika policies were totally funny !
Why would they suggest a collapse? Eastern Europe was still 6-10 months from collapse. China was in fact closer to a collapse just 3-4 months later.
@@dingdong7610 Only people ahead of their times can make such suggestions & predictions ! Gorbachev was the US man in the kremlin , but it was too late by then for the Soviets to get rid of him !
@@WhyNot-si4pj Gorbachev got promoted to combat the waining Soviet support in the USSR due to the wars and economic issues. People felt they couldn't speak out, even in good faith with the system. Gorby seemed to be influenced by anti-communist liberals within the system like Yakovlev and Yeltsin as much as the West. But yes, USA media knew any crack in the system would cause a spill or outcry and the Soviet system would have to fall or crackdown, neither would be great options for them, so they cheered it on. And the reforms produced the desired effect when Estonia challenged the legitimacy of the inclusion of the Baltic States in the USSR due to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. And yes, Gorby was utilized as a pawn by the west, as much as he was his own liberal. Andropov actually, as part of the KGB, is seen as the real trigger (not Brezhnev, who knew of the risks economic, political and military) of the Afghan invasion and subsequent war. It's a shame because Andropov was, when he took over, trying to fix some of the internal problems of the USSR without the reforms. While it is unlikely he would have been successful, the USSR may have survived longer than it did. Not that it may have mattered. The real shame is the power vacuum it opened up in that part of the world, post-Soviet times, and there is plenty of autocracy, as bad as USSR days (take Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan), and plenty of opportunism for the west to, as Gorby has recently said, provoke the situation for its own military-industrial conquest and justification. Certainly the current Ukraine situation is apart of it, with the fallout from the Orange Revolution and the increasingly draconian actions of Putin in recent years.
Can anyone upload full of this version of anthem
Hundreds of thousand communists met their grave in Afghan come from all over the world Soviet Yugoslavia Hungry India Cuba North Korea Bulgaria etc but still cannot defeat the mujahideen.
Are you high on opium? Only Soviets went to Afghanistan, none of the other countries even bothered to join
Long live Lion of Punjshair
Now I know how the Soviet civilians felt the feel of embarrassment and all those deaths for nothing
And so many young Russian and Ukrainian lives are being lost again in Putin's deranged war on Ukraine. An incredibly tragic and sad waste of a generation. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!
Biden's withdrawal was total chaos!
you have to understand: first of all-they are muslims, second they are of theirs country of origin, third they are men and the last one they are citizens of USA, Great Britain, Germany and Canada etc.
They aren't citizens of the USA Canada the UK and Germany. They are from numerous Muslim countries surrounding Afghanistan.
Russian and afghan Taliban brother's ship
But they only loose n Afghanistan
Hm
New Afghan govt must asked war compensation from Russian govt not less than USD1 trillion dollars for crime dan destruction made by former Soviet which are the same race thats is Russian.
The Soviets were of many "races". The Soviet Union had swallowed up many independent countries. The largest was Russia, but many many of those soldiers were not Russians.
Usa?
Hahahahahahah, look: the Red Army defeated the powerful war machine of Nazi Germany, but was humiliated by a band of ragged guerrillas on the sands of the Afghan desert.
Actually the Soviet Army was always superior in combat most of the time compared to the poorly trained Mujahids and it was a political defeat not a military one
You still laughing today, bro?
@Аzamat Tahev today usa running tail between legs
@Аzamat Tahev There aren't 49 NATO countries and the government in Afghanistan was Afghan, not Western. They actually ELECTED their leaders. Look up the word 'elected.'
@Аzamat Tahev finally a worthy answer
They are more happy in defeat than victory
