[@arthas640]

Unless they're Greek, North Indian, Iranian, Turkic, Arabic, Huns, or Scythians. The country was basically ruled by Greeks for most of the classical period and spent most of its history as a frontier for various Iranian empires before it was conquered by Turkic/Mongolian empires for nearly all of the medieval and modern period, ironically it mainly gained independence thanks to Russian and British imperialism and their squabbling made Afghanistan more valuable as a border state than a colony so neither of them tried too hard to secure it since Russia mainly just wanted to keep the British out of Central Asia and the British mainly just wanted to keep raiders and the Russians out of India but neither of them really wanted Afghanistan all that much.

[@josephryan9230]

Thank you for this detailed and informative video. All of these challenges to a foreign power trying to control Afghanistan should have been clear to the U.S. in 2001, based on Russia's experiences there in the 1980s. And yet we still went in and stayed there for 20 years, thinking in our arrogance that we could do better. As a nation, I hope we will learn from this folly and focus our efforts closer to home, where they are needed most. I blame both political parties for getting us into and keeping us involved in an unwinnable situation in an unconquerable country for far too many years.

On the contrary, the previous government under Ashraf Ghani was a proxy of the invading force (in this case the United States), and held little if any legitimacy among the people of Afghanistan. It collapsed because no one outside of Ghani’s inner circle of US-backed strongmen actually believed in their cause, least of all the rank and file soldiers who were directly fighting the Taliban. If anything the government dissolving before the Taliban even got a chance to negotiate with them only reinforces the legacy of Afghanistan being difficult for foreign occupiers to pacify.

Half of what used to be Poland is now Belarus. Half of what is now Poland was once Germany. That's the only real continuing punishment of Germany for the evil deeds of the Nazis during WWII. Afghanistan was made up of areas that the British wanted to control as the North West Frontier of India- but couldn't- and areas of central Asia that the Russians wanted to control but couldn't. It is only governable by an alliance of Pashtuns and a central Asian people- the formation of which in itself leads to civil war, drawing in surrounding nations, then foreign powers and alliances. Add in ultra-conservative Islam and frankly, the whole country is a black hole.

This was the situation since September 1939. No need to imagine, just read more books.
