Afghanistan is considered to be the "Graveyard of Empires" rsvpzxc just down to location and inhospitable mountainous terrain.
As to the people there, i would not call them "savages" considering they are about as diverse as it gets.
But if they are then they are now "savages" with access to a billions of dollars worth of American military hardware which includes helicopters and guides missiles.
Not exactly the most tenable of situations even if the Taliban are claiming to play nice for the time being.
