If Afghanistan was a Pashtun nation-state they would have initiated language reforms to eliminate other identities. Also, having most of your national identity live in another state kinda goes against that whole "being a nation state" thing

Looks like the US embassy is maybe a mile and change from the center of downtown Kabul? Not even two miles from the presidential palace.

Also both countries may be more stable, but they are ruled by insane delusional autocrats.
