A CIA "video briefing" for President Reagan on the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, likely dated 1981 (soon after Reagan's inauguration). Declassified and released 2 Nov 2011 at the "Ronald Reagan, Intelligence, and the End of the Cold War" symposium at the Reagan Presidential Library. From symposium notes: "This was the first time the Agency used videos on a regular basis to deliver intelligence to the policymaker, and this collection marks the first substantial release of such material in one of [the CIA's] historical collections."

  • This comedy video fails to mention the fact that the USA and Israel were funding the "mujahideen" well before the Soviet invasion and the fact that the Communists brought Afghanistan out of an age of ignorance, that is why they (the western imperialists, namely the USA) brought in the feudalists, the capitalists wanted a weak and ignorant Afghanistan.

  • Watch this Video and Compare yesterday's United Nations to today's United Nations whgich is purely working for the Israel and USA. Why this United Nations is not asking United State Army to leave Afghanistan that they were pressurising USSR army to leave Afghanistan!

  • Yesterday's freedom fighters in Afghanistan is today's terrorists for the United State of America.

  • These heros who defeated USSR for United State of American is called terrorist today which is shame for the CIA and Western Countires!

  • I am sure the master copy of this Documentry Video is in United States CIA files and well aware that no super power can rule Afghanistan so it is just pointless that United State is wasting billions and bilions of dollars on this endless war in Afghanistan!

  • afghanistan is for afghan poissen for foriengh  speacial pakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  • @Fransis: No matter. Reagan probably wasn't awake for most of this video (he said with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek).

  • Afghanistan is nothing but an Frankenstein for USA 

  • the map of Pakistan is wrong....
