One great debatable what-if scenarios is the USSR gaining control over Afghanistan in 1979. Would it have been better today?

I would have to say yes and no. One of the reasons they went in was the same reason we went in there and Iraq. The Russians were much more brutal than we are and would have surpressed them but there would have been no terror training camps. Maybe the answer is we might have been better off. I have read one or two very interesting books on that subject.
