They did call the Russian troops and equipment into Afghanistan...

Whoa, whoa, whoa . . . hold it right there.

Their "call" was that Russia was mobilizing 100,000 troops in order to invade Afghanistan. What actually happened was that the Russian military advisers everyone already knew were working with the NA have now set up a base of operations in a vacant lot in Kabul. They're about 80 strong, not 100,000.

I believe DEBKA said there would be 250,000 troops from Russia in the spring.
