If the USA was really "nation-building", we'd see the advances you mention. But they're only interested in corporate profits, and so the USA left Iraq and Afghanistan a huge mess. We get our oil (or other resources) or we'll take our ball and go home!The United States spent almost $100 billion on recreating and equipping the Afghan army, so that the Taliban would hold a victory parade over the United States in the center of Kabul on american armored vehicles taken from the surrendered Afghan army...
The wildest corruption of capitalism in the non-financial (financial is all super-thievish) sphere can be understood by the example of Afghanistan, for the "restoration and stability" of which the United States spent $2 trillion. The country is in ruins and savagery. Where's the money? In offshores of ober-thieves, of course!
Can you imagine what kind of paradise could be built for $2 trillion in a country with a population of 32 million people, if not for total theft?
