This presentation examines the similarities and differences between the Soviet War in Afghanistan and Russia's War in Ukraine. It describes the West's — especially America's — reaction to each invasion. It covers how the invasions and the counteractions to the invasions have had lasting and unintended consequences that continue to reverberate.
