City: TurinState:
for over 60 years -after fall of British over there. They built Hospitals, schools, cities ,etc. By the help of Americans , the fanatics "won" the war against civilized Afghanistan , placing Russian military , then having Russians leave all in ruins including 3-4 M stiffs.As Ironies play out , now US and its cronies trying to build the same old cities, hospitals , and schools , that existed and flourished in there . Except now , they will never achieve anything , and their goals are as useless , as their fighting abilities.Israel should look very good at it all , and see if they really want to have themselves ruined by their US sponsors, giving away lands to nomads and creeps. NATO in Afghanistan for completely different reasons -1. Opium-they need it; 2-Iran; 3-Oil and closed proximity to such reserves. Communists knew and know how to handle all these,but correctly missing from action.
