The U.S. response to Soviet actions in Afghanistan and Poland differed significantly. In Afghanistan, the U.S. provided support to rebel forces (Mujahideen) fighting against the Soviet-backed government, leading to a proxy war between the two superpowers. In Poland, the U.S. condemned Soviet actions but did not provide direct support to rebels as it did in Afghanistan. The U.S. response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was more direct and involved military and covert actions, while the response to Soviet actions in Poland was more diplomatic and focused on condemning the violation of sovereignty.
