President Jimmy Carter just minutes before he addressed the nation from the Oval Office at the White House in Washington by radio and television, Jan. 4, 1980. The president announced a complete halt of shipments of U.S. high technology to the Soviet Union and a partial embargo on American grain sales because of the Russian intervention in Afghanistan.

Conditions in Afghanistan are getting worse, 15 years into a war that few Americans talk about any more. That’s preventing the clean ending that President Barack Obama hoped to impose before leaving office. Violence is on the rise, the Taliban are staging new offensives, the Islamic State group is angling for a foothold and peace prospects are dim. (AP Photos/Abdul Khaliq, File) (AP)
