      UK is busy killing Afghans since 1839 in their quest to colonize Afghans like it did to India but since they were buthurt 3 times in a row it continues until 2021 with destroying Afghanistan trough its proxy state west Pakistan which it created illegally on Afghan-Indian soil in 1947 against all UN agreements, despite the fact it was defeated in the 3rd Afghan-Anglo war in 1919 not just only defeated on the field but also diplomatically in 1923 because the last real Afghan king Amanullah Khan signed a pact with USSR and thus freeing Durandline which his illiterate father was tricked by the British in 1889 “leasing” this land for 100 years!
      That’s why Afghanistan had to be destroyed in 1989 and they continu to destabilize and create havoc in Afghanistan abusing Islam since WW1
      By means of carefully orchestrated Islamic uprise in 1929 it ousted king Amanullah khan by the own Afghan population and placed its puppet king which ruled for 40 years while being toppled by its own emotional idiot nephew the red prince Daud.
      Similar to 1979 Islamic uprise orchestrated by USA which is Britain’s partner since WW1 and very recently both had invaded Afghanistan under false pretext called 9/11 it also cultivated Taliban during their 20 years of occupation and puppet presidents karzai and ghani
      Sadly a repeat of 1929
      1929 = 1979
      Deluded “freedom fighters payed by the west: Bache Saqow = Ahmad Shah Massoud and other ashrar
      Western puppet king shah shuja & Nadir Shah = Karzai/Ghani/Taliban (Pakistan ISI)
      Patriots Afghans: Real Afghan King Amanullah Khan = President Dr. Najibullah
      While president Najibullah warned in 1989 the western world to stop supporting terrorism in Afghanistan. However geopolitics has no moral standards and is payed by Afghan blood
      In a certain way, the world is witnessing the revenge of afghans call it karma or whatever you want but Alexander the Great wrote:
      "May God keep you away from the venom of the Cobra, the teeth of the tiger, and the revenge of the Afghans."

      It is gut wrenching to watch the United States pull out our troops from Afghanistan. After being there for 20 years, we thought we had trained them well enough to protect themselves from the taliban. As I write this, the second and third biggest cities have been overtaken by the Taliban, Kabul is surrounded, and the entire country is on the brink of collapse. I fear for the women there, who will no longer be able to go to school, own a business, ect. We NEED to keep our word to the thousands of translators who have worked with us and evacuate ALL of them!

      Raees Zargar you are absolutely correct in saying that Nepal just a poor country with no importance. Know that the best fighters that Afghanistan has, were bested by a bunch of poor Nepalese Gurkhas. Let that sink in. Gurkhas are the most superior fighting soldier that I have ever seen.
      On a side note; Afghanistan is pretty much worthless. “If” Afghanistan took advantage of it’s mineral deposits, then that would be different, but they don’t, and they likely never will. Especially since the Taliban are likely to take over in say the next year or two.
      Folks in Kabul had better get ready because that Olympic Soccer field is about to be used again to start lobbing off heads. Bet the Afghans wouldn’t mind some help from the Gurkhas then.

      Completely wrong lol. As an Afghan, it would be nice for others to stop claiming afghan history as Persian, Arab or Indian. Recently Indians have been relentless at claiming afghan history through a distant more than 2000 yrs old history where a small region was once ruled by an "Indian kingdom." Gandhara is mostly present day Pakistan and included small parts of southern Afghanistan. We were bactrian and in ancient times Afghanistan was called "Ariana" because we had Aryan tribes.

    Recently met a group of Afghanis who fled due to the crisis of the Taliban taking control. They are such friendly, hardworking people. I was astounded by how ‘Western’ they are, Amazing at speaking English, and just so grateful to be in a safe country. The media always paints a negative picture of Afghanistan. I had a lovely conversation with a man named Gull who was a tour guide and lost everything due to the conflict. He told me he would take me on a great tour once the country becomes safe again, and I really wish it does. They are a resilient people and don’t deserve to always get the shit end of the stick. Long live Afghanistan!

However, their priority changed to conquer the rest of Central Asia, the middle east and Europe afterwards, which they were successful in doing. Almost all empires were never interested in keeping their hold on Afghanistan for long once they were inside because of way too many mountains and lack of natural resources. It was simply not worth it for anyone to keep occupying and ruling it. Except for in the modern time for USA & India (to destabilise both Afghanistan & Pakistan), for Pakistan (to try to keep both Pakistan & Afghanistan stable due to other countries' presence) for Russia (to counter the influence of USA), for Saudi Arabia & Iran (to spread their religious ideologies i.e. Sunni vs Shia).
