As some may know, the Soviet Union and Cuba sent troops to several armed conflicts in Africa during the Cold War. One being the Ogaden War, the other being the Angolan Civil War. The question posed here is while these thousands of troops are off fighting, a chain of events occurs that leads to a conventional third world war, soon followed by a full nuclear escalation between NATO and the WP. So what would these forces do? Carve a path back home? Stay in these countries and try to maintain order/finish their mission?
