    TBH I struggle to worry for Afghanistan. That country has a terrible culture and while we can criticize the US here, that place was not and has not been fine for a very long time.

      Oh gee I sure wonder why

      Surely it couldn’t have been impacted by a twenty-year occupation, right? Surely not.

          Ah yes, because a 20-year occupation couldn’t possibly make anything worse.

        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).
