Earlier Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

I suppose a bigger rift in the PDPA could bring about the Patcham faction calling in Soviet support to finally rid themselves of the Khalaqists.
 
Thats pretty unlikely. The Soviets' main interest in pre-invasion Afghanistan was to reconcile the two groups. Plus the Khalqists have far more power than the Parcham faction. The Soviets really tried to get Parchamists in high positions administratively, but then they got purged. :eek:
