so the u.s. policy is truly bizarre and very difficult to understand, not least of the desperate attempt to become friends with iran, a country that is a state sponsor of terror, and i just want to remind, you know, your audience that salman rushdie is a great personal friend of mine who was attacked, and someone tried to kill him, and that person is an activist and a big follower of the spring leader in iran, and i find it very difficult that that happened without the knowledge of iran and its proxies. and this is an attack on u.s. soil, by the way. michael: can i ask you, just to connect off a little bit more explicitly, the two threads that you started to unravel, the thread about china and saudi arabia, then threat about the united states and iran. i certainly think that those two things are related, but let's -- and i think you probably think the same as i do, but let me hear you explain the connections between the two. prof. haykel: so, you know, the view that came to dominate during the ob

the u.s. experience here. i'm not going to go into talking about the 17 nations that fought in the war, we're really going to focus on experiences of american troops so, as we talked about in this class before, we talked a little bit about the principles of war. and one of them is that war on paper, such as these kinds of maps and drawings and strategies, by the main decision makers, is not the same kind of war on the ground. weather and terrain, of course, are key elements in any military decision. military historians have not adequately addressed how these things affect the individuals and how they affect the landscape of the places where the war is fought. they have certainly done a good job of explaining the importance of weather and terrain to war making decisions. but i think that we need to look at the wars from an environmental perspective to understand the sort of ramifications that these conflicts take. and have. so, many of the soldiers and marines that end up in korea, especially i

number one, how long was it after the u.s. intervened in afghanistan until al qaeda was defeated, and was not the taliban at a very weak point at that time? secondly, why did we wait so long to leave after osama bin laden was killed, to wait another 10 years and the taliban got stronger, the afghan government not seemed to ever get their act together. finally, on the withdrawal, how much of the withdrawal was based on recommendations of the state department to defend the embassy and withdrawal troops from the bagram airbase, and not have sufficient amounts of troops to use bagram to exit people as well as the airport? just wanted to see what you think about blinken versus the department -- host: i worry we may not be able to get to all of those questions, but mr. weitz, a final couple minutes to take on as many as you can. guest: the caller raises an important issue. the setbacks in afghanistan, the mistakes and failures have been a common feature of the war for the past 20 years. when we invaded the country, we did that with

and that the u.s. intelligence in afghanistan continues to remain strong even though troops have left. this idea that perhaps afghanistan will again fall into a safe haven for terrorist groups is not really based on strong empirical information. but again, what does this mean for the biden administration? i think it is essential the biden administration and congress create a plan of engagement for afghanistan that focuses on diplomacy and basic needs. the first step in that direction would be to unfreeze afghanistan's assets that remain in the federal reserve. the biden administration announced yesterday it will not release those assets because the taliban was protecting also i hear you. but without that, the u.s. is harming afghanistan war. but it is not changing the taliban were changing -- they are not impacting elements course. that is important for the public to think about. it is holding these assets really making a difference to the taliban? if nothing else, is it increasing more suffering for t

while the u.s. and our ties -- and allies maintain sanctions on the group, it is an humanitarian and economic disaster. of the 25 million afghans are living in poverty. the united nations estimates up to 9000 jobs could be lost this year as the economy stalls. since taking over, the taliban has made several promises, such as offering amnesty to soldiers who are members of the security forces, working towards an inclusive government, engaging stakeholders in a castle, and allowing girls to attend school. the group has failed to uphold several of its commitments. for example, there's evidence of reprisal killings and the u.n. has documented 160 cases to date. according to the biden administration, the group has violated its commitment not to give shelter to al qaeda by allowing the group leader's who was recently killed to stay in a safe house. this was also one of the reasons the biden administration has decided not to release the roughly $7 billion in foreig this is one reason the biden administrati

china warned u.s.hat her visit is provocative and disable using -- destabilizing. -- armed vehicles are seen patrolling across the street before she arrived in taipei. beijing condemned her visit is a serious violation of the one china principle. and that it will have a severe impact on diplomatic relations. the relationship between china and taiwan is complex. over the centuries the island has been colonized by the netherlands and root -- ruled by china and japan. after world war ii china took control of it but taiwan known as the republic of china never argued -- argued that it was never part of the people of china. in 1971, the united nations said they will only recognize the prc as recognizing china and expelling taiwan. subsequently, many countries including the u.s. and japan -- which fair commitments from the r.o.c. to the -- taiwan's president and more countries cut ties with it. at risk we -- -- it mainly in the caribbean, central mayor cava, and the the holy see. the white house has distanced

