u. s. should remain in afghanistan? obviously that's off the table. but is that what you're saying should have happened that the u. s. should not be withdrawing. right right 1st and then, but i'm sorry, pressed on. he brushed on a go for it. tell me what do you think? i don't think you're seeing would make any difference or seeing in be right. it's not like the word come in and fight again and all that. let's look at practical solution practical solution right now at the moment is legitimacy for the followed by the government. as the taliban government, that could be done without the usb. this could also have been that where everyone, every young person wants to run by the fact that they're going to kill incidence back, going to cut it out, right? it won't be mean to, doesn't the 1st place to kill, right? so you have to understand the narrative that people have a more boost every time they are. we will be attacking those be. but i can show you the messages that i just got, where they have said that people work with the us. let's burn them. i live next

u. s. should remove.

u. s. did not have enough ghana. stan, he also said that all mission's abroad for the u. s. military now should be in a fundamental interest of the u. s. and he felt that that was not necessarily the case in afghanistan for many years. he also mentioned 2 countries by name china and russia. he said those 2 countries pose in the view of a joe biden, a bigger threats in many ways to the united states. moving forward then afghan stan is or was and he said the u. s. needs to focus on china and russia and other things by mention cyber cyber threats as well. he said, there is nothing more that china and russia would want than to see the united states bog down and africana stand for another 10 or 20 years. the big picture here is this. joe biden has always felt that he wanted to know that the u. s. should get out of afghanistan completely, when he was vice president to brock obama. he actually advised then president obama to do just that. there was one problem. joe biden then was not the president. he was the vice president and brock obama took different advice. he decided to stay in afghanistan. joe

u. s. should continue to withdraw from afghanistan and effort that started by the way, during the obama administration and continued through the trump administration. and keep in mind, who is president trump, who negotiate a deal with the taliban to basically lay off us trips as us troops were being pulled out of the country. and that evacuation effort, of course, continued, and the overall mission continued as the evacuation effort continues, as we speak. and again, you know, this isn't, this is a mission. as the president said, that is, was always expected to be complicated. that was always expected to be. you know, fraught with, you know, certainly difficulties. and again, there were warnings about the potential for attacks, and that remains the case still undoubtably. all that said, this will likely be a stain on the bite and presidency on another separate note. i want to wrap up quickly. president biden is meeting today with israeli prime minister and colleague bennett at the white house that

u. s. should look at china and say, how are they making friends around the world? and i think it's so interesting with the vice president campbell, a harris in vietnam right now, that the u. s. was going to announce that it was giving a 1000000 doses of the vaccine to vietnam. and china preempted by saying we're giving to 1000000 doses. well that's the kind of competition i think would be good . who could be doing more to help people around the world in the pandemic get out of poverty, provide electricity, clean drinking water. there's so many things that we need to do and could be doing by this kind of positive competition. medea benjamin co founder of and he will organization code pink. joining us here live on asi international. great to see you as always. media, thanks for joining us on the thank you i. let's cross back live now to water and i've got to start off season. what i'd gas did is live again in the capital region . i'm just getting into the wee hours of the night for you to go out. i know you confirm 2 explosions of the apple today. but since then, and

u. s. how are these comments going down in the us? well, i think that most americans, for a long time felt that the u. s. should get out of afghanistan. that's what all of the polls show. however, this is not necessarily the way that most americans wanted it to happen. i think a lot of people in this country are quite frankly shocked because as the day went on, the 1st word of an explosion outside the airport immediately raised alarm bells in the us. of course, i was well as elsewhere in the rest of the world, particularly here in the u. s. with so many family members who have loved ones that are in the military there at the airport, helping to evacuate people. but the 1st reports for maybe 2 us soldiers injured or killed, then it went up to maybe 8 or 10. and then of course now 12 and then just within the last couple hours now it's gone up to 13 with 18 that are injured. so as the day went on, i think it really sunk in here in washington and really in the united states on how bad this was. this was the worst casualty count for the us military since august 2000, 1120 years ago. where was that? oddly enough, afg

u. s. is responsible, essentially for making this mess in afghanistan and the u. s. should be responsible for cleaning it up. but at the same time, the aging also wants to play a role in what it's called, the reconstruction of afghanistan. since the taliban take over, aging has been fairly consistent in its message. it said that it wants to see and inclusive and moderate government formed by the taliban. one that speaks to all of the guns, all stakeholders in the country. china also says that it's very open to playing a role that wants to potentially see that. can i any economic investments in the region perhaps expand its own strategic interest with the belt and road initiative through afghanistan. but more than looking at the opportunity paging is also very anxious about the possible risks of this takeover, especially because it's just a small border with afghanistan in via it's shin john region. so china's also at the same time, very anxious that i've got a son, could become a hot bed for extremism for terrorism. so china wanting to play a role in i've gone a son is also
