Unless the Soviet Union has already invaded every country in the world, you
can always point to a country on its border and ask why it hasn't tried to
conquer it.  That doesn't mean that it's not pursuing a course of action
that, unresisted, would lead to conquest of the world.

Conquest of the world does not mean conquering everything at the same time--
I'll bet that if the Soviets had invaded Yugoslavia instead of Afghanistan
you'd have asked "if the Soviet Union is so bent upon territorial expansion
why have they never invaded Afghanistan?"
