    Its bullshit to paint an invasion as aid. This is what imperialist do.

    The soviets invaded afaganistan for the same reasons as the us did later and Briton did before.

    To protect their borders from afar,

    To create and protect trade deal favorable to their country,

    To spread their ideology.

    And by the way I read a book about the history of afaganistan called: Games Without Rules: The Often Interrupted History of Afghanistan.

    It outlined how the three main invasion of Afghanistan all followed the same basic lines, motivations and results. They devastated Afghanistan and created a situation where they would be invaded again.

      How could the USSR have invaded Afghanistan for the same reason as the US?

      The USSR was there to oppose the US by fighting their proxies and defend the socialists in Afghanistan who supported them during the invasion.

      The US invaded under the War on Terror pretext as a war profiteering entrerprise. They brought Unaco, Haliburton, KBR, PMCs, and other contractors in to extract value from the region to bring profits to the imperial core.

      How are these two things the same?
