>anglos don't know how to pacify afghanistan
>"it was actually a grave of empires and was never conquered."
Yeah, the Achmeniads,Mauryas ,Guptas, Mughals and the like didn't hold on to that land for several centuries.

what you need to understand is that Afghanistan isn't really a country, its just where all the countries around it stopped

>>1914009
This

there are no Afghans
there is a score of different ethnic groups
there is no concept of a state or paying taxes outside of the cities shit like that just doesn't click for shit kicking tribal types that consider the people in the next village 5km away subhumans to be exterminated

>>1913997
>the grave yard of empires

t. afghan barbarian

>when you realize this is meme and that it was a case every time of empire realizing it was a shithole full of various tribes of hateful savages and no longer wanting to bother with continuing to dominate it

the British and Soviets just got tired of being there and went home, but fucking Afghan expats and migrants think this means they BTFO'd empires

>British actually leave Afghanistan
>get massacred, even women and children right before leaving it's borders
>come back in massive force, kill tens of thousands of Afghans

complete idiot savages

Reminder, Afghan was once a rich area during the Buddhist times, both culturally and economically.

The Taliban were about to wipe out the last remnants of the Northern Alliance, on September 12, 2001, they were given the order for a final strike.

Boipussy and smuggled drinks would abound, but someone ruined it.

Its only the graveyard of "empires" that are non-Iranian/Iranic.

Literally not a fucking penny of Operation Cyclone went to the Afghan Arabs or the Taliban. But keep repeating that "AmeriKKKa founded the Taliban!!!!11!!!!11!" shit, bud.

It's quite hard to build a stable centralized government when all you have are unruly hill tribes.

America armed, trained and financed the mujahideen opposing Russia which turned into the Taliban you idiot

I heard a story that when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk heard that modernist afghan regime leader is trying to ban the hijab he sad " we lost him". right after the ban afghan Regime collapsed so it's good to know your limits if you are trying to westernize a Muslim country :)

That's your problem.

It ain't one. Not at least in the way you think of what that word means.

>>1915755
Afghanistan's government used to be liberal and secular, the people were mostly fundamentalist goatfuckers. It all went to shit when the socialist government tried to force its reforms too fast on the population without consulting the soviets.

Obama is a dumb piece of shit nigger that's little more than a house nigger to the democratic party.

He is directly responsible for divisiveness in this nation that hasn't existed since the 60's.

Yeah, Around the fucking Capital.

Meanwhile most of the country still lived in tribal clans in compound farms built like fortresses.

My grandfather fought in the Soviet Afghan war

He was a Soviet conscript and he hated everything in the shit hole of a nation.
He always said "Why the hell are we even bothering? There's nothing here"
