do you even know your geography?
it's south of central Asia
how tf is it between Europe and Asia?
Yeah, Alexander the Great had to make his way through Afghanistan to get to Indian and Asia
land bridge between Europe and Asia?
that's turkey
It produced the most heavily trafficked trade routes between Europe and Asia for centuries
I'm not talking about the silk road, sorry
it's located miles away from Europe
Im just saying, it has very open borders, very diverse and free people
that isn't a bridge between Europe and Asia anyways
People wanted control of t
no excuse for that, your poor in your geography
Yeah it is
yea anyways
keep supporting imperialism
and spending tax dollars on it
I'm surprised you've never heard of how important the trading routes were trough Afghanistan
Support it or just embrace it?
I'm not talking about historical contexts, I know about it, I'm saying it from a geographical point
it's a fallacy
Ok, I dunno what you mean. It's a very easy country to gain access to, and had historically been so
That's why it was easy to set up terrorist training shops there
The Iraqi government was actively trying to gain info and probably even capture the few taliban in their country
Unfortunately for them, we were able to find some training facilities loosely associated with the taliban in Iraq
and the main cause of the war was WMDs
Which added fuel to the talking points on invading
there was none
it was a ploy with the British for oil
And oil
so yea, spreading imperialism since 1965
Yeah, and that's why I think you should be asking about Iraq more so than Afghanistan
The reasons for invading Afghanistan are much more evident
because they created the mess
and trying to clean it up
not a excuse pal
I thought Saudi Arabia created it
oh, Saudi Arabia gave weapons to the mujahideen?
