Before America, Soviets beat the holy hell out of them until they were begging for the same Americans for help and Pakistan's came to save their A$$SEs from being wiped off by the Russians, if not for America/Pakistan Afghani's would speaking Russian today, and saluting Putin. Really a Namak Haram nation, never ever learn to be friends or loyal to any of its neighbors or any other nation, excessively overestimate their own fake bravdo thinking that no one can defeat them when literally everyone came in, defeat them, control their country, kill as many as they wanted, and once tired they leave for the likes of Taliban 2.0 to come brag how they defeated the said power.
