Hmmm... The Soviet Union collapsed 2.5 years after the war in
Afghanistan ended. The Russian economic crisis that followed
bottomed in 1998 with an 80% fall of the ruble in 1 day.
We may have ways to go, DOW/GOLD ratio should
hit a secular bottom at around 1. We ARE in a very severe
banking crisis right now, and it will likely deepen and lead
to an economic crisis. Gold says so -ng- I hope there will
be no new war, cause we really can't afford it.

"The initial Soviet deployment of the 40th Army in Afghanistan
began on December 25, 1979. The final troop withdrawal began
on May 15, 1988, and ended on February 15, 1989. Due to the
high cost and ultimate futility of this conflict, the war in
Afghanistan has often been referred to as the Soviet
equivalent of the United States' Vietnam War.

The war had a profound impact in the Soviet Union, and has
been cited as one of the key factors in the collapse of the
Soviet Union in 1991.[6]"
