You failed to mention that Poland was an aggressor in 1919 and her attack was repelled, in 1940 Finland has lost the war, and I have no idea where the myth that the Soviets lost in Afghanistan comes from. They certainly didn’t run away from the Embassy in helicopter.

You are right, Russia did not “run away from the Embassy in helicopters”. Gorbachev was smart enough to see they were loosing, and worked with international agencies to negotiate an orderly withdrawal. This detailed link on the whole 10 year disaster Russia conducted in Afghanistan to support a Communist ruler, shows how they made mistakes similar to those they are making in Ukraine. This included frequent killing of women and children, rape, torture, and other crimes against humanity. The link has almost 500 references for documentation. Soon after they left, the Communist Afghan ruler was captured, tortured, and executed by the Taliban. I doubt the current ruler(s) in Russia you support will exercise such good sense.

The bridge they ran away across was a land one rather than air. The date was February 15, 1989. 47 years have passed since the fall of Saigon, and the USA is still here. The USSR lasted barely two after their troops left Afghanistan with their tails between their legs...
