@AlexLlondoner thats right Russians were far better fighters now america has support of 40 countries and taliban are just 10,000 or 15000 but still they are unable to subdue taliban, which shows that afghanistan is really a hard nut to crack
before you folks get too excited, this was a different war from what america is doing because when russia came to afghanistan every single afghan wanted to fight them but now only like 10% of stupid people that are taliban are fighting the americans so it is different.
all peacful countrys like america and russia need to just let afghanistan rot, thats why terrorist use it as there base to plot evil attacks on peacful countrys because it is just a backward place still living in the dark ages with a weird dogma in vodoo.

The story in all three clips seems the same as of todays US and its allies presence in Afghanistan. YOu just need to change the names and thats it. The Soviets were their to fight the Islamists to build schools and to teach the women. The Coaltions claim the same. Its the Sovieits changed into Coaltions (US) but the country occupied is the same ( Afghanistan). And the Mujahideen changed into Taliban. As an Afghan i dont see any difference at all. So the end is wait and see.
Why can't all white brothers Americans,Russians,German (ect) get along and destroy a common enemy the terrorist in the middle east because thats what they do
@babydick626 correction russians hate americans germans hate russians russians supply middle east countries like iran with nukes america is scared of iran because of that and thats why iran is the next big super power so ur fantasy is bullshit in every1s eyes keep dreaming fat american boy
@123rezo123 Oh im aware of of leftover weapons being supplied to anti american groups but I think your being a little stereotypical about the whole hate thing example Russia has the largest Neonazi movement going on and they also have neonazis in their government & another thing I'm not fat I'm Czech and Polish and I happen to live in USA. You want to say fat american why don't you pick on the Swedish.
i wanted an unbiased account of the soviet afghan war, and i was a bit let down by this. It almost acts as the Soviets are the ONLY country to have targeted civillians, as if the US hadnt just done that in Vietnam and as if they are not doing that in Afghanistan right now, and also, there were never half a million soviets in Afghanistan, and Mujahadeen means "strugglers" not "soldiers of god"
if the russians won, 9-11 would have not happened. 9-11 is the u.s. fault because they supported these rebels who turned afganistan into a medieval country
@dopetrip420 Not true, 9/11 was not committed by Northern alliance forces- the ones who faced off against the soviet empire. In fact, the almost all of the hijackers where Saudis, as was Bin laden.
The Taliban who has originally been a small group, was supplied by pakistan while the Northern alliance did most of the fighting. It is pakistan's fault the taliban got into power. The soviets had nothing to do with 9/11 happening and America did not either.
All Russian soldiers were baby killers and thugs of Russia. The People in Russia were right that, the soldiers were definitely, murderers. As a result, they have learned their lesson.
starting at 0:52 ... Word up!!! This is how we all should look at it... when you've sworn an oath you are obliged to go... The politicians however are ver very much to blame...
INSHALLAH america will see the same days as the ussr.americans wer the one building the war between Afghans and the ussr.the ussr got their punisment for the bad things that they did in afghanistan nw america is left and nw they r recieving their punishment by their own creation(talibaan)..they both america and ussr is responsible for the killing of afghan civilions.they will INSHALLAH GET THEIR REWARD AND INSHALLAH ALLAH(GOD) WILL PROTECT MY COUNTRY.america and ussr government is the terrrorist
the USSR supported a government tht was miles better than anything islam had to offer....i think afghanistan got wot it deserved millions of dead INSSALAH afghanistan will keep suffering under the hands of pathetic wahabis and talibans.
the only thing the taliban are doing is killing other muslims in afghanistan and pakistan so INSHALLAH tht tht keeps going on.
@naveedngr Doens't that depend on your point of view? One man's Freedom Fighter is another's terrorist? I know we are being fed the same kind of propaganda telling us that you guys are the terrorists.
IMHO, if no one changes his rhetoric, I feel we'll be in the trenches for a long, long time....
As long as the money and weapons keep coming into the rebels the US/afghan war will continue.
I would hate to see the Taliban come back to power; for the sake of the people. I think the US should stay in for the long haul. It will take about 1-2 generations to get the Taliban mind-set out of the Afghan population.
i know what u mean but da mujahideen were not like da talibans they were very good people but da talibnas they r just a bad name 4 islam.......God is not n their side!!!
