Afghan SSR

The Soviet Union was the world's left-wing superpower of the 20th century, but as with all superpowers there must be another to counter it. The United States held position of that counterpart, and in the last battle of the Cold War, America bred an all new enemy just in time for the demise of the USSR. But what if this didn't happen? What would have happened if the US never helped the "freedom fighters"?
