Oh gee I sure wonder why
Surely it couldn't have been impacted by a twenty-year occupation, right? Surely not.
Yeah the Russian invasion before didn't help either.
Afghanistan's been catching shit left and right and they get no break lol
No absolutely not.

While this might be controversial Afghanistan and a lot of other places in the world do actually need foreign policing and a forceful cultural change.
Not saying how we make the change or what it becomes but some places are so ass.
So? Doesn't mean that American occupation of Afghanistan hasn't delayed their social and economic development by at least two decades (and probably far more).
It was just paradise before then huh
Ah yes, because a 20-year occupation couldn't possibly make anything worse.
