Instead of sending Soviet Forces into Afghanistan,Could the Soviet Union request Castro send 20,000 Cuban troops into Afghanistan with Soviet Union supplying them and providing logistical support similar to what happened in various African conflicts.

What would be the impact on Afghanistan

Would Cuban forces face less Resistance than the Soviet Union

Why do you think the Pashtun, Uzbek and Turkmen would like Cubans any more than Soviets doing the exact same thing?
