As it says on the tin. I'm curious what people think the effects of a Soviet victory in Afghanistan would be.
As to the path to victory, let's say either the Soviets equip their army better, employ better tactics, or restrict themselves to economic and training support of the Afghan government (which, from what I have read, was probably their best path to victory).
I'm particularly interested in what people think the regional implications of a victory - how it would effect India, Pakistan and Iran.
And is there any particular year that a Soviet victory would have a particularly large impact? Or is it simply a matter of "the sooner the better"?
