What's the Biggest Deal in World History?

During the cold war, this sort of using third countries as proxies, if you will. In afghanistan, the russians, the soviets did get dragged into it. It was very much like our situation in the sense that they were able to get control of things in the major centers pretty quickly. But then how do you leave and have it not be messy? Right? How do you gain enough security so the government you leave behind has a chance of standing on its own two feet and resisting? I means all theseand they run into the same problems we did, tribalism andemic corruption. The rest, by the way, is history.
