boemTwo years under Taliban rule in Afghanistan: ‘I never thought the world would forget about us so quickly’
The only way Afghanistan is going to see Democracy IMHO is about the same way as Nazi Germany n imperial Japan ... The world has to get involved in it's rebuilding
Same for Russia, if there is some kind of end of war .. Russia will always go back to it's corrupt/ evil ways... Without intervention there's no hope...
tetraodonNah. The Germans and the Japanese have a sense of State, of common history someone could build upon. Japan went to the Middle Ages to the industrial era in little more than 100 years once it made contact with Europeans. Germany was always a great European power.
The Afghani have nothing of the sort. Their politics is nothing more than a bunch of warring tribes trying to outdo each other in backwardness.
And Russia is a nuclear power. Nobody is going to touch them with a ten-foot pole, certainly not in the way Germany and Japan were rebuilt post-WWII.
Japan didn’t have anything pre-WW1, it’s literally why in WW2 they had to invade China, there weren’t enough resources in Japan to establish an industrial base for their empire.
And Germany wasn’t even unified until what, the 1870’s? Germany is technically a younger country than the U.S, same with Italy, it’s pure revisionism to say that European countries were ever united because they weren’t
I think you people are just legitimately uninformed about world history. The Afghans have the same thing going on for them, but Russia screwed it all up and created their divisions when they invaded
