The Soviet Union moved its army form Afghanistan because Gorbachev wanted to show a gesture of a good will to the western countries, the same as with breaking the Berlin Wall. We all thought the new time has came and the cold war is in past.

BTW, if Soviet Army wasn't withdrawn from Afghanistan by Gorbachev, the NY Twins will remain unhurt and there will be no 9/11. Sad but true.

As about the thread tittle - it looks like a total BS. Russia won't fight against Iran. So the question should be corrected:

Iran vs the USA - who will come out as winner? No Nuke

Your thoughts?
