The problem is, can Afganistan be profitable?

200 years ago, colonialism is simply a land grab, grabbing the most land was the goal

But than, I thought about it, not all areas can effectively be converted to profit, or the margins are so low its not worth it

After all, its not like anyone still believes in "white man's burden", therefore, not every piece of land is worth taking, and not every puppet government, every concession is going to be profitable

I still believe that Afganistan lacks profitablility, after all, the East India Company failed to find Afganistan profitable. Even after 150+ years of technological advancement, I still fail to see the profit it Afganistan.

Also, it seems like its more expensive to wage war nowadays, further decreasing the projected profits of Afganistan
