      Unless they're Greek, North Indian, Iranian, Turkic, Arabic, Huns, or Scythians. The country was basically ruled by Greeks for most of the classical period and spent most of its history as a frontier for various Iranian empires before it was conquered by Turkic/Mongolian empires for nearly all of the medieval and modern period, ironically it mainly gained independence thanks to Russian and British imperialism and their squabbling made Afghanistan more valuable as a border state than a colony so neither of them tried too hard to secure it since Russia mainly just wanted to keep the British out of Central Asia and the British mainly just wanted to keep raiders and the Russians out of India but neither of them really wanted Afghanistan all that much.

      the world would be better off if afghanistan merged into another surrounding nations.
      also btw 20 years war and usa still lost to afghanistan and nothing positive was achieved, was pretty much waste and losses all around. it harmed people back in usa because usa govt spent energy and resourced into that instead positive endeavors like farming or something positive instead.

    All of these challenges to a foreign power trying to control Afghanistan should have been clear to the U.S. in 2001, based on Russia's experiences there in the 1980s. And yet we still went in and stayed there for 20 years, thinking in our arrogance that we could do better.
    As a nation, I hope we will learn from this folly and focus our efforts closer to home, where they are needed most. I blame both political parties for getting us into and keeping us involved in an unwinnable situation in an unconquerable country for far too many years.

      On the contrary, the previous government under Ashraf Ghani was a proxy of the invading force (in this case the United States), and held little if any legitimacy among the people of Afghanistan. It collapsed because no one outside of Ghani’s inner circle of US-backed strongmen actually believed in their cause, least of all the rank and file soldiers who were directly fighting the Taliban. If anything the government dissolving before the Taliban even got a chance to negotiate with them only reinforces the legacy of Afghanistan being difficult for foreign occupiers to pacify.

      Everyone knows very well why the British, Russians and Americans came to this country..Therefore, they will fight to get them out..
      A large number of Afghan people live as refugees in Germany, including, Pers, Pashtuns, Turkmens, Uzbeks and even Mongolian Hazaras..
      I had the opportunity to talk to some of them, even though they were fleeing the war from the Taliban, they didn't want Americans or Russians in their country either..
      The policy of the USA which was shaped around the pretext of eliminating terrorism, did not succeed..
      Let alone their countries, every people will govern themselves in some way..

      @Sadek Sama The only reason Afghanistan is “impossible to conquer” is because these foreign countries arbitrarily artificially hold back their own military power, enabling and ensuring stalemate or “defeat”. It’s a joke to think there’s ANY other reason why Afghanistan is “impossible to conquer” other than the fact foreign militaries operate w/ the handicap of being run by modern western society/morality VS 8th century barbarians. *IF the US wanted to- Afghanistan would be conquered in months, weeks, or even days!*
      ..imagine if the US military actually engaged in warfare like all others did for most of human history, where NO FOREIGN MILITARY ever dreamed of holding back on an enemy or foreign land they decided to conquer just because they could.. no mercy.. every home & temple demolished.. every man, woman, child, & beast slaughtered.. every crop burned.. scorched earth.. -you know like the TALIBAN STILL operates! The FACT IS: no one is actually attempting to “conquer” Afghanistan, and instead are simply attempting to tame/civilize!.. which YES, has been proven time and time again- to be IMPOSSIBLE!

      The Taliban are native to the region, and even if they weren't... they haven't 'CONQUERED' Afghanistan.
      Many of the regions of Afghanistan will largely remain self-reliant even though they are 'under' Taliban rule.

      Half of what used to be Poland is now Belarus. Half of what is now Poland was once Germany. That's the only real continuing punishment of Germany for the evil deeds of the Nazis during WWII.
      Afghanistan was made up of areas that the British wanted to control as the North West Frontier of India- but couldn't- and areas of central Asia that the Russians wanted to control but couldn't. It is only governable by an alliance of Pashtuns and a central Asian people- the formation of which in itself leads to civil war, drawing in surrounding nations, then foreign powers and alliances. Add in ultra-conservative Islam and frankly, the whole country is a black hole.
