No. The country has too many raw materials that are needed by the big boys. Chinca is doing that one belt/road thing and India with US's help is stopping that shite
The country is sitting on the largest pile of rare earth metals in the world.... and everybody wants a piece of it.

It has nothing to do with money.
It’s just pride.
No one wants to say “we lost.”

Rare earth is a misnomer. They’re actually common.
The issue is pollution. The process we use to extract them from the earth is hugely toxic, and so we’ve chosen to source them from places that don’t care. Like China.

Afghanistan had been "civilized" by the Brits. When the Brits started trying to pull out and leave behind a puppet government that would keep the protections for women and the other trappings of civilized western society, the Russians invaded.
This is bad history.
