Azeri forces have hit Russian bases and vehicles in Armenia (including the FSB "humanitarian mission in the combat zone") to no Russian response of any kind, other than fleeing.
You're as consistent in opposing aggression as are the corrupt Western leaders who now fund the Azeri war machine, and are directly responsible for aggression and genocide against Armenia.
How embarrassing. Fortunately, they didn't praise Aliyev into the skies, nor did they have a photo-op with him - like the EU's war criminal in chief did.
to no Russian response of any kind, other than fleeing
Russian generosity has limits. They are already resupplying Ukraine at breakneck speed - how many countries' militaries do people expect them to hand out free equipment to?
Don't you worry, they'll never come close to equaling the $21 billion that the Americans left for the Taliban after they got their asses kicked by goatherds, after spending $2 trillion, and having their soldiers blown up by "sworn enemies of the Taliban" whom the Taliban had broken out of prison.
$21 billion that the Americans left for the Taliban
I doubt it was that much, or anywhere near. Most of the value would have been in the relatively small number of aircraft, the vast majority of which fled to neighboring countries like Uzbekistan. And also, what equipment was left was given to the Afghan Army, which chose not to fight because they simply didn't believe in the cause they were asked to fight for (equal rights for women).
Okay so I looked it up: the TOTAL spent on equipment (and transport) for Afghanistan since 2001 = $18 billion. However, this does not mean there was $18 billion of shit lying around in 2021 for the Taliban to take. First, we'd have to eliminate what was spent on transportation, which isn't broken out. Second, obviously a large portion of the remainder would have broken down or worn out or gotten lost over the course of 20 years, and a significant amount would have been spent on maintenance and repairs. The US counted 73 aircraft left behind that were totally gutted and inoperable before the US left. What was operable almost all took off and flew to neighboring countries. The only evidence I've seen of anything flying that got left behind was a few helicopters.
So this is where you are just lying. Americans never "got their asses kicked" by the Taliban, and of course the Taliban were not "goatherds" regardless, just like the NVA were not "rice farmers". The United States clearly and decisively won all combat as a rule in Afghanistan.
You can say the US lost the war because of a failure of political will, but you cannot say we got our "asses kicked". That's just factually untrue. So the question is, why do you feel the need to lie? The answer is: to salt the wound. And the question is why do you need to salt the wound? The answer is: because you have a serious problem with butthurt over the United States that clouds your ability to use logic and reason. It's like TDS but over America.
It's what the so called "fact-checkers" claimed when people said the number was $80 billion - which they claimed included the training.

Which I hope was sold to the Chinese for inspection and reverse engineering.

The NLF were.

And Pyrrhus of Epirus also decisively won all combat in the first two years. He still had to stage a humiliating withdrawal, like another country.

We didn't get our asses kicked because "political will" is quite a claim. That's what the French claimed after World War II. Of course, there was no way they could have won after their main armies had been surrounded due to disastrous military decisionmaking.

I hate the corrupt criminals who rule over me far more than I hate the United States. But to answer your question: because the said corrupt criminals are your puppets. And because you have no principles (and neither do your puppets). You care about Russia invading a corrupt puppet country because Russia is your enemy and that country is your puppet. When Azerbaijan invades Armenia, you don't give a damn, in fact, your puppets are funding the Azeri war machine. And yet you're not even honest about it, that this is 100% and solely about your own interests, not about the "rules-based international order" which is Western hegemony that should be smashed.
See, the problem is that I have to say 'you' here, while I do believe that you are well-intentioned. Your criminal government, on the other hand... (I'm shocked that a government which shoots 14-year-old boys who are its own citizens at Ruby Ridge has no problem exterminating 14-year-old boys in other countries en masse.)
Both Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan hold Russian bases, but all combat personnel (or 85% of all) have left to be demilitarized in Ukraine.

But they're so free and democratic! They have about HUMAN RIGHTS and NON-AGGRESSION sooooooo much!

Anyway the more accurate number looks like $7 billion: https://nypost.com/2022/08/16/more-than-7b-in-us-military-equipment-seized-by-taliban-pentagon-watchdog/
