Press TV: The last head of state
of the former Soviet Union, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, has warned
the US of an imminent Soviet-like collapse if Washington persists with
its hegemonic policies.
Speaking at a Thursday conference on the future of the Middle East
and the Black Sea region in the Turkish city of Istanbul, Gorbachev
noted that disintegration was the atonement that the former Soviet Union
made for its mistakes and the same fate awaits the US if Washington
continues to repeat similar blunders.
On 26 December, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first and largest Communist state, was formally dissolved into fifteen independent republics, marking an end to the Cold War.
He said the Soviet Bolsheviks sought to undermine Islamic values while in power, and noted that during the Cold War era, the world powers used religion as a tool and a weapon.
The United States and its allies launched the war on Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but after 11 years, the foreign troops have still not been able to establish security in the country. Source

Gorbachev denounced the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan during the Cold War era as an “unpardonable mistake” and pointed out that the US is now repeating the same mistake.
