    The Sovjets came at the invitation of the current government of that time. Also Afghanistan being pushed towards the Sovjets is a result of the US propping up Pakistan, which was proxy-warring against Afghanistan.

    I would argue all colonial powers are of similiar blame in repeatedly fucking Afghanistan over.
