Crucial point. Aghans became even poorer under US/NATO military occupation, as 90% of the $2+ trillion the US spent in Afghanistan went to the US economy, into the pockets of private for-profit contractors. Colonialists never develop countries; they underdevelop and exploit them

What the US did with its $2.3Trillion in Afghanistan in 20yrs? The number of Afghans living in poverty has doubled, and the areas under poppy cultivation have tripled. More than one-third of Afghans have no food, half no drinking water, two-third no electricity.
