let's talk more about this with david lloyd, the author of the long war, the inside story of american. the gallus done since $911.00, and he was also communications adviser to the former african president, ash rough ghani. so thank you so much for joining us here. now 0, we were just hearing how the pan she valley managed to keep out the soviet managed to not have to surrender to the taliban back in the late nineties. so what happened now that effectively caused the taliban to take over in a matter of days? well, i want to say one caution only use from today. if the taliban have you taken the capital of at least taking the floor? it's not true guerrilla territory. it's easy to defend and difficult to take the time of an all round about the same. going to places the russians were in about like on one of the 7 occasions that they went into the violin to try and i'm, i'm a charmer. i'm a father with the come on. so it's difficult to hold. and i think if, if the, some of these fight managed to get into the side probably will be where they will manage that back from it. it's a remarkable n

david lloyd was the communications advisor, the former african president ashcroft connie. he says that resistance movements likely to grow as i've got stones, many problems remain entrenched already from the like we see responses from the north, from bulk and west, some things on social media from harassment. people saying they are rising up as requested by to see if he could emerge from the stand, the better the resistance to the power that much space and still able to operate. then i think this could be the beginning of some sort of a national resistance. we've heard from other parts of the country where there may be potential on the next and i think in the show clearly, but huge relief on the population will weigh on the taliban side. but quite soon we need to come. they've given the fact that there's no money in the banks. i'm huge problem with the economy and real challenges to the taliban in running a government very different skill set from running in search. and then i think you might see that pockets of resistance. i think punch will begin to grow and about across

david. it is interesting, how the americans have played this. i remember a speech lloydinjuly in singapore where he more or less said to the british, we don't need you in the pacific, guys. very grateful if you do a bit more in europe. is that basically putting the chinese off the scent? it might have been that. it certainly isn't what the british government wants to hear. the whole global britain agenda post—brexit is precisely about being everywhere, particularly in the fast—growing pacific region, and coincidentally or not, the royal navy's new aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth is right out in the pacific. it has just been visiting japan, it was in the south china sea rather publicly, as a show of presence. talk about a contested space! absolutely right. and it is certainly the agenda of the royal navy to have what they called a blue water ability, the ability to go anywhere in the world, particularly a region that is contested, that's strategically significant, where britain itself is perceived to have interest, so i don't think the americans suggesting britain ke

lloyd says, don't the 4.6 soldiers have been killed in a roadside explosion in afghanistan. the british prime minister david cameron has described the death the dreadfully sad day for the nation. i'm going to say old mother you said leave enough gone this time. have mine. hi mr. wisco mandel funday internet for non short topic. mother, you shall leave stuff. he has to give me to november life and into conflict. i was gonna say, no doubt, no police system should be sent. there was no afghan national army. there were no afghan national police. we see a situation totally transformed. aim has always been, can we make sure this country no longer is a haven for terror and terrorists? american troops training afghan soldiers ambushed by the taliban. as those american troops prepared to start coming home, the afghans realized they still need american help. they demand american fighter jets bail them out. american air support vote always be here to save today. goes one does what are we going to run vigor them or non mcadams angle nodes and i'm not sure i got my the other day when i was and i got i was meeting last o

catch up to these mega cap led etf's and i want to bring in luke lloyd from strategic wealth partners along with bell point chief strategist david when they go this passive route? >> look, charles. there's no holy grail. i've never found an investment strategy that was so star spangled awesome that i was going to use it to the exclusion of everything else. look there's a slice for passive investing in your portfolio and if you're unwilling to do the homework maybe that should be a large slice but you'll miss some of the best opportunities. tesla is a perfect example. it wasn't put into the index until late last year. you've missed the entire ride. charles: luke? >> yeah, i think the big thing that investors are going to miss out on is the diamonds in the rough, right? so that's where you add your alpha in your portfolio and that gets me up every morning. many of those diamonds are small cap stocks not covered by analysts and pretty unknown to the public. when you find that under valued small cap stock, it's like striking gold and as you just own the small cap index, you might own those diamonds but only with a very small waiting

david? >> well, i didn't think there was all that much distance between secretary of defense lloyd austin and general mckenzie. like courtney, i was struck by the sometimes painful honesty from general milley who really lived this war, commanded it, fought it, about the end result, that it was a strategic failure. he was honest about the stakes, the lessons learned that we tried to mirror image, he said, create a force that was so similar to our own and we forgot about cultural differences. he was very specific about saying it was a mistake to have time limits on our troop presence that should have been conditions based, that that was a mistake. he was honest about the lack of adequate intelligence once we didn't have advisers with the afghan forces. we didn't really know about their leadership, their morale, their ability to fight. i found that in a sense encouraging. all of the pain that the country feels about afghanistan i thought was visible on both sides from the senators and from the generals and secretary austin. in that sense i think this was a reckoning the country needed to have, i
