Russia, welcome to Afghanistan Redux. Are you sure this is where you want to sacrifice your money and men with no end?

Also the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. Why did US surrender to the Talibans.
Or, say, Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Maybe the Taliban will help Russia in Ukraine
Bringing Syrians and Africans in to kill Russian-speakers in eastern Ukraine is a bizarrely desperate idea. Straight path from being a Russian president to becoming a warlord with a ragtag mercenary army fighting against Russians. Bomb Voronezh meme truer than ever.
There are comparisons but Afghanistan is not Ukraine. Russo-Ukraine War overview.
