Well it's not black and white..Putin in past has also offered to join nato so we don't know what's Kremlin's end game here...If both ruskie and murici interests align then they MAY work together just like they sometimes "work together to bring peace in syria" Ruskies don't care about central asia nor do muricans care about afghan Both are there for their self interests..Fun fact after all Crimea,nord stream,caatsa sanctions drama Russia is 2nd largest supplier of Crude to murica..So over d horizon may or may not happen we don't know what's d deal between them..For over the horizon CT operations? As far as I know, Putin told Biden at Geneva that he won't let them use their Central Asian bases. Their Foreign Minister Ryabkov had also said the same:
“I would emphasize that the redeployment of the American permanent military presence to the countries neighboring Afghanistan is unacceptable. We told the Americans in a direct and straightforward way that it would change a lot of things not only in our perceptions of what’s going on in that important region, but also in our relations with the United States.
We cautioned our Central Asian allies too against such steps, and we also have had a frank talk on the subject with our Central Asian allies, neighbors and friends and also other countries in the region that would be directly affected.”
