There's no weapon smuggling happening anywhere else in the world?

I am not an afghan (Thank God), I don't particularly like them, but the slur you are using can hurt Pakistani pathans equally as much.

Can the afghani not do anything better than smuggling, wars and drugs?

 

[Trango Towers]

How the hell did the driver escape? Unmm fishy

 

[SIPRA]

All drama. Nothing else. Our security agencies are dipped in corruption from bottom to top.

 

[R2D2]

Anything less than 50 crores is not corruption and does not fall under NAB law.

You are missing out bacha bazi

The non Pashtun Afghans if given the chance are good people, but these Pashtuns there are brutes with a low IQ .

They are obsessed with war and war is the only thing they are good at, nothing else.
After fighting a "Foreign invader" USA for about 18 years, they declared victory and took over as rulers. Then made an irreversible mess of the country in 18 months .
War and destruction also happens to be their major export .
One little city of Pakistan, sialkot exports more than the entire Afghanistan.
Afghani export at least the legal ones are worth 1.8 billion. Sialkot exports 2.2 billion worth of sporting and other items.
But no, they are the superior race

Afghan's and people like them in our part of country are only good at Smuggling, violence, bacha bazi and their specialty is blowing themselves in markets/hospitals/schools and other public places.

Sad part is these MFers could retire a good life with all the tourism inflows but they choose to remain in the stone age.
