Afghans have had people fucking their shit up for like 4 generations now … they don’t really know anything else, pretty sure they were relatively normal prior to the US and USSR fuckery.
I mean, you could say the same thing about Europe … but the current state of things in Afghanistan is definitely a result of the last 50 odd years of global super powers meddling.
