Before the US intervention there was a functioning state and no evidence of mass starvation. After 20 years of US and allied western intervention in Afghanistan there exists a state to which the interventionists object and there is evidence of mass starvation. I would suggest that the US and allied intervention therefore created the circumstance that leads, or which will lead, to mass starvation and consequent deaths. When the United States invaded Afghanistan, the population was about 20 million. With the highest fertility rate outside Africa, the population has since exploded to about 40 million.
The United States did not in any way try to ‘develop’ Afghanistan. The trillions wasted on that country mostly went to politically connected defence contractors with a bit skimmed off by corrupt local officials. What the United States did do, was feed this burgeoning population without making any attempt to ensure that the Afghani economy could support it. In the next 20 years, the population is slated to double again to 80 million, yet the Afghanis can’t even feed half of their current population. Now the United States has suddenly cut off food aid, and frozen external bank accounts blocking imports.

The West is trying to starve them.
