The city folk: "We Live In A Society!" The rural folk: "We Live In A Community!"

[@StephenButlerOne]

Perfect analogy.

As a country boy, that's pretty much spot on. I hate living in town.

[@suzanneleblanc858]

@@fireline4765 I was raised in the country (Rural western Canada) and now live in the city (still in western Canada) I love both, but dislike the way both sides think "my way or the highway" and think that the other is small minded.

[@RasakBlood]

More like Rural = more religious conservative nut jobs that threatened by change allow themselves to be manipulated and used by dictators while the majority of the general public suffers for these twisted and childish ideas of glory.

[@y__h]

You don't have to get public support if they don't even care.

[@lolmanboss]

Never mind the 100years war. (even though it wasnt 100)

[@pinheadlarry1977]

And the war in Afghanistan literally has no clear objective, it's hard to win a war when u don't know what the end goal is

@@pinheadlarry1977 I beleive the goal is to build a self-sustaining nation, potentially try and bring it back to how it was before the Soviet-Afghan war....clearly we're doing a great job huh?

[@freddieallen7842]

Just what I needed, I'm studying The Kite Runner for English and that is set during the Soviet-Afghan war. Thanks Mr Terry!

[@RC99_Productions]

I'd love to see more reactions from Feature History. I recommend their videos on the "The Troubles" in Ireland, "The Rwandan Genocide" and "The Fall Of Yugoslavia". I also recommend a history youtube channel called "General Knowledge" where they talk about the history of certain country's flags, ideals and what-if scenarios concerning said countries. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

[@aamj0050]

Love this video. I would suggest their video on the Iran-Iraq war as well. great reaction

Damn it’s the weekend and Mr. Terry is still on that teacher time!

before corona, mr terry already my favorite history teacher😄 that's right, lot of people need his explanation cuz homework never stop😂

[@beedubree2550]

Feature History makes such good videos dude. Defintiely one of the biggest factors in getting me interested in history

[@Cykeys]

As mentioned in the other video, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Feature History's video on Chechen Wars.

[@kayzeaza]

If you’ve never seen it ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’ is a great movie with Tom Hanks about arming them Afghans against the Soviets

[@Yora21]

The James Bond movie The Living Daylights partly takes place in Afghanistan during the war, with Mujahideen fighters as dodgy allies of the heroes and the opium trade playing a major role. It's quite interesting how it touches about the questionable ethics of western involvement for a movie that came out in 1987.

[@LordBaldur]

Sabaton has a song about a battle in the Soviet-Afghan War and it's called Hill 3234.

[@The_Mantimoose]

Landed on the hilltop, soviet forces are in place, Awaiting orders!

[@amethystgamer852]

They were only 39 They were told to hold the line In control

[@tancreddehauteville9983]

Probably propaganda, I mean they had over 200,000+ men deployed at one stage, so it was actually the Afghan resistance which were at a disadvantage due to Soviet superior training and firepower.

[@stone5048]

Last time I was here you were at 199k subs, congrats on reaching 200k! I remember when I first showed up you were down around 20k so happy to see your channel take off.

[@ysafghan6686]

Thanks for reacting to this. As and Afghan, this is REALLY REALLY big for me. I have really strong opinions on this topic. It's sad how a developing (westernizing) country gets indulged in war that they don't want. This war has corrupt the country to this day.

[@firewave1158]

Yea dude gl its hurt to see extremists who dont do what islam says but they say they are true muslims massacred ur country best lucks from egypt

I came to this channel just watching the ERB reactions for entertainment. I figured I'd watch one of your more educational videos and... yeah, this was really interesting and informative.

[@kahleot1277]

I always watched history videos on KZbin and wondered what my history teachers would've thought about them so I'm glad I found mr. Terry history channel he really brings more discussion to these topics from these videos I'ved watched

[@KangarooJack96]

Hi mr terry just wanted to say a massive thank you for raiding my stream today :) cant wait to watch more of your videos they are really interesting

[@gunslinger1911a1]

Mujaheddin (or Mujahideen), or just the Muj, means Those Who Fight, (far as I remember). We then used those of the Northern Alliance to fight in Afghanistan. A mess but that's just history in a microcosm.

