because all these warlords in northern alliance types that the u. s. had backed later post 911. they were responsible and known throughout afghanistan for committing grave atrocities. and so when they were, when the taliban came to power, even by the women of, of afghanistan were seen as a lesser of 2 evils. so it wasn't as black and white it because the afghan war is portrayed as a women's rights issue. in the west, i mean that was the sort of overriding narrative right through everything justified that, that the intervention and that's how it played out anyway in terms of the liberal press and so forth was, the reality is much more complicated. and the point marcus was making about the u. s. strategic interests. so the question is, what are those strategic interests? and yes, you have the tapi, the torque menaced an afghan pakistan india pipeline. that's definitely a western interest. why is that a western interest? because that's in direct competition with the c pack of chinese pakistan energy corridor, which is part of the belton road initiative. so these are competing suppl

s. military in africa on together with the after an army which was trained and ultimately equipped by washington, it took the taliban a matter of weeks to conquer the whole of the country. now any one we've just an ounce, all enlightenment about military affairs. we'll conclude that it will simply inconceivable for the taliban on their own. so conquered afghanistan, a country exceptionally large, exceptionally diverse. and with the american military presence, that is why pizza leading to the taliban. victory in africa and on the day they end to oh, i stood almost alone on television by saying that i believe the west america and also britain arrived at an informal agreement with the taliban, where by the americans and the british would allow the taliban to emerge victorious so long to ask on his son and in return the taliban would have to ensure that american america and britain retain that strategic influence in afghanistan and what we have seen since. in fact, what we saw within days of

s. military had and the u. s. a. back to afghan army, that was as we spend tens of billions, i think over $80000000000.00 pro training that just evaporated. so it is astounding that the american public doesn't say what are we doing, and why are we throwing so much money into this military? that doesn't even when was and isn't this a time to really cut the pentagon budget, which is something that our organization is really involved along with david groups when without warrants or, i mean, we are trying to push for a real grass roots up rising to say why are you throwing more money at this military and the depth and destruction that's here it talks about is not just the military, it's through the economic warfare that is now one of the major ways that the u. s. wages these wars with sanctions that are so cruel and barbaric that they're designed to star people so that people will rise up against these governments. so yes, there is a lot that needs to be exposed to bad. b u. s. policy on receives but more importantly we

they had all the nonsense about the russian bounties on the u . s. soldiers in afghanistan. they so, you know, we don't even have to go back to the iraq weapons of mass destruction. so they are responsible for long was this information than anything to me about to you actually get something wrong. i usually because they report some mainstream media outlets are wrong, but they never got so many big things wrong as these are basically media outlets that are calling for censorship. by this standard me the, the 10s of thousands of hours at c, n and m s, n, b, c. they should be deleted by the standard that they are claiming about dis, information. and, and what, what, what the injury is that when you go to you, no matter what you watch, they propose that you watch mainstream media. so, you know, they, they don't, you know, they don't have a dog in this, in spite of course, they do. they're losing their market share and market generous money. it's a, this is a business proposition for them. they want it for money. they're willing to see freedom of speech completely oblivious. they

this is allowed the u. s. to haven't had your money. america's greatest preponderance isn't it isn't military. in fact, although it might seem like that it's the u. s. dollar and it's, it's economic preponderance is financial preponderance more than military. military is just a tool to open up, to allow it to dominate globally financially. but i think george pointed out something that's interesting, you know, the middle east will become in a new cold war with china. the middle east will become a sort of contested zone. aw, george or wells geopolitical math in 1084. this endless war with east asia, but the middle east is changed and changed because of us action. so there is now an arc of resistance that very well network to very well equipped and fortified, which stretches from iran all the way to lebanon. and that's a direct result of us and its allies, various operations and escapades in places like syria and iraq. and i think there was a tipping point came in january 2020 when iran fired missiles, a dozen mi

but that being said, the u. s. obviously has communicate a clear had demonic policy. and this is also the problem why it wants to, it will prevents their parents from them or as a 5 year time. because as long as you have successive relies on the use economy, then there will be able to exert or come marketing to political influence. now, but in order for it be in for washington to keep, to see or being a dependency, it also applies to americans have to push to europeans to not get anymore. chinese technologies, no more russian energy or weapon systems, no mountain road, no arctic corridor with rush hour, no investment agreement with china, no common banks payment system. because the songs are constantly reliant on your, on the u. s. and they can also extend excited or sorry, the over europe. so for example, the us dollar and i can't say written reflections. if i can extend what you were that were saying they're glen to damian, here. so at the bridesmaid comes back into mine. is it the washington funds europe, they'll continue. always be a bridesmaid. and then an old ma

u. s. japan, i mean even kana canada and they look kind of feel a little bit lost. they're just not wanted on that stage. they did, but you know, they had sort of furniture to that to the proceedings are hooked to where you are. so where we've been discussing, i sure. yeah. coming from. well, i'm going to tell you why gentlemen, this is a perfect segue to go to glen right now. glenn has a new book out. absolutely fascinating. subtitle to it. i really like it. europe as the western peninsula of greater eurasia. explain, or simply an argument simpler. you're kind of grown up and it's a trans atlantic partnership as an economic region, which shows them translates into it so, massaging foreign policy. now my, my argument simpler, they can amik interests tend to discounts for more and you have this new greater you ration constellation coming along bush by. 1 countries like china, russia and it's kind of demanding that the, you know, i mean, it's fine. so we have cooperating with this new constructor in order for not in order not to become to isolate in and i guess, wait
