- The Cold War: When nuclear weapons kept the entire world on the edge of M.A.D. - Mutually Assured Destruction. As Russia, China and the USA flex their military muscles on the global stage today, ‘M.A.D. World’ takes a close look at the last time we were threatened by the might of world superpowers: The Cold War.
In this episode:
- Just as détente seems to be working and the Cold War is thawing, the West is outraged when Soviet troops move into Afghanistan. The USA immediately offers arms and support to the anti-government rebels, the Mujahideen.
- World Champion boxer, Muhammed Ali is the face of the Olympic boycott as he leads a US team to persuade nations to stay at home rather than compete in the Moscow Olympics. The boycott is seen as an international protest against Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
- Fear of global annihilation triggers mass demonstrations in cities across the globe and huge numbers of people join the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Governments seek to alleviate fears by building nuclear shelters and broadcasting nuclear war survival strategies.
- As Western money and weapons boost the rebels and hi-tech soviet weapons defend the government, the war in Afghanistan intensifies. An unusual group of Middle Eastern soldiers emerges - women. Allowed university education and employment under soviet rule they are prepared to fight to protect their new-found freedoms.
- On a winter’s night over Kamchatka, a civilian jumbo jet travelling from New York to Seoul disappears off the radar. It has been shot down by soviet fighters after it strayed into Russian airspace. 269 people are killed.

Again the title of the video is extremely misleading it mentions the flight only really in the last 3 minutes of the video. They need to do better.
I was just going to comment this. The flight was the only reason I watched this.
This seems pretty consistent for them. It's a poor sales pitch for History Hit if this is how they curate their videos.
Explain the reasoning of it being misleading. If you're here to complain then make a video about your reasoning or give solutions. Stop adding to the problem. I don't see anything wrong here. I know a lot about history but I watch these videos often and do my own research. You don't have to watch these videos but if you criticize something you best come out with a reason as to why. Otherwise you're not going to be heard. You'll only be someone who just complains about something over Nothing. There's plenty of other videos to watch in the same manner. So feel free to complain some more or at the very least entertain us as to a solution and link to what the title should be.
I agree, I thought it would be about the soviets shooting down an aircraft full of people because they thought it was a military spy plane.a lousy video.