[@Tombobreaker]

Has anyone else noticed the audio of Mr.Terry's videos is down? I have to turn my PC's audio up to listen to him at a decent level, then I forget it's cranked watch anything else and blow out my eardrums

[@赤青白]

Hey, would you consider reacting to Feature History's "Fall of Yugoslavia"? It's quite a well done video. I feel like the topic is often overlooked, and it shouldn't be. Understanding what lead to the war could help us prevent another one (which seems more and more likely all the time).

[@TheSvartalfheim]

@Mr. Terry History amazing video, I am in love with your reaction channel! I know that you are a Sabaton fan (yay!) and they cover a lesser-known battle of the war in their video Hill 3234 on the Last Stand album. The Soviet-Afghan War is definitely one of these less talked about wars that have a huge impact on global politics. As you have touched upon, there is the current War on Terror and the expansion of radicalized Islamic fighters into different conflicts. But further, you have the change in American political policies at the start of the war and its impacts on the current American political structure (Reagononmic, massive military spending and the move into "fight them not politic them" mentality); the Islamicization and civil wars of Central Asian following the dissolution of the Soviet Union (exacerbated by Russian and Stalinistic policies of using borders to form minorities out of majority ethnic groups) and other issues. Once again, great video and keep being a student of history!

[@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871]

As a not american I didnt knew at all this story, I only knew about the revolutions and wars within the middle east, but they always skip the reasons and connections to the US and soviets, I always felt like there was not enough reason to have this big wars and jihad ideology, but now I get it.

[@pancholopez8829]

I recommend you also watch both the Soviet War in Afghanistan The War that Changed, and What if the Soviet War in Afghanistan never happened, both by Alternate History Hub.

[@trafichat]

even china called it an invasion.

[@DOSFS]

China, at that point, has already split from Soviet influence and didn't like each other anymore.

[@agentc7020]

Well, considering they didn’t see eye to eye anymore I don’t think that’s surprising

They have 2 videos about the chechen wars also. React to them.

[@diosyntaxa]

Context is everything :) I remember when the US assassinated (drone strike? I forget) some Iranian general in Iraq and someone made some remark about how that was payback finally for the embassy... When I replied (after reading up a bit more on the history of Iran I realized they didn't know the context of what had happened before the revolution...

Post-modern art in the 70’s an 80’s was freaking wild, haha.

[@karsonkammerzell6955]

This is a really important thing. Osama was a hero to many after the Soviet-Afghan war and heralded as such by his home country of Saudi Arabia. Later on Iraq invaded Kuwait threatening Saudi Arabia prompting them to request US aid. Osama went to the Saudi king and basically said they shouldn't let outsiders meddle in Saudi affairs and to let him and his fighters handle it. The country said no and continued pursuing US assistance. Osama seemed to turn that into the growing and intense hatred for the US which led to Al Qaida's sudden swell and threat to western ideals and the US.

[@johnx4133]

What no? Osama and most middle easterners were seen as a nuisance by Afghan Fighters. You need to remember these guys are rural and dont have many connections with the outside world. Afghans aren't too keen on foreigners. Also Bin Laden didnt do any fighting nor did he receive training. He was a businessman who was there to provide aid to groups he liked.

did the USA really officially declare war on the taliban? because somewhere in the back of my head i rememebr that for multiple decades now noonoe really declared war anymore mainly because interventions are way easier to sell to the population as naming it as it is and declaring "war"

The video would have been perfect had it explained why Al Qaeda turned on the US. Like what made them attack the US specifically, because it would be stupid to assume that they did just because the US wasn't Muslim. They could have attacked anywhere else in the wolrd if that were the reason.
