Does the Taliban really want Russia involved in Afghanistan again? I mean I won’t complain if this devolves into them fighting each other like in the 80s, but…
If I’m not mistaken Russia was fighting the Mujahideen during their Afghan war in the 80s. The Taliban then rose inside Afghanistan killing Mujahideen leaders and taking over Afghanistan in the late 1990s. So one could say the Taliban succeeded where Russia failed.
