Afghanistan - 9/11 to Evacuation, Everything You Didn't Know The Nu Deal

- News Commentary
The situation in Afghanistan is a chaotic one, and while the evacuation from Kabul has been at the forefront, conversations about where to place blame have also prevailed. It is easy with Afghanistan to only focus on this singular moment, but this has been a 20-year war across 4 presidencies. This episode starts with 9/11 and looks at each phase of the conflict and all the players - The US, the Taliban, Bin Laden, the Afghan Government, and the roles each US President played in their terms. There's very likely information in this episode you didn't know. My hope is to highlight the complexity of this situation and how even though the events we see today are no one's fault, they are also everyone's fault.
