remember the August of 2008, when then newly elected Medvedev moved 1 mln man army into a 4 mln man nation of Georgia?
if soviets really wanted to commit to war in afgan, there would be no ethnic afganis left... like, ethnic talysh... or ethnic assirians... how often have you heard about those?
soviets were tippy-toeing with the war, and after death of Brezhnev in 1982, wanted to get out (with exemption of Andropov rule, he had a very tight grip on the ussr. even almost started a nuclear war with US during NATO"s Able Archer war game)
