Opinions on President Carter's response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 vary. Some argue he overreacted by implementing measures such as the embargo on grain exports to the USSR and increasing military aid to Afghan resistance fighters, viewing these actions as escalatory. Others contend that his response was necessary to counter Soviet expansionism and protect U.S. interests in the region. Ultimately, the effectiveness and proportionality of his reaction continue to be subjects of debate among historians and political analysts.
