+description:
+  <p>Following the 9/11 attacks, the United States and its NATO allies launched a 
+  full-scale invasion of Afghanistan to dismantle the Taliban regime and root out 
+  Al-Qaeda. As the conflict progressed, Russia grew increasingly concerned that the 
+  Western powers were using the War on Terror as a pretext for territorial expansion 
+  in Central Asia. The Kremlin viewed NATO's growing presence in Afghanistan as a 
+  direct threat to its sphere of influence and a potential encroachment on its 
+  southern borders.</p>
+  <p>Shortly after the fall of Kandahar, which signalled the end of organised Taliban 
+  control of Afghanistan, Russia and a coalition of its allies with historical ties 
+  to the Soviet Union decided to intervene under the guise of protecting regional 
+  stability and sovereignty. While Russia did not openly ally with the insurgents, 
+  it covertly provided logistical support, intelligence, and military aid to 
+  various anti-NATO factions within Afghanistan as part of a broader strategy to 
+  prevent NATO forces from gaining a foothold in the region.</p>
+  <p>The conflict quickly escalated into a multi-faceted and very costly war. The 
+  United States and its allies found themselves not only battling insurgents but 
+  also facing direct confrontations with increasing numbers of conventional 
+  Russian forces both in the air and on the ground. The ferocity of the war 
+  underscored once more the peril of foreign intervention in this historically 
+  unyielding land.</p>
