Week in Review: How Afghanistan’s Fall Changes the World, and Much More
Show Notes
- America’s retreat and the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan is a historic event that will have major effects globally that reverberate for years to come.
- Iran benefits from this Islamofascist regime driving America out of Afghanistan and taking over billions of dollars’ in armaments.
- This destroys America’s credibility within NATO and among European allies, and it has European leaders speaking of the need for greater military independence.
- Russia and China will benefit, not only by making lucrative deals with a Taliban-led government but also in how it strengthens their plans to absorb territory currently safeguarded by the U.S.
- America’s evacuation dealt a terrible blow to the brotherhood between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
- We also talk about how the American military has been combating white supremacy and seeking greater diversity in gender identity, the strategic Nord Stream 2 pipeline finally being completed, a defiant announcement from Hezbollah in Lebanon, and an investigation into election fraud in Colorado that could have much larger implications.
