Afghanistan Chaos and What Comes Next with Tom Luongo

In this episode, Whitney and Robbie Martin of Media Roots discuss the Biden administration’s plan to withdraw some, but not all, US military personnel from Afghanistan by September 11 of this year. The real reasons for the US invasion, the CIA’s role in Afghanistan pre- and post-invasion and the parallels between Biden’s withdrawal plan and that of his predecessor Donald Trump are also discussed. Whitney and Robbie also cover the recent confirmation of the US Capitol Police stand-down order on January 6th and the disturbing background of the military bases in Texas currently housing migrant children at the US-Mexico border.
