The other difference is the Afgani's fighting the Russians received billions of dollars of military aid including hi tech stinger missiles from the US.
When the US themselves invaded Afghanistan the most well funded and powerful military power in history spent 20 years in occupation and achieved absolutely nothing ending in an embarrassingly chaotic exit. From my knowledge during the 20 year occupation the Russians were not flooding the Taliban with weaponary to fight the US.
Do I think Russia is a force of good in the world? Nope not particularly, do I think they have even a fraction of the amount of inncocent civilian blood on their hands as the US? Well clearly not, even the most history ignorant war crazed schill couldn't argue that.
