The current US Afghanistan strategy is to destroy ISIS and to force Taliban to the negotiating table.
Russia's strategy is to arm Taliban and to give it free stuff, like fuel, in order to strengthen it vis-a-vis ISIS (at least, that's what it says).
By arming the very terrorist organization, NATO forces are fighting, Russia is engaging in a proxy war with the US.
Wait a second, haven't we done this before? And haven't we learned anything?
Only now we have American boots on the ground. Why is the new strategy not addressing this macro issue of having to contend with Russia?