The reason we're in Afghanistan is to stop the Taleban, and to train the Afghan army to keep the Taleban away, and restore order to your nation. The lies about us wanting to occupy Afghanistan is a lie. Most British and American people want our troops out of there anyway, its not really any of our business what you guys get up to ^^
i know u people r there 2 help us ,but y r americans sending their soldiers n afghanistan cause we r ur probs so dont say that u dont have any business with AFGHANISTAN!!!!!!!!
Its important that you understands that i'm completely against the presence of foreign troops in ANY country. I don't care about the fact that western governments seem to dislike the way your nations are run. I would be just as pissed off if your Islamic nations decided to invade western nations, because you disagree with the way that we live our lives. Infact, I'd probably join the resistance. I completely understand brother!
we need foreign troops n Afghanistan not just 4ourselves but also 4 da american people. if da americans leave Afghanistan....u saw what happened n 9/11, it will repeat itself but only if da americans leave afghanistan...
The whole reason Americans were attacked is because they interfere, and behave like the world police. The West can completely eliminate terrorist threat, by removing a significant amount of Immigrants. This needs to happen particularly in the UK. We're overcrowded, and with the birth rate of immigrants, we'll be completely swamped in a matter of a decade.
the us isant collapsing, they never had an empire, serves russia right for trying to keep control of the eastern block when the people living thier ated the soviet union and everything it stood for
hell to the yeah! i was born in that crap hole ussr, my country was occupied by urlas for 50 years. glad to see they lost the war, if that contributed to the demise of the soviet union
Its funny. Everytime I watch these videos of Soviet struggle in Afghanistan it brings to mind about the US struggle in Afghanistan. History repeats itself. Now were actually seeing the collapse of the US empire. Thanks Afghanistan. thanks for liberating us.
why were the russians there in the first place????????????? wat the fucs wrong with them!!! all other nations should learn not to mess with afghans!!! we can handle our OWN COUNTRY ON OUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!! So all nations FUC OFF
Pay attetion to history kid. USSR would get a big advantage if they controlled Afghanistan. Besides, is support some of the things the Russians did, like trying to learn women to read, tho they wreaked mostly havok and destruction. And ''You'' are not able to take properly care of you're country.
womens were always allowed 2 read nd write in afghanistan nd da reason y we were never able 2 take care of our own country was because of foreign interference n AFGHANISTAN...
Where exactly are you writing from. Last i heard computers were only used by infidels, and shouldn't you be praying to your god "Allah". i would have greater respect for you if you would blow yourself up for 76 Ripe Grapes as they are not virgins you are dying for nor salvation, you are dying for the suffering of others.
@reza4 Nazis killed of ideology; they killed innocent, defenceless civilians by capturing them, looting them , making them work and then when they couldnt go any further, suffocating them todeath and often burying people alive if they didnt suffocate. There is a difference here. In guirella wars there are more collateral casualties. The intent of these soldiers was not to kill civilians. The intent is the difference here compared to nazia,you are confusing collateral damage and genocide.
The ISAF would have been in and out of Afghanistan by now if the United States had stayed the course. But no, had to get that Saddam guy out of there after the CIA put him there back in 68 -- he wasn't the subordinate fellow they hoped he'd be.
Someone in US politics should have listened to Eisenhower when he was warning of how the Industrial Military Complex could strangle your democracy.
No they won't. The lives we have lost in both Iraq and Afghanistan don't even equal the lives lost by the soviets over the same time period in Afghanistan alone.
the russian number of casualties is more then conservative. they simply lied.
more to the point the US won ever major battle in the vietnam war. another point is that they were defending the south. if they were allowed by politicians to finish the job then the war could have been over in a couple years.
so the soviet soldiers were "helping" afghanistan? not the politicians? I thought the soldiers were just following orders. as soon as they say what they were doing was right then they should be demonized.
Its horrible how the Soviet troops in Afghanistan were treated when they returned. Rather than praising their efforts to help Afghanistan into the 21st century, the Kremlin bureaucrats eager to please the West pulled the troops out, by which they got domestic support by demonizing these Red Army soldiers. They then sold the USSR out, threw their party cards away, which was a door slam in the faces of these soldiers.
exactly i totally agree with you! why the hell were the russians there in the first place?? from wat i hear afghanistan was peaceful before the soviet union came!!
Wat= What You heard wrong the Communist party in Afghanistan asked for Soviet involvement, as fundamentalist forces were having greater influence in governmental policies. Therefore The Soviet Union like America responded, as the USSR and US both saw that they were liberating oppressed people in each occasion.
