    Yes, I am definitely sure it was all Amerikkka’s fault, Afghanistan definitely hasn’t always been a dirt poor country for the past 200 years and also definitely didn’t spent most of the 70s and all of the 80s and 90s locked in brutal civil wars, and definitely has a united national culture that made running a functional national government easy.

    Also I love the part where we were colonizing Afghanistan and dictating their internal policies. God, it’s so great that we thought Islam was so amazing that we made it a crime to apostatize from it. Wait, or are we supposed to be the Christian Crusaders imposing our faith on Muslim countries? I can never keep all the things we’re accused of doing straight.

    If you think the economic situation in Afghanistan is due to the US… well, that’s about the understanding of Afghanistan’s historical and present circumstances I expect from someone who treats international politics like a religion and says “Well, I don’t agree with the Taliban closing schools for women and ‘other things’, BUT… have you considered, America bad?”

      You can keep turning in circles and do adhoms but the fact remains that America ruined Afghanistan the last 20 years. Before that it was the Russians.

      The current Afghanistan has been independent for a very little time and has inherited tonnes of problems from America ruining the country. The sanctions and aid restrictions also don’t help this.

      I’m not sure why you’d even begin to disagree with these facts but seeing as your entire comment doesn’t address then I can only guess.
