Carter’s actions had no immediate effect on the Soviet Union.
Although he imposed sanctions, led the 1980 Olympic boycott, and increased covert aid to Afghan resistance, those measures did not force an immediate Soviet withdrawal — the Red Army remained in Afghanistan until 1989. (The Taliban did not yet exist in 1979, so they were not an immediate factor.)
