How come the Greeks were able to conquer and rule over Afghans for 200 years but modern superpowers couldn’t last longer than a few decade?

They didn't force them to accept gay marriage
Also no Islam

They didn't have a warlord religion back then and the Greeks came and built nice things.

Ancient empires were pragmatic. "Hey, nice customs. We don't care. We're going to build some cities and do some trading."
Modern empires try to change the culture.

Different objectives. The USSR wanted to use Afghanistan as training to harden up troops for a potential war of conquest in Western Europe, turns out that war is hard so just stick to murdering your own citizens. The USA wanted to overthrow the government that attacked them to prevent further attacks. Found out it's cheaper to go back and kill the government if they get uppity rather than try and convert them to a rational government. Also Democrats have been throwing victories away for as long as they have been a party.

absolutely none of that is true
Afghanistan sits on a major trade route across asia, it's why empires periodically invade and try to control it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the hogwash bullshit you're trying to spread.

this is the real reason why, it was an anal pedarast's paradise in the greco-bactrian kingdom.
William Collins
No Islam.

because when alexander the great conquered what is now afghanistan it was already ruled by the Achaemenid Empire, and the rule transitioned from the persians to the macedonians.

It was easier for the greeks because they look like Afghans, they're both swarthy and have green eyes.
Americans have red/purple skin and blue eyes, which is uncommon in Afghanistan.

By the time Alexander the Great reached Afghanistan, half of as many Greeks already lived there as in all of Greece, the Persians had been moving troublesome populations there like Russians did with Siberia

A shared love of pedophilia.
Thomas Richardson
Having love for femboys != pedophilia.
Julian Collins
Ass we can.
Carter Brown
Persians used to exile Greeks from the mediterranean coast and the black sea to that area.
Kind like the siberia for the ussr.
So when Alexander reached there he found large settlements and communities of greek origin or total greek.
Sadly the chinks got us in the end.
Also there was another greek kingdom close the Indo-greek kingdom

Ancient people commited war crimes modern governments don't

The Greeks weren't ruled by a criminal Jewish cabal, unlike Russotards and Amerikwans.

By the end of the occupation, at least half of our soldiers were brown.
