    Another ingloriously lost war of the "hegemon" ..

    After the withdrawal of Soviet troops, Najibullah held out for another three years.

    The Macedonian took Afghanistan (Bactria) - his empire collapsed. The British took - similarly. The USSR took it - similarly. Now the States are leaving there. We are waiting for the collapse. Will the Chinese be smart enough not to take Afghanistan?
