One similarity between Vietnam and Afghanistan, is the use of biological weapons on their targets, and the deafening silence of the US government. How many people even guess at the horror which was unleashed in those impoverished areas? The Soviets supplied helicopters and agent to eradicate the Hmong people in Laos who had been fighting alongside the US soldiers. this agent, known as "yellow rain" caused the victims to bleed out in a way similar to Ebola virus. In Afghanistan, a variety of agents were used some which caused illness and death in known ways, and one, which was used on families hidden in caves, would make the people look as if they had been baked in an oven until their limbs fell away from their torsos.

No comparison between The Afghan War and the Vietnam War. Our system handled the chaos of Vietnam while the Soviet system crumbled in the Afghan mess. The Soviet's economic system wasn't strong enough to handle the mountain fighters in Afghanistan and the Ronald Reagan administration of nuclear arms build up.

The Soviets killed greater of their very own people than the Nazis did. The Nazis fairly copied their dying camps from the Soviet camp gadget. Stalin became into so obsessed with "enemies of the state" that he wiped out an excellent style of the inhabitants of Ukraine. the united statesS.R. could have been allies with Nazi Germany if Hitler did no longer produce different plans.
