Mean Trees Posted August 23 Posted August 23 The mountainous terrain is beautiful but also shows why empires die trying to go against it.
BrokenMachine Posted August 23 Posted August 23 (edited) Why? We already have Peru which is closer and has similar landscapes Edited August 23 by BrokenMachine

Obviously I'm talking about specific propaganda videos such as the one posted here "look how lovely and welcoming the Taliban are. Western media lied" etc.
Sugar-Rush Posted August 24 Posted August 24 No thanks. I'm not ready for my stoning and execution era.
Bosque Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Not people right on cue with their travel propaganda influencing (they've been popping up for me for a couple months now) right as the Taliban basically bans women from all public life

If the UAE scam millions of people into visiting their overpriced, artificial cities every year while having a human rights record not much better than Afghanistan, I don't see what's stopping the Talibans from luring backpackers in! If I'm not mistaken, prior to the civil wars and Islamism of the 1970s-1980s, Afghanistan was kind of a backpackers destination during the mid 20th century (mostly for opium tho)

Many travel content creators are payed to make countries look decent enough to attract tourism, and get special treatment because they're promoting the country, it won't be the same if you go there on your own. Wtf is your seasoned tour guide going to do when ISIL-K blasts a suicide bomb right next to you ? 1
