"18 years after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, the capital city of
Kabul is prospering. In rural areas, it’s a different story entirely."

Via Jennifer Freeman, who wrote "We don’t wanna do “nation building”,
so, surprise surprise surprise, nothing gets built. We broke it, but we
have no plans to fix it."

Cheers,
