The successful launching of the soviet satellite is an overwhelmingly important event—against our side….within the past thirty days we have been treated to as skillfully executed an example of psychological or political warfare orchestration as i have ever seen.…the first note was the arrival of the soviet jet airliner….the second was the announcement of the successful testing of their icbm. the third was the earth satellite. the fourth was the announcement of the setting off of a hydrogen bomb. the fifth will be another bigger and better earth satellite….you will notice the skillful alteration of war and peace—coexistence and atomic blackmail. you will also notice that all these items convey…soviet success. the u. s. has either failed or not yet succeeded.

I reckon for this given problem statement,Russia and united states have achieved a great success.Because in that era cold war has begun between Russian government and united states government and in that scenario Afghanistan has to suffer a lot.
