IMO, Afghanistan had a pretty great gift handed to them by the USA, but they didn't value it at all and threw it all away for a crappy theocracy as soon as we pulled out. Stark contrast to South Korea.
To be clear, I now think it's a terrible idea to force democracy on a country that doesn't want it, but hindsight is 20/20.
Seems pretty disingenuous to include this, no? No invasion ever occured, compared to the million or so deaths in Afghanistan and god knows how many by the time the Ukraine conflict is over.
