Afghanistan was a good place for the Soviet Union. Centered on Afghanistan, a "mountain country" with lofty mountains and mountains, from the geographical point of view, to the south is Pakistan, which is a flat river, extending to the Indian Ocean; to the west, is the Deccan Plateau of Iran, which connects Europe, Asia, and Africa. Continent, geopolitically known as the "world island center" of the Arabian Peninsula - not to mention that there is rich oil and natural gas; eastward, across the watershed-style border, can easily threaten China and the flat terrain of South Asia subcontinent. From the perspective of the Soviet Union's strategic interests and its own geographical location, there is no better geographical "springboard" than Afghanistan. In view of this, Mr. Brezhnev finally made the penultimate major decision in his lifetime (the penultimate one was to prepare for the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations, but he died soon)-to send troops to Afghanistan. The war started in 1979 and ended in 1989 for ten years. The Soviet Union was caught in the "sea of people's war" in Afghanistan and eventually had to withdraw.
The Soviets are gone, the Americans are here again. In 2001, under the pretext of "911 Incident", the United States launched the so-called "war on terror". The goal of the first stage of the war is to successfully realize the control of the US military over Afghanistan, and enable the US to obtain the "lease rights" of air bases in the former Soviet Union countries in Central Asia. In this way, the U.S., a dream that the Soviet Union did not realize, was realized at once, and it also threatened the security of Russia and China. Further, the United States has controlled Iraq, realized a substantial presence in the Arabian Peninsula, and controlled the "world island center".
