u. s. david is going about this the right way? i think it's going about it the only way realistic play. no one can at the moment. i don't think united states alone can determine the outcome of what happens. yeah, it's going to require the effort so many outside players plus certain willingness by all the parties, any p o p at a compromise, which comes very hard for so i think tonight and stage is doing what is often not always, but often does in an effort to try to encourage a negotiated solution to the problem. in addition to dealing with even managerial prices, and i can't under state the concern that the u. s. has about the amount of terry and prices. the u. s. is the largest donor of humanitarian assistance today. and it has traditionally been the largest donor or many decades. this is important to the united states and it does not like to see this effort basically result in a worse situation than it has been dealing with for decades. on the issue, i want to say one comment on the issue of context. i agree that united states n

week, as you just to quickly ask you though, is it true that you and david fincher and john singleton whereas to speak to the u . s. military about disaster scenario planning? some of the us military toward the film directors would know about it or is that a myth? i don't remember that. i'm sorry, but they were, i was involved in a pentagon in a government, a rearranged seminar with a bunch of filmmakers. and we were consulted as to what what was going on when i saw it work, but it had no meaning. it was just a reach out, reach out to another group, spending money was what they were doing. the government spent a fortune doing all this stuff, and as you know, it was wasted money as it wasn't afghan. yeah, they taken their advice. your advice know that there wouldn't have been the war and iraq her instance. i mean, on the withdrawal from afghanistan, larry wilkerson, i mean, he's been going to tell us, and by do we're going to ask him when he's been talking about this. i mean, do you think it's possible that the pentagon had a interest in it being a chaotic withdrawal because there are voices in the military industr

u. s. while pulling out and pulling back in certain parts of the world, particularly obviously in afghanistan over the last few weeks. david, this was always a us lead mission. know that started with counter terrorism, became nation building. really, the europeans were always there because of national article 5 out of solidarity with the u. s. so because this was always a washington initiative. why is it that you feel quite so betrayed at the moment? well, it's a good question. i think it's because of the way in which the withdrawal was announced, it was set out that the press there wasn't really, you know, there was consultations on an eventual withdrawal. i think. but i don't think there was consultations on the way the, the timeframe that withdrawal would occur, that it occurred over the summer that caused a lot of allies by surprise. and, you know, it really showed the allies, they, they had the choice of withdrawing on the u. s time table or not withdrawing at all . and you know, that's a, that's a moment of strategic confront. her ability that was exposed. pretty pretty. you know, pretty importantly, but you know, we

i've kind of son is in the 2nd david post us reality with cabal airport, to void western troops and under the full control of the taliban. u. s. arm and vehicles, helicopters and munition cannot be seen abandoned side to terminals from comple, our senior correspondent, motor gas to you have sent this exclusive report. it has been barely a day that the american troops have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. we have been able to walk around the various hangers, the various sections of the airport and it is a mess. it is a mess. it is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport. the taliban and the authorities are now clearing away. will the barbed wire over? well, the trash will be exploded munitions, which we saw plenty of mortar rounds grenades, munitions. aside from that, we also saw the military vehicles, the helicopters, the jets left behind by the united states. one of the black hawk helicopter were left behind the house with the evacuation. the united states have said that all the girls have been sabotaged. we can see suddenly sign that the y, as for example, of have been caugh

but david, i mean, we need to look at the past and look at what's happened and i've gone to start on the u. s. as role here, and i'm sure, you know of general stanley mac crystal. he served as commander of us and nato forces. and i've got a son in 2009 to 2010. so this is what he explained in the run up to the 2009 serge of us troops. he said the objective was that the government of, i've got to start sufficiently control its territory to support regional stability and prevent it's used for international terrorism. if you look at that objective specifically, was that achieved? again, there have been many objectives stated by many people. over the past 20 years, you can see recordings and they're all over the media. now of our current representative masters, all my homicide saying that our objective in going into afghanistan was to eradicate the remnants of the taliban and bring democracy. that is something that he said back in 2002 different people have said different things with different levels of authority. one thing i think is clear, we did not have a single unified objective. as we were

u. s. holler, me a skeptic. scott. i was a skeptic when our former president met with the taliban and i didn't camp david's last january of 2018. i understand doing whatever it takes to try and work on relations here and keep our people safe. but i don't trust the tell at all for their word that it's been proven time and time again that we cannot trust them . so all i can say is that i'm glad that i'm, we're learning now that our soldiers are, has demolished a lot of the equipment that was sent over there and rendered inoperable. that's news that we just found out, but i'm still concerned about all of the equipment that we had to ask and forces that us now in the hands of the telemark. that is not okay, but there's really nothing we can do about that. we were training their horses so that they could defend themselves. they just surrendered to the taliban. there really didn't. they didn't really put up any fight. to be honest. i think that's the thing that our intelligence probably warned the president that you could see from the outside there was not going to stand up despite what this person continuously said. but i t

u. s. empire basically collapsed on august 15th in the place. we're all on pires. go to die and that's afghan, a stand. so remarkably on the actual 50th anniversary, david is the day when we essentially saw america collapse and capital. yeah, there's a lot to that story and you're part of the day share a little bitter 100 g o pull up politics and me. but i did look at the war and as you know, i, my background came from, you know, pretty high level connection, the air force and, you know, they have 2122 from the stuff that no one knows about that i was privy to you over 30 years ago, i don't think it's over max. i think this thing's going to accelerate. i think we've got a lot to pay for. i think these deeds of what's going on in the global empire is ending and it's not going to be a pretty and there is one week and i'm a indicator that would indicate that things are fundamentally different and that would be inflation. and for a long, long time, the inflation has been hidden. its been hidden principally by outsourcing jobs and factories that china, where the slave labor and china wars, giving america a lot of cheap goods. so we didn't really have that in

u. s. supreme court. i'm my own as my own attorney and i had the benefit of support, but similar luminaries included in the late mike wallace. 60 minutes historian howard in make david and i met an officer knew i'm chomsky was repeated nice retained in my defense. so, you know, i am and golden by such a past history and support moral support that i can prevail in court and prove my innocence. and the fact that i have been an agent or a piece, not any particular government, because wallace pushed for the mutual interest of both us and iran in line with my iranian american identity unnoticed. cafe that us authorities have said that they've been listening to your phone calls for over a decade. something like 33000 phone calls. when you heard that g feel is your case is an extraordinary case or will you not surprise is just this part of the course in today's america? no, i was not really surprised because for example, when i was assisting the daughter of age and missing on mister robert levinson, and she indicated that she was coordinating activities with the be i, anybody had any problem with, you know, any of the, i know that i was assisting you and i said no because

david because we found something to finally disagree about. i've agreed with pretty much everything is that but, but i don't think that the, the broad term is perception that the u. s. was behind the who is something miler to the relationship. i think it's actually pretty big and it's, it goes to just how limited the capacity for a broader cooperation is yes, there are these moments where, where turkey in the united states can cooperate. but the, the broader story is that the turkey perceives the united states as, as most a militia malevolent power power, it has a power that is working to undermine and limit turret. and i mean, it's not, it's not a minor thing, right? that this prosecution of a couple of this important so the civil side leader is based on the, the, the, the, the united states. and i think that that's, that speaks to the way the turkish leadership perceives the united states. right. well, thank you. we'll have to leave it there. fascinating conversation. st lawrence university, associate professor of history howard isis dot, and university of oxford research. golly delay, thanks so much for these interesting thoughts today really appreciate you join
