You might want check the armaments, targeting and intelligence capabilities deployed and the tens of thousands of Russians killed by these US actions. How many hundreds of billions did the Russians invest against the US in Afghanistan? How many tens of thousands of American troops were killed in Afghanistan by Russian resources. You might want to acquaint yourself with a globe. The perhaps hundreds of American casualties attributable to Russian meddling in Afghanistan were 8000 miles from the U.S., the tens of thousands of Russian deaths caused by U.S. weapons are a days tank ride from Moscow. Also, when did Putin come to Cuba to preach DC regime change over Afghanistan? I do wish I could bury my head in the sand the way you do and not watch this escalate into WWIII. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

I'm sorry for your losses tovarishch. I still don't see how starting a shooting war with NATO (which covers a population of nearly a billion and a sizeable majority of the planet's military spending) helps Russia with its predicament.

If Russia attacks Poland, it will (1) lose and (2) run a serious risk of starting global thermonuclear war, which would be worse for Russia (and everyone!) than just losing a few tanks to American-made javelins.

The total number of US dead in Afghanistan is 2,402. Not "tens of thousands."
