President Jimmy Carter - Speech Regarding The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan

39th US President Jimmy Carter condemning the imperiliast invasion by the Soviets, citing their desire to control the region and its resources - unfortunately those who came after him seemed to desire the same thing once the only other super power crumbled.

  • "It is a deliberate effort of a powerful atheistic government to subjugate an independent Islamic people. "

  • "..attempting to conquer the fiercely independent Muslim people of that country. "

    "The Soviets claim, falsely, that they were invited into Afghanistan to help protect that country from some unnamed outside threat....Only several days later was the new puppet leader even brought into Afghanistan by the Soviets."

    "A Soviet-occupied Afghanistan threatens both Iran and Pakistan and is a steppingstone to possible control over much of the world's oil supplies."

  • Filled with propoganda known to be false.

    Soviets enterred Afghanistan after 3 cries for help from the Afghanistan govenrment.

    Prior to Soviet troop present, the CIA and Pakistani intelligence was sponsoring the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan to fight the Communist government.

    Propoganda rubbish.

  • @MadnessUponMadness lol. imagine hearing that in the news today... of course, NEVER !!

  • I thought the U.S. governement was a powerfull atheist goverenment. On the surface the U.S. governement might act as if its Christian but behind the scenes it might be atheist. Btw, Israel did 9/11 to cause a catastrophical military backlash against Muslim countries. In this they succeeded.

  • "Aggressive military policy"? Afghanistan was the only country that USSR bombed during Cold War. America bombed Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Iraq (the heaviest aerial bombing in history), the list goes on. The USSR had a 1000-mile border with Afghanistan and the Afghanis lived like 5 centuries before. If the Soviet Union had wanted to conquer the country it would have swallowed it whole in no time. They intervened because a hateful ideology was spread that could infect 40 million of its own citizens.

  • google "how jimmy carter and i started the mujahideen"

  • yes soviet entered to afghanistan and you asshole created these criminal and murderer Mujahadeen and al qeda to fight them which they killed million of poor people.

  • neither can the world stand by and permit the united states to commit this act with impunity.
