      Judging by the mourning ceremonies, the Afghans still somehow do not seek to make themselves happy by the democracy that has arrived to them.

        Alas it is not No.
        Now Afghanistan, after the many years of presence of mattresses, is a world center and a leader in the production of opium drugs. For this, all this cats was needed. It’s obvious if you don’t listen to them 3,14 ** b, but look at the facts sad

          I agree with you, after the sshashnikov arrived, drug production has grown significantly, while the Taliban, on the contrary, fought with drugs.

      Looking at the photo there is only one question - why is this all?
      Naturally, the cones from the ruling circles probably achieved their goals, but at what cost. It is a pity for the simple American people, those families that lost their relatives in Afghanistan.

      Not in one article I did not see a clear justification of why there is a constant war for Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, the United States, what is the exclusivity of this country, in the people, in the geo position,
      I understand the way out of the Anglo-Saxons during my stay, they created a system of covert control and management, now they say the Afghan army is gone, which remains to be a tool to destabilize the region, and what America doesn’t care for it, and let Russia and China have fun, but still I don’t understand why the problems are with Afghanistan, what is all the salt

        The Americans, apparently introducing troops into Afghanistan, pursue two main goals. Firstly, to restore and control the world's largest supplies of opium to world heroin markets and use drugs as a geopolitical weapon against opponents, especially against Russia. It is no secret that control over the drug market and its turnover is an important component of the financial power of the world mafia and Wall Street interest bankers to maintain the liquidity of the dollar as a world currency as well. As soon as the first exchanger appeared in Russia, a drug dealer appeared right next to it, because in the USSR the activities of the financial and drug mafia were problematic. while the country's monetary system was independent of the dollar.
        Second, to build a permanent US strike force, along with a series of permanent US military bases in the country, to target and be able to strike in no time at the two states that today represent the only combined threat in today's world of the American global empire. And Afghanistan is essentially the center of Asia, through which all the "logistics" of civilizations have passed since ancient times, thanks to its geopolitical position, one can say about Afghanistan that who controls it, controls all of Central Asia.

          Bases for the training of "rebels" - bandyugov have already been built. By the way, the Americans and NATO have some kind of political instructors. And they removed and installed priests from us. But in vain !.

        I don’t remember in any article I read that this is a great way of making money, somehow exporting all kinds of material values ​​from the defeated side, and cutting the budget of my home country (USA). In short, the scheme is as follows: first, creating the image of "terrorists and villains" from the people of the country where they want to attack, the taxpayers take money for this business. Then carpet bombing, again the taxpayers take money. Then, when the "enemy" is defeated, the taxpayer takes money to create democracy in this country. Somehow I don’t remember the details, sorry.

      In Afghanistan, the roads that the USSR built, part of the infrastructure, are preserved. The Americans did not build anything.
      But Amer, let’s fight with the money of the drug court and never come out of Afghanistan.
      If any part comes out, then it will be replaced by the BlackWater PMC, which in translation means “Black Water”. The water is so muddy that the name was changed several times. And for the drugs, the percentage is paid to the Afghan government.

      Avgan definitely cannot be defeated by arms, therefore, our country built roads, hydroelectric power stations and schools there.
      But it seems that foreign troops will be constantly present in this country, because they are not friends with each other.

      Children, women and old people are killed by "democratic" bombs. Do Americans still believe. that their "democracy" is a boon for the people of Afghanistan? Even later, the Soviet leaders realized that there was nothing to do with weapons in Afghanistan. The Americans and NATO are convinced of the same thing today. Indeed, history teaches that it teaches nothing ...
