Agree with this.. It is gonna take atleast 7 decades for them to even remotely reach such height hence why it may be unfeasible or if they somehow miraclously develope in short span of time which is unrealistic and out of question..Pakistan has a population which is 5x larger than Afghanistan, plus Pakistan is far wealthier and developed
There is no way that Afghanistan can become as strong as Pakistan currently.
Due to the mountains separating China and Afghanistan, Afghanistan's trade (and therefore future development) will likely be dependent on access to Pakistan itself and its seaports
What is a strong Afghanistan gonna do, fight Iran? As far as cost effectiveness best distraction would be donate a few Russian gears back to Russia 'for repairs'. All loaded with good gears Russians too embarassed to ask to buy.
They won't fight anyone.. I just meant as distraction but it is actully not feasible because in order to create a distraction you have to create an element that can rival NATO and in order for the Americans to take that said X country serious like they do with China currently.
Example The US doesn't take serious even India, Russia or Pakistan because they can't rival NATO especially India they are viewed as a joke by the US. But the Americans see China as credible player who can replace them or even defeat them out right in a conflict hence why China can't realistically create a deflection tactic. China is viewed as the nomadic lion trying to take everything the Americans have worked for and it can't unchange while with Russia being viewed as rouge state with alot of nukes that is dangerous but not an existential or equal rival like China..
