Russia got their butt kicked in Afghanistan by a bunch of hi-tech goat herders. I doubt there is too much love for that country by ol KGB bad boy Pooootie.

It's obvious all pootie wants is a fat swiss a/c and his ol soviet union back by hook or crook. If he can't get it he will sell out to the chicoms and become a russian subsidiary of china.corp.

Russia never left Afghanistan - and the Soviets were never defeated their militarily.

From: How the Soviets Won in Afghanistan: And how the U.S. will winBy Dr. Jack Wheeler

Won? Huh? The Soviets lost in Afghanistan, didn't they? They were humiliated and defeated in the Afghan quagmire that the US would helplessly sink into if it invaded now, right?

Nope - the Soviets won in Afghanistan. The famed Mujahaddin had slunk back to the refugee camps in Pakistan, demoralized, dejected, and defeated. I was there, I saw it. It was August, 1986, and the Mujhaddin had given up. The Soviets had won.

Dr. Wheeler has been called the "real Indiana Jones" by the Wall St. Journal, the "creator of the Reagan Doctrine" by the Washington Post, and an "ideological gangster" by the Soviet press. He has traveled to 180 countries and all seven continents, and leads 3 to 4 expeditions a year.
