“Meanwhile in Afghanistan things are peachy keen.
At least the Taliban shut down the opium trade the US supported the whole time...”
Are you F-ing kidding me?!
Wow. So high on so much Hopium! And of course your post includes a Leftist anti-American lie and slander.
You should go there. No, seriously. YOU SHOULD GO TO AFGHANISTAN and look before writing as if you know something about it.
“The Taliban have always had a complicated relationship with the opium trade. As a narcotic, opium is haram, or forbidden under Islamic law. But at the same time opium production has tended to increase in areas they have controlled, where local leaders reportedly raise money to fund their operations by imposing “taxes” on poppy farmers and others involved in the trade.”

You seem to have gave all for the cause of nation building.
