The USSR lost in Afghanistan, to a US armed Taliban. The Taliban did not emerge until 5 years after the USSR left the country.

  Are you saying Mariupol is not being rebuild? The point is you're sharing a link to an obvious propaganda piece, put out by the same folks who destroyed Mariupol in the first place. Like it's some great revelation that explains everything.

      Yeah, poor kids. But you're an adult (per your bio), and are choosing to fall for fascist propaganda. The only difference is that its colors are red and blue, rather than blue and gold.

        > How can you bend you mind to the extend that I'm propagandized and that the Russians are the fascists here? That's a great question to ask on a day when Russia conducted another major missile attack on Kyiv. Among apartment buildings and businesses and many other places that were damaged, a children's hospital for cancer was hit and about 70% destroyed as a result. The entire hospital lost water, power and oxygen supply. It was one of the best hospitals in Central and Eastern Europe for treating children with blood cancer. At the time of writing this, emergency services and local volunteers are searching for survivors among the rubble.

"Propagandized" feels a far too weak word to describe such detachment from the observable reality.