Be prepared to hear an hour about Afghanistan and the last 2 minutes about flight 007.
Misleading title.
Agreed. Completely misleading.
This was actually interesting. The Afghanistan part, I didn't watch it that much about it.
This isn’t a good way to get subscribers. I wanted to see a documentary on KAL 007. Instead I get the Afghan-USSR fight. Thumbs down.
You guys should have titled this video differently.
Never watched the Olympic gsmes after that, thanks jimmy for making itbooliticsl
It seems that activity and success are related. Successful individuals never give up. They make mistakes, but they keep trying. As the severity of the economic situation grows, we genuinely need a variety of revenue streams. There are many opportunities in the stock markets and the area of blockchain technology to make a good career with the right abilities and understanding of how the market works.
In every way, what you said is true. With the right information and expert instruction, anyone may become enormously wealthy through the stock and virtual currency markets. Investors shouldn't simply observe the markets decline during periods of extraordinarily high market volatility. Working with a knowledgeable instructor will greatly increase the size of your portfolio. When it comes to accessibility and in-depth knowledge of the many financial business sectors, Andrew Glenn Adams has always been the financial analyst to turn to. You can locate him online if you conduct a little search.
@@Bridie_Aine The financial markets surely provide several opportunities, but I've learned enough over the years to be skeptical of the notion. Knowing where to focus is critical, and it would be worthwhile to see if Mr. Adams can truly help.
47 minutes of semi irrelevant prologue with 3 minutes of virtually no information about the KAL 007 shootdown. Well done.
Must have been a politician that thought up the video title.
My grandmother was supposed to be on that flight. My mom was the only one available to drive her to the airport, but she had a terrible feeling about it and refused. The whole family was angry. My grandfather and mother worked at the same company, and on that day all the TVs in the workplace were talking about this. My grandfather ran up to my mom and his hands were shaking uncontrollably. I don't believe in psychics or anything but I've never been able to explain that to myself.
It was a lie. The " I almost was on that flight " story is something boring people do to try to write themselves into historical events somehow
@@minorcek What about the guy who comes in throwing calling everyone a liar? Is he boring, too? 😂
@@minorcek YES Thank you
@@minorcek ok. I don't need or want your belief. After all, people love to say that interesting things that happen to others are a farce when their own lives are unremarkable. 🤷🏻♀️
It wasn't his time to go, God has everyone's time. He created us and he will take us whenever he wishes to. There's no luck or coincidence but God's will, he sends his angels to protect us from the evil spirits that surround this world.
Those who stand for global peace are not around long it seems. Great episode. Thanks.......
When global peace involves a government spending millions trying to kill the leader of another country and fails miserably what do you expect
Being born in 1959 I remember well the fear that we all lived with during the Cold War - even in Australia. It has made me a fatalist I'm afraid. If anything happens to annihilate the world, I do not want to survive it. Life would never be the same again, and I can't imagine living my life entirely underground in a shelter. No thanks. My only wish would be that the end would be quick.
I remember one of Gaddafi's agents did this exact same thing to a plane over Scotland, but he was from the Arab World so that means he was flawless and any evil thing he did was "muh Western propaganda".
My friends’ grandfather was supposed to be on this flight. His taxi ride to the airport got stuck in traffic resulting him in getting to the airport late, missed the flight, saved his life.
Informative video, excellent.
A now deceased relative of mine that was a USAF Intelligence officer told me at the time that the jet liner was equipped with ElInt equipment and purposely flew near the USSR Naval Base to collect intelligence. The South Korean gov't was in on the operation.
Well presented
Terrible is the only word I can use to review this. If the title had said it was a review of the cold war and the Olympic boycott, I actually might’ve enjoyed it. Provide the story that you say you are in the title.
what's the point of making a documentary only to blur out a bunch of it?
If i remember the capton
Kept that plain up for a lpng wile
After iy got taged buy the
Rocket ..a nightmaire .
That never needed to
Be 🙏🇨🇦
Dishonestly titled videos won’t do anything to gain new subscribers. Keep this up and I’ll unsubscribe. I’m sure many others will too.
My mothers uncles stepdaughters cousins aunties fifth step grandfathers uncles friends acquaintance was never on that flight, thank Merv.
If you're here for the plane accident skip to 47 minutes in.Not a bad watch, but the title is click-bait.
USA also did this with an Iran jet and at frist denied it.
#whataboutism
@@email5023 sorry?
My point guys is that it's not just a Soviet Union thing. USA has done something like it too.
It's better to just think of it as an unfortunate mistake than intentional or so ok?
Heck a better thing to say is why is it flying/travelling threw a no fly/etc zone. That is what I'd said about the Malaysia Air incident in 2014 for example.
7:00

6:14 😂

Is it possible the Russians wanted the poppy’s???😮
Ak-47
Not à sigle word of the Lion of Panshir ,the command Massoud . The Great Moudjahidin killed by 2 Al Qaida Algerian terrorists.
What a shame !
This man wants unlike the others Muslims. Girls and women should go to school
We were flying over secret Kamchatka military base!
Can you translate this video to Arabic language?? Please 😮❤😮
You can translate by yourself
Just read about how this plane was targeted by the CIA because some Democrat started talking about conspiracies and such.
Glory to the west
We should never let Russia be in the UN.
Who said Russia wants to be part of it sucker?
Tell that to the people that formed the UN after world war 2.
@SuperiorAmericanGuy - who is "we"?
The so called "West"? Why? It is not that West is better, with what they have been doing in Africa (even now with Blackwater mercenaries ir simply corporate interests), or South America - in the name of profit, money and the current/next year stock market prices. Long ago, aven Smedley Butler was vocal about it, in his speech in congress or his short "book". And not much has changed at the end.
China? Pretty much the same with their own geo-political approach.
And is not like West has a good history in any conflict, even US - and the list is long. At the end you can always start with Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Jana.
@@marvelmthembuvee2593 - who?
Russia itself. Read something from "The Foundations of Geopolitics" or something written by Kissinger, or even Chomsky.
Note: Not that Kissinger was a good guy as such, far from it - but his politics, written material, books, and ideas - shaped opinions and ideas of other powerfull people too. So was the case with Aleksandr Dugin and his influence on Putin and others (hence, the approach and geo-politics of Russia itself).
Edit: spelling & formatting
I am happy Russia is beating Ukraine Nazis now. Russia beat the Nazis in WWII also. From america, thank you!
Fake Putin Propoganda....
Keep telling yourself that....... Lol
You are deluded in thinking that.
Liar, you're from America like I'm from Mars.
I was on that flight.
Fake news.
