It always is when it comes to these very broadly subjective lists like which country is "most free" or "least corrupted". They are always without an exception propaganda.

This one is quite obvious, the angle is clearly that they are trying to give the impression that the US being overcome and forced to leave its brutal 20 year long occupation was somehow bad for Afghanistan.

The US is a criminal state, currently illegally holding Afghan assets for several billions. There really is no limit to these imperialists greed.
