  1.  @-AxisA-  The Soviet economy was actually larger than that of the US economy in terms of GDP PPP. you cannot measure the economy of communist countries and compare it with capitalist countries. Because GDP nominal measures services and goods. In the USSR, healthcare is free, and any type of treatment wont be counted into the nominal because the government pays for it, while in the US, that same treatment would cost 50,000 dollars, which is why the US economy looks so large, but it isnt actually as big as you think.

  5. 44:02, US officials are not a good source as they are bias, the number, according to independent estimates, is likely around 40-50k killed.

  9. @@LTNetjak What??? The Soviets absolutely wiped the floor with the mujahideen everytime they fought, but, as usual, the mujahedeen would escape back to their caves and wait them out and the Soviets withdrew due to political reasons. In no way did the Afghan war show that the Soviet Army was weak. But it is incredible how hypocritical you are. Because in 10 years in Afghanistan, the Soviets suffered just 9,500 combat deaths and a handful of equipment while killing 100k Mujahedeen fighters. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, the US, despite doing less than 20% of the fighting, suffered almost 60,000 combat deaths in just 8 years while losing 10,000 aircraft. If anything, the Vietnam war showed that the US is far from what propaganda showed them to be, and is why US generals concluded that the only way to stop the Soviet Army was to use tactical nukes. Not even that, but the US also lost in Afghanistan just recently. So, in what way did the Soviet-Afghan war showed that the Soviet Army was weak in some way?
