Russia has been involved in Afghanistan many times.

One example.

"In 1880 Britain accepts Abdurrahman as amir of Kabul, agreeing at the same time not to demand residence for a British envoy anywhere in Afghanistan. When British troops finally withdraw in 1881 (having meanwhile helped Abdurrahman against some rebellious cousins), the political achievement of two costly wars against Russian interference seems on the debit side. But at least Abdurrahman proves an excellent amir."

"Russia has been involved in Afghanistan many times."

True enough, but not as an enemy of the US. THAT was the Soviet Union. Folks both there and here need to come to understand that the real enemy is imperial Islamism. Not Russia or China.
