Russia is laughing their head off while watching the occident stuck with the problem ...
Why do you think that the USSR went in Afghanistan in the first place ? Oil ? Land ? Wealth ?
No, just to contain the support that afghanistan was giving to the Tchechen ( their own islamic " terrorists " ).
The Americans, with their simplistic foreign policy ( communists ... argh ) armed, financed, supplied technicals to those religious rebels , under the command of a well know guy now ...
So you think that Russia will come back ...
NATO is not finishing any jobs, it just became the hoe ....
