Kutuzov and his Russian Army had to retreat after an army of 80 000 troops under command of General Mack surrendered to Napoleon in Ulm. This retreat aimed at meeting up with the remaining forces of the Austrians and with new troops from Russia. However, the Austrian commander of the forces guarding the bridge over he Danube was fooled into losing the bridge, which put the Russian Army in serious trouble of being cutting off from the meeting spoken about. Later on a Secretary from the Rusian embassy discussing what happened said "It is not exactly treachery - it is something more - we have been Macked,"
Looking at the Afghan fiaso and I would change that saying as mentioned and write - "It is not exactly treachery - it is something more - the USA had been Talibidened|,"
