Here's a pic of Afghanistan in 1967. What went wrong Sup Forums?

USA, as always

Islam becoming law.

Oh and our involvement with the Muhajdeen.

(((Soviets))) tried to spread (((Communism)))

Soviets fucked it up first

M O O S L U M S

>implying
That was a picture of a soviet controlled city in Afghanistan during the 1970s. The country side was still filled with burka wearing jihadist fuckers.

Same thing that always happens

Islam taking over after external involvement.

if the soviets conquered the middle east they would all be atheists which would had been alot better then islam then we rek the soviets ??? profit

Then (((the West))) tried to spread (((Democracy)))

This picture as well as pictures of Iran in the 1970s are always posted to show that "wow look see it wasn't that bad back then."

The thing is, these pictures are completely unresentative of either country during that time period. Yes, Tehran and parts of Kabul were more liberalized in that period, in Afghanistan it was a very small minority of the population that lived a more western lifestyle, the vast majority of the population was still tribal / rural at that time. The same can be said for Iran.

Here's one of Iran in 1976

Russian oil interests, American opium interests, and Islam

It was an attack that could never be stopped, too much money involved

Who cares. Just nuke it

not afghans specifically,but saudis funding all mosques so they can promote their fundamentalist islamic state religion known as salafism,which soon became the norm in all or most majority sunni cunts. But that doesn't fully explain Afghanistan,that place has been in some sort of war type situation for most of its history.

US & co. The eternal anglo created mujahedeen. And now it backfires on them like Lenin backfired on Germany

The same thing as Iran, yes some cities were modern and nice but 99% of the country was the same tribal anarchic shithole it's always been. Then the Soviets happened, then the Islamists, then the US then Taliban remnants.

It's pretty sad to be honest, as soon as the US mission really wraps up I think it's very possible the government could be toppled again by the snackbars.

Now (((ISIS))) is trying to create a (((caliphate)))

The common people didn't want to accept american/jewish liberal imperialism

(((they))) go involved and used various countries to meddle in their business.

>salafism
They're called wahabbis you stupid cuck, at least use the term they're offended by.

1.) Revolution
2.) Drug Trade
3.) US involvment in the 80s

We were first there when they asked for our help in making hydro electric dams. After we were done, most of the nation had electricity, but we shifted the water table and this allowed for the insane increase in opium poppy growth, spirring the drug trade.

Regardless of what people tell you, American involvment in afganistan really wasn't such a big catalyst or destructive force. This is one of the few times where it actually wasn't much our fault.

What about arming the mujahedeen? Don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-USA cuck but that was fucked up m8.

Yes, never mind the Shah.

Religion of Piss

The Shah

Fucking hippies.

Bill Clinton ended support for the Afghan freedom fighters, the Taliban took over their territory and drove them out until they ended up having to live in the northern mountains while Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden planned 9/11.

underrated post.

What went wrong?
Saudi Arabian influence, Mujahideen influence, militant Islamic Qutb influence, finally the Taliban hosting bin Laden

That's what went wrong

Soviets went in to make sure it would stay that secular socialist states. It was you fucks who supported islamist.

>Northern Alliance
>freedom fighters
That's retarded, Mahmoud was a violent jihadi as well, they massacred a load of people more than once just like everyone else.
Difference is they hated the Taliban and were open to Western interests i.e bin Laden and a stable government.
It's like calling ISIS freedom fighters cause they want to get rid of Assad

Inshallah

Then (((the Muslims))) found out their religion is against (((Democracy))) so they enforced (((Sharia))) law instead

>implying all leadership in middle east isn't murderous cunts
We either get Murder McMurderer or Killer McKillington

The same thing that's happening in Sweden.

only the very small gated community part of afghanistan looked like that. a haven for the rich. i can show you the white part of detroit but that doesnt mean detroit is great. most of afghanistan and iran has always been and still is a shitty, violent dirt road

Relatively benevolent monarch intent on secularization and modernization deposed... country falls into internal civil strife and becomes a proxy battlefield for American vs Soviet imperialism.

Fighting against axis powers in wwii was a mistake americanoniggro

Is that why there is a blonde in the image?
Is she Slavic?

usa didn't let the soviets win

This. These images show a small elite, either economical or political.

The elite was bigger in Iran, it even became a medium class towards the end, but the westernization was far to fast. Universities produced smart people who needed high paying jobs that simply didn't exist at the time, leading to mass unanployment.

Not to mention poor thought land reforms that made the poor even more poor, and did nothing to better anyone else. This and other political reasons, especially the banning of opposition parties, widespread torture and corruption lead to the revolution of 1979.

The revolution was quite ''normal'' at the beginning, it had little Islamic motives behind it. It resembled the 89 revolutions honestly.

But the lack of a political structure doomed the country. The opposition was non-existant and unable to form in time after the Shah left, thus the country was in a total shambles with no leader.

Khomeini and a small group of Mullahs took the oportunity and took over. It's here that the mass murders, the arrests the killing of students, teachers, anyone smart happened, it's only after the initial revolution that the ''islamic'' one begun, under Khomeini.


Afghanistan was always shit, the soviets fucked it up when it bearly begun to westernize, don't let anyone tell you anything else. At most, half of Kabul was ''decent''.

These are the kinds of things you should show leftists who are all pro-immigration. Before and after photos of all the countries that Islam smothered the life out of.

That's what Islam does. That's ALL Islam ever does. Devour freedom. Devour identity. Enslave everyone with their horseshit holy book.

There is no liberty in those picks either though.

A tiny fraction of people lived like that, all the rest live just like today.

The people there lived in totalitarean dictatorships, where torture was widespread and anyone could be picked during the night if they speak against the monarch or party and never be seen again.


Don't fool yourself mate, these countries were always shit.

What went wrong?

Groups like Al-Qaida, and ISIS came to be as underground organizations which were working toward the goal of restoring Islamic governments in the Middle East as Western powers spent all of the 20th Century trying to "modernize" their governments. This modernization is just Western code for installing and maintaining unpopular leaders so that industrialized nations can continue to extort the region for cheap resources. Muslims have no desire for secular government because the Sharia covers all aspects of social life and politics. They hate the West because we have robbed them of their autonomy and they are now using the arms and funds that we have poured into the region, against us.

FPBP

Wrong. Afghanistan was actually TOO secular and socialist for the Soviets and they originally came in to moderate their leftist politics. The cities were cosmopolitan liberal centers with culture and academia; and the countryside peasants were peaceable if not backward. America came in and armed a bunch of towelhead jihadis and brought the whole place down. Read Charlie Wilson's War. (Book, not movie).

Oy Vey

...

>ISIS

>in 1967

>They hate the West because we have robbed them of their autonomy
Afghanistan is a independent nation from the XX century, like the rest of the Middle East and Africa.
And what they have achieved since then? Goat fuckers, pedo marriages, drugs traffickers, rapists, honor killings, burkas and hijabs, warmngers and terrorists...Oh, and rapefugees.
Genocide is the only solution, but Cuck Western Nations forgot how to threat your enemies after WW2.

oh no I'm not saying that isn't a part of this, a big part, but the origins on the mujahadin can be traced back to the drug trade.
