Where do you get that information? What do you mean on defeated? Haven't the USSR controlled the biggest part of Afghanistan when Gorbachev has agreed to stop this useless war? Do you know how long the Afghanistan government formed by the USSR has been able to hold out without ANY help (even financial) from Soviets? Dig the facts please and you will be surprised. The
Amin's government has been overthrown. Najibullah took power in Afghanistan. Soviet army has controlled almost the whole country (not even comparable with the current USA situation there). Soviets were able to continue controlling the country and supporting Najibullah as long as they consider it necessary.
Goals have changed. Army was withdrawn. Mission accomplished.
