You have demonstrated in two simple sentences you have no idea of the history of Afghanistan. Quit making a fool of yourself and do some reading for a change.No, but context should be.
The first picture is an attempt by a firm to generate investment in Afghanistan by trying to portray it as "modern".
The second one is a representation as it always kind of has been.

..it's been a shithole for decades...the Taliban are celebrating --hahahahah --celebrating that they just got back their shithole = idiots
I understand the history very well... like most of the Middle East, you had elites who wanted to be more like the west, a kind of cultural imperialism the rank and file rejected, which is why King Zahir, the Shah of Iran, and a bunch of other petty monarchs all lost their jobs, and a few of them ended up in front of firing squads.
We injected ourselves into a 40 year civil war, and got exactly the kind of response we got... because we never fucking learn.
Usually, if we think a petty despot is awesome, their people don't.

The Shah was long overdue.. We should have paid attention to the student protest.. Iran didn't want MORE strict religion.
The problem was we put him back into power in 1953, and he proceeded to oppress any opposition except for the Ayatollahs.... So when the people got fed up with him, they Ayatollahs were the only authority that could step into the gap.

In Saudi Arabia there is a two tier system, where the lighter skin Arabs, get $70,000 a year of oil royalties, and the darker skin ones only get $30,000 a year. It is because the lighter skin arabs, think down on the darker skin because up till 1945 those people were still slaves. Arabs dont think much of people who are descendants of slaves, because they believe it is better to die fighting than submit to slavery...That used to be the way of the United States, but i am not sure of what the left does today.AND Tunisia is a shithole.....they're riding donkeys.....grass huts with camels.....their military were shitheads..don't try to compare it with the US--that's their culture/etc
