Afghanistan

Pendant une période comprise entre la défaite cinglante des États-Unis en Indochine (avril-mai 1975) et les craquements en chaîne dans les pays européens satellites de l’Union soviétique (notamment en Pologne, où l’état d’urgence est proclamé en décembre 1981), les Etats-Unis et l’Europe occidentale imaginent — ou font croire — que Moscou a lancé une grande offensive mondiale.
