Yeah America (specifically America) colonizing the country for 20 years and running it into the ground is definitely irrelevant here.
Imagine dunking on them when 90% of the shit in this article is problems America created themselves.
I don’t agree with them closing school for women and many other things, but the economic situation and starvation is 100% a result of American imperialism.
Yes, I am definitely sure it was all Amerikkka’s fault, Afghanistan definitely hasn’t always been a dirt poor country for the past 200 years and also definitely didn’t spent most of the 70s and all of the 80s and 90s locked in brutal civil wars, and definitely has a united national culture that made running a functional national government easy.
Also I love the part where we were colonizing Afghanistan and dictating their internal policies. God, it’s so great that we thought Islam was so amazing that we made it a crime to apostatize from it. Wait, or are we supposed to be the Christian Crusaders imposing our faith on Muslim countries? I can never keep all the things we’re accused of doing straight.
If you think the economic situation in Afghanistan is due to the US… well, that’s about the understanding of Afghanistan’s historical and present circumstances I expect from someone who treats international politics like a religion and says “Well, I don’t agree with the Taliban closing schools for women and ‘other things’, BUT… have you considered, America bad?”
Colonialism is just the step beyond imperialism. America does imperialism all over the world but doesn’t colonize everything.
America setting up tonnes of military bases, killing the government and then replacing and dictating the entire governance with their own peons means that it colonized Afghanistan, it didn’t just influence it.

You use the words ‘colonialism’ and ‘imperialism’ but don’t seem to know what they mean.
