The reason Afganistan has had so much trouble with superpowers during the last few centuries is that they are an extremely important geographic location which would provide great strategic advantage to the power controlling them. That’s why American media has been trying to push the public to be sympathetic to a re-invasion until recently. Fortunately for Afganistan, they are very difficult to conquer for very long.
The US only cares about human rights and war crimes when they can be exploited to take over a nation’s resources.
Afghanistan had few resources, so that’s not necessarily true. But I do agree that the US only intervenes when it aligns with selfish interests.
But then, the same is true of every nation on the planet. The US isn’t unique in that, it just gets all of the attention.
