brad johnson it is january the 10th of
00:02
2021
00:03
i know that you wanted to talk about
00:04
afghanistan i don’t know more than that
00:06
but i do
00:07
i do really want to ask this i know that
00:10
president trump was working his whole
00:11
term to try to disengage from
00:13
afghanistan
00:14
and i know that the military brass lied
00:16
to him
00:17
in order to put force his hand and trick
00:19
him into either keeping troops there
00:21
thinking he’d move the manhattan or
00:22
whatever i can’t remember the details
00:24
but
00:24
i remember military brass bragging that
00:26
they had deceived trump in order to keep
00:28
that war going
00:29
so what’s the update in afghanistan and
00:31
can you add any clarity to that
00:34
well yeah there’s interesting some
00:35
interesting aspects to what’s going on
00:37
right now
00:38
i there are still american troops in
00:40
afghanistan of course it’s much smaller
00:42
than it was but there are there
00:44
there is a contingent of u.s troops
00:46
there
00:47
and they have you know air support and
00:49
those sorts of things so
00:51
they are uh while small still have teeth
00:54
i’ll put it that way in afghanistan
00:56
however this is one of the things where
00:59
uh
01:00
i i wouldn’t call a president trump
01:03
isolationist but it’s one of those
01:04
things where he just did not like
01:06
overseas adventures uh at all and so
01:08
would
01:09
was very prone to pull back troops and
01:12
you know and did that in syria has done
01:14
that in afghanistan and just doesn’t
01:16
want our u.s troops overseas in harm’s
01:18
way
01:18
which you know i applaud the sentiment
01:20
but
01:22
uh some of these things have been
01:24
counted productive to one degree or
01:26
another
01:27
but what has happened beyond that is it
01:29
kind of set up
01:30
uh once if if trump had been well i mean
01:33
i think trump was reelected
01:34
but if he were being inaugurated on the
01:36
20th uh
01:38
instead of joe biden i think we would
01:40
see it there would be a chance of
01:41
keeping it stable because people
01:43
realized trump was
01:44
also prone to do stuff about problems
01:47
when they came up especially if he’d
01:48
been good about pulling out troops or
01:50
whatever
01:50
if it went wild he might respond and
01:53
he’s viewed
01:54
as unpredictable in that sense although
01:56
personally i find him fairly predictable
01:57
or reasonable
01:58
i should put it that way but what has
02:00
happened here is now
02:02
since november third election uh what
02:05
we’ve seen is
02:06
is the overseas environment start to
02:09
adjust
02:10
and what they’re doing is adjusting to
02:12
an incoming
02:13
biden administration and afghanistan in
02:16
particular
02:17
there’s been there were peace talks
02:19
going on that have been going on for a
02:20
while trying to solve some of the
02:22
problems there
02:23
essentially it’s you’ve got a civil war
02:24
which uh
02:26
you know welcome to afghanistan that’s
02:27
kind of the state of affairs that’s been
02:29
there since
02:30
afghanistan has been identified as a
02:32
place and
02:34
uh and of course it’s tribal in nature
02:37
so you have all these different
02:38
war chiefs in these different tribal
02:40
areas that run the area
02:41
and they hate their neighbors they’ve
02:43
been fighting for a thousand years and
02:45
those sorts of problems going on i’m
02:46
exaggerating the time frame but
02:49
it’s it’s that sort of situation where
02:50
they hate and distrust their neighbors
02:52
and fight from time to time and
02:53
all that but what’s happened here that’s
02:55
interesting is now
02:56
fighting has broken off nation broken
02:59
out nationwide
03:00
and we’re seeing a lot of strikes and
03:02
bombs going off and
03:04
and full-scale uh insurrections put it
03:07
that way that are starting to form and
03:09
take
03:10
place which is a new development even
03:12
though these peace talks
03:13
were going on and things were quieter
03:16
they’re in qatar
03:17
they were quieter leading up to this but
03:20
once it became clear that biden was come
03:22
in
03:22
was coming in it’s all broken loose and
03:25
there’s one other factor i want to
03:27
well to carry that thought forward that
03:30
of course is something i’ve talked about
03:31
quite a little bit
03:32
quite a little bit a bit biden being you
03:35
know pro-chinese and so utterly
03:37
weak uh is is somebody that they all
03:40
believe they can take advantage of and
03:42
just do what they want with
03:43
impunity because under obama you just
03:45
didn’t see obama
03:47
strike back at such things in fact he
03:49
would sort of encourage it the arabs
03:51
spring and
03:52
a lot of extremism came to exist
03:55
under the obama years so this is kind of
03:57
an open door
03:59
for those guys to become preeminent
04:00
again and you’re seeing taliban
04:03
step back into that and trying to grow
04:06
and a very interesting aspect of it is
04:09
that
04:10
nobody’s reporting is that 10 chinese
04:12
intelligence officers
04:14
just got wrapped up they were held in
04:16
afghanistan for 23 days i mean that’s
04:19
that’s more than three weeks and they
04:21
were held there finally let go
04:23
china pitched to fit i’m sure behind the
04:25
scenes and got them released
04:26
but what were they doing 10 of them were
04:28
all working taliban
04:30
so china’s in this thing they’re working
04:33
to come into
04:34
afghanistan as a force and they’re
04:37
they’re
04:37
seeing their surrogates in that area is
04:40
taliban
04:40
well who’s taliban the united states
04:42
we’re not buds
04:44
so this is china obtaining
04:47
and backing another surrogate who’s
04:49
going to be interested in doing attacks
04:51
on the united states
04:52
so it’s an important development one
04:54
that’s being ignored by
04:56
absolutely everybody but it’s deeply
04:58
significant and that’s
04:59
this is one of the problems with the
05:00
biden administration is everybody’s free
05:03
to go out and do this sort of thing
05:05
i’m telling you right now i guarantee
05:07
this is not going to be the only move
05:09
of that nature being made on the world
05:11
stage we’re seeing this
05:13
played out in other areas and this is
05:14
going to pop up and we’re going to see a
05:16
lot more
05:17
aggression on the part of of the enemies
05:19
of the united states
05:21
because now they’re they’re far more
05:22
free to act because biden
05:24
you know he’s senile he doesn’t you know
05:27
he’s not going to take decisive action
05:29
on anything
05:30
and once we see kamala harris if it’s
05:32
she you know
05:33
what everyone says is very extreme left
05:36
certainly the thing she’s been
05:37
describing
05:38
she is you know communist socialist
05:40
progressive liberal type persons
05:42
so a leftist movement overseas and the
05:44
communist chinese doing what they want i
05:46
don’t think is something that she will
05:48
see is a bad thing and i don’t think
05:50
they understand the
05:51
danger that presents because as they
05:54
grow and get more powerful eventually
05:56
they’re going to go to war to conquer
05:57
the rest of whatever they want around
05:59
them and that means another
06:01
a potential world war so it’s
06:02
extraordinarily dangerous in the long
06:04
run
06:04
and what we see here in afghanistan is
06:07
just a little
06:08
tiniest piece of the tip of that iceberg
