The soviets intervened at the request of factions in Afghanistan that had already taken power, though had not solidified it. They did not establish a colony nor expropriate wealth.
Just so I’m clear, are you saying a majority of the Afghan people wanted the Soviets in Afghanistan? Because that’s not how I understand the situation being.
The legally and internationally recognized government of Afghanistan requested the Soviets for help many times until they decided to help them out. Literally google it.
Sounds like at least a nazi sympathizer yeah but in case anyone else is reading it might help them learn more about the topic, which is very complicated ofc but definitely not “USSR bad”
The legitimate government of Afghanistan requested support. Afghanistan had many factions and infighting, but the legitimate government specifically requested support, which the soviets responded to.
That’s not what I asked though. Did the majority of the Afghan people want the Soviets to intervene? Its my understanding that most Afghans didn’t want the Soviets there, given how they overthrew the government a few years after the Soviets left.
