It would become very nice situation if USA did not froze the assets of Afghanistan. Former government got the money and there were corruption, and, now, here is no corruption but the money is not here. And, the reality is, this video shows about Kabul, not the whole Afghanistan. Other provinces like Kandahar those are dependent on agriculture not to the foreign aid.

A height of Afghanistan was in the 1970’s. They exported more raisins than California. They’ve had ups and downs like most societies.

[@sanguinesomnambulist]

The US supported Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan during the 1970s in order to destabilize the country as it had a pro-Soviet government. This undermined the significant progressive advancements the country had made in the 1950s and 1960s. This worsened as the CIA funneled funds and arms towards regional warlords during the Soviet invasion, and by the 1990s the country was in shambles. By the time the US invaded in 2001 it was mostly run by the Taliban with a small area run by tribalist warlords.

Thing was Trump himself signed the withdrawal order when he was president, he made a deal with the Taliban or whatever. Obviously Taliban DGAF about no deals, and the next president and his administration likely had so many things going on, Biden is seriously old, a senior citizen, and he had to withdraw by that date, and so they withdrew on time But if something was to change, Biden and generals should’ve saw that the Taliban did not keep their part of that deal, can’t remember, and reverse the withdrawal, but everything was already withdrawn, time was running short to withdraw, tons of troops already withdrawn and all located in that air base ready to leave, and crucial bases were already destroyed, so staying in Afghanistan would’ve meant far more decades of carrying the Afghans… maybe even a century seeing how Afghan people are, them being very tribal people and a tribal society. ANA inside attacks, still being a least developed country according to UN, mudhut rural tribal people, things like that, very exhausting 😴 😴 In the end for the Afghans, apparently only the ANA Commandos fought and die, while the ANA and Afghan police deserted and vanished into thin air, Afghan president evacuated… those ANA Commandos if they weren’t given the order to surrender could’ve made a proper last stand in Kabul and imagine they had reinforcements of the ANA and Afghan police, like how the Germans fought till the end in Berlin despite knowing the end was near, but that deal with the Talibs… I think the ANA elites got hunted down one by one shortly after Kabul fell by the Talibs. Poor Afghans 😢

As an Afghan living in Afghanistan for more than 20 years I can say If you study the past, you can see that the main problem with Afghanistan situation was and is lack of education. with or without Taliban existence, majority of the people are Talibani minded by default. The only way to save Afghanistan from repeating the history is to educate the people. I know that changing the Talibani ideology is very very hard but it's the only way. another invasions may solve the problem but temporarily.

[@binocular5950]

If Pakistan was a friendly country, then it would hsve been beneficial to Afghans. Pak ISI is playing tricks in Afghanistan

[@arnavaggarwal8770]

But that’s the main issue. Taliban teaches people to only study the Quran. Everything else is blasphemous for these barbarians.

[@habib08m]

@@arnavaggarwal8770 The do not teach the Quran. They teach what they think the Quran says. They are all mind washed by Pakistan ISI. Islam and Sharia law is just an excuse for them to implement Pakistan interests in Afghanistan. We had a great government and democracy between 1963 - 1973. But unfortunately that terrorist country did not stop interfering in our country. in 90s they created Taliban by the aid of USA.

True, when you've been fighting for more than 60 years, how can you then all of a sudden become an accountant, tax advisor or even hold office without knowing wtf to do. What we should do is observe, rather than interject. Let them figure it out for themselves, help where we can (medical, food etc.) but let them figure it out for themselves. No rush. I'm just happy to see it normal to some extent, merchants, people working, people living etc. it's cool to see nonetheless.

Brothers and sisters in the only holy, honest and righteous God, God has returned to the human body, so we have the Gospel of Almighty God to read. The fulfillment of the prophecy in the Revelation revealed that God is all and so God's name has also changed, Jesus is no longer the name that will be called Him forever but Almighty God. Because when He returned, He brought the whole of His management and salvation to humanity, dividing it into three stages. That the first phase is the Age of Law represented and implemented by God in the name Jehovah. And followed by the first incarnation of God when He performed the ministry of the Age of Grace and redemption (crucifixion) represented and performed by God in the name of Jesus. And now God has come again in our Time in 1991 so the last stage of His work has been brought by Him, and in our living today the reduction of the prophesied thousand years in Revelation chapter 20. That the old and dirty this world that has remained for now is nearing its end. So the last stage now is the Age of the Kingdom (the age of the word so that the whole world will be filled with His word) that God will represent and carry out in His entirety as the one who governs the entire universe hence His name that will be called to Him forever is Almighty God. The purpose of this last stage of God's work now is to sort out people according to his type, those who can be purified and perfected will be perfected and those who cannot will not. Those who will receive His return in this final phase and submit to God where He is to eat and drink His word daily in "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" found on KZbin is the fulfillment of the NEW JERUSALEM (Isaiah 2:2). To chastise and judge with the words of God so that the word of God can make known the corruption attached to the spirit and disposition of man and even his words and deeds. Which means that God is starting to purify the people who purify Him with His word where He is. Because now is the beginning of God's choice of a soul that He has purified and this person who has been purified when he dies and goes to the Spiritual World, he has a different status and will not be reborn because he is destined for the final resurrection in the upcoming New World on the appointed day according to God.... All those who were not purified during this thousand years and became pure will all live in the Time of reaching the remaining day of the end of the one thousand years allotted by God. and the pure will enter the New World and remain alive with God forever. And the souls of people who have not been pure will be thrown into the very bottom of hades and they will be banished forever. May my little knowledge enlighten you, so I invite you to immediately go to the voice and words of our only holy, faithful, righteous and just God on His throne and kingdom that He has brought down to earth in "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" fulfillment of (Revelation 3:12) " I will write the name of my God, the name of the city of my God. And I will also write My NEW NAME". And (Revelation 2:17) "Everyone who has an ear, listen to what the SPIRIT SAYS in the Churches!".
