"Cold War" (Episode #24, "Soldiers of God, 1975-1988"), Turner Original Productions (Time Warner), 1998
About the "Cold War" 24-episode series:
If anything defined the 20th century as the age of anxiety, it's the cold war with its ultimate no-win nuclear endgame. While conflicts in Korea and Vietnam dragged on, providing the traditional images of modern warfare, some of the conflict's most dangerous battles were invisible--tactical, intellectual, and fought primarily in the minds and war rooms of U.S. and Soviet leaders: Kennedy, Krushchev, Castro, Kissinger, Gorbachev, and Reagan. This 24-episode series, narrated by Kenneth Branagh, is a comprehensive history that examines the key events of the arc of the Soviet Union, from its birth to its fall, and provides a thorough analysis of what was going on behind closed doors. Informed by the stories of 500 eyewitnesses--from citizens and soldiers to historians and statesmen--and strengthened by painstaking reconstruction of archival historical film footage, "Cold War" is a heroic undertaking and a sweeping chronicle of the world's most fragile decades.

@RomanRus79 Look up Ron Paul and think twice about that statement.

Russia should've won The taliban are a bunch of fools.

Always the name of Allah, but Allah know nothing a about the killing of women and children, by the group called themselves, the Tali ben (student of God)

Without the help of the West and US, Mujjjahideens were nothing. At the end they turn around and kill own people in the name of Allah. Tali ben government treaded their citizen, kid and women as animals. They do not appreciate the technology but they pray to Gun as God

To win the war around that area, it is easy. Just use the Mongolian way
