Ignored in the sense that the conflicts role is downplayed and deemed irrelivent and portrayed as if the British simply weren´t interested in Afghanistan . All empires do this when they get their assess handed to them by the supposedly weaker foe.
Wow! how prophetic .... Kabul just fell to the Taliban and US is in disgrace....they left all their equipment and their people....yes China wants Afghanistans minerals so the show goes on.....this guy should be advising govt about Afghanistan
Shah Shuja was not even full popalzai, his mother was Indian and he was one of 300 children of Timur shah. he never lived in Afghanistan and he couldn't even speak Pashtu.
@@MuhammadYousaf-yf2pg At least he didn't sell his country like a coward but also Shah Shuja was mentally sick. he would torture his workers. most of the history was written by the British because he lived in a British captive for 30 years.
Also this was not Afhgans who fought, but Taliban.... so Afghans did have little role to cause defeat because in every case they sided with the foreign invaders.
Lol what? Taliban didn't exist in Soviet times, the Mujhadeen were all Afghans who were aided by America to fight the soviets. All Pakistan did was brainwash young Afghan refugees into doing Jihad in Afghanistan sometime during the brink of the Soviet defeat. All Pakistan did was fund extremist groups and these groups would later become the Taliban. We can thank your country for terrorism in Afghanistan. Oh and just remember who converted you to Islam you former British slave.
Not very prophetic regarding the Taliban taking over again. Interesting to hear how convinced former CIA agent was regarding this. Obviously this is hindsight and it is great to listen to what very knowledgeable were thinking years in advance.
