Don’t believe that? Look at what happened in Afghanistan following the collapse of the provisional government.

You mean the colonial government?

Cultural and ideological domination? Hardly, both nations have their own distinct cultural and ideological identities.

So did congo. I guess algeria wasn't colonised by france because they still had "their own distinct cultural and ideological identites"?

Gish-gallop.

The topic of debate was whether US colonised West Germany and Japan following WW2.

I’ll take your pivot as your concession.

This ain't highschool debate club sweetie.

The debate is weather occupying afghanistan would have been justified. You say yes, I say no. Nor was it justified to occupy western europe after the war. Or japan.
