Do you realize that the same crap is written on the US operation in Iraq? Doesn’t make any of it truth.
According to a recent Guardian article about the US withdrawal from Afghanistan civilian casualties of that war total 35-40,000.
The Guardian is not commonly considered to be a pro-US news outlet.
A study published by the Watson Institute of International & Public Affairs at Brown University puts civilian casualties of the US involvement in Iraq at between 184,000 and 207,000, caused by the US and allied nations and Iraqi police and military forces.
The figures for US and Soviet inflicted casualties are not comparable, despite the much longer commitment of forces by the US.
For the record, I was against US involvement in both Iraq wars and in Afghanistan as no US vital interests were at stake.
I did and do support US aid to anybody willing to take arms against Communist tyranny.
I don’t believe their was ever such a thing as a “Soviet” people, there were numerous peoples oppressed by the Soviet government, aided by quislings from among the oppressed populations, including the Russian people.
