Could there have been better outcomes?

One possibility would be some kind of deal where Czechoslovakia fort spmed and opened but stayed in the Warsaw Pact and Comecon.

Another is a more effective resistence. The USSR does not get Dubcek (sorry about spelling) and the efforts to tell Russian troops the truth about what was happening.

I believe that in OTL the Soviet troops were told that there had been either a Western invasion or Fascist coup.

Did the Soviet leadership actually have options which avoided the invasion which did not involved the collapse of their system?
