    The problem is, they’ve actually successfully reduced corruption from the unjust kleptocracy the US installed. Shits pretty bad when the fucking taliban can come along and create a less corrupt government.

And when everyone is power is just blatantly stealing while being propped up by US agencies for being cooperative, well, it trickles down.
