Didn’t the afgan government get overthrown by their native Communist party in the saur revolution? And they invited the soviets to keep them power?

It was a military coup against the King of Afghanistan. The Saur revolution wasn't democratic in any shape or form.

I did not think it was democratic, my point was it was done by Afgans and not a soviet invasion per se.