what is the u.s.ping to get out of this trip, what further retaliation we may see from beijing? >> it is great to be here. it is the big question, what is the real purpose of this trip? it is a long history of delegations visiting taiwan, showing support for taiwan and the diplomacy that has flourished there. including a democracy protest in tiananmen square. it has been not supported by everyone in washington and now that it has actually happened, i think the speculation has been the most unhelpful part of this visit. heidi: when you talk about the endgame, beijing is not a preferred tactic. the psychological attrition warfare in a sense, isn't that what beijing is going for? do we get to a point where all of these provocative actions, we are running the risk of a miscalculation or a mistake? >> there is a risk, beijing is stepping up its efforts to intimidate taiwan. all of those arenas, we see a response right now to this pelosi visit. it does mean that tendons are running high and there is an risk

for the fed, i am less concerned about the u.s. in the sense that the u.s. is self-sufficient in food and energy. it is in a better position in terms of pandemic savings, very tight labor market. i think the fed is going to continue tightening in an aggressive fashion. i do not buy into market thinking that they are going to pivot in marchm, like next year. i think they will continue with their aggressive cycle. kailey: we have seen some pushback from the san francisco fed president and we have more fed speakers today. lale akoner, thank you so much for joining us. coming up, in addition to geopolitical risk and monetary policy, another theme we are watching in the markets is a heavy earnings season. another big week in the u.s.. marriott is among the names that reported results. we will talk with the company's ceo, next. this is bloomberg. ♪ kailey: the pent-up demand for vacations is good news for the travel industry, and marriott is benefiting from that. you are seeing action in the shares to go with that. marriott ceo tony capuano this joining us with mo

., the u.s. position, it does not support taiwan independence, amanda. >> and, natalie, what has been the u.s. response to rising rhetoric out of china about this trip? >> reporter: well, here on capitol hill there is bipartisan support from her colleagues, of course, to republican leadership who said that they support this visit and that. >>> not be up to china to particu dictate where high-ranking u.s. officials go or don't go. and the white house has also tried to emphasize in recent days that while it's been the first time in 25 years that a house speaker has made a visit to taiwan, this kind of a trip is not without precedent, does not break new ground, and again does not change u.s. policy. therefore, should not elicit any sort of escalation by china even though we have heard warnings and threats from china and the secretary of state even said if this trip does elicit some sort of escalation, that's on beijing. >> okay. i want to read this quote from a chinese spokeswoman before the speaker

how can the u.s. rehabilitate? what should the u.s. do to mitigate the effect of its failures on the afghan people? particularly women. if you could respond to that end with any time running down, any final thoughts you would like to leave the audience with. >> i think there was a great deal the united states could do to rehabilitate its megabit -- his reputation abroad. the only time nato had article five, i would call it one of nato's darkest hours. this evacuation at the airport. and then within six months of that, we see one of nato's brightest hours. that is the way that the alliance stands firm. afghanistan has a tendency to stovepipe afghanistan. it is a single country in a vacuum. we just tied a thread between afghanistan and ukraine and had nato not stood firm with ukraine, had ukraine not mounted a historic and heroic defense and had russia rolled through ukraine, we would probably be talking about what the future of taiwan was going to be because we would then be watching a rise in excess to authoritarian nations just sweepi

u.s.y out of the the continent of europe. we already were there and lost lives. think about it, nazis had moved through much of eastern europe, they were attacking england, we had many people who opposed us getting involved because they didn't think we were ready, they were tired of the endless wars in europe. sound familiar? what happened? well we were attacked. on december 7, 1941. the america first committee disbandedded a week lighter, and lindbergh who was an isolationist for various reasons, became a controversial figure he decided to join the war effort and spoke out against any further isolationism, he wanted too war the join effort, fdrsaid now, he joined anyway, i'm talking about this because you hear many of the same people who claim to be american firsters. who don't understand what that means, machine that -- someone that putting u.s. people in a position where they wind up in a world war in a poor strag strategic possession with a military not properly built up or trained up

u.s. futures muted in the early asian session after the s&p 500 jumped to a high in cooler inflation numbers. we have a risk on day. the s&p 500 surpassing the 4177 level, the peak between the may to june rebound that signaled a higher high. that could perhaps mean more gains to come. nasdaq indices gained more than 20% from the june trough. it is now in bull market territory. traders pair back as bets on more aggressive said tightening given cooler inflation numbers. two year yield seeking as much as 20 basis points at one point. around the 278 level. the dollar sinking. oil getting a little boost in the new york session. that's not sustained in the asian session. haidi: the question is really on the topic of being sustained. whether the rally can continue. we are seeing perhaps a lessening in volatility markets at least. dropping below the 20 level for the first time since april. you mentioned moves in the shorter end, the treasuries. we are seeing that reflected in the aussie three year

host: former u.s. and nato afghan commander david contrasts specifically talked about an article in the atlantic this month, what happened with afghanistan. i will redo the statement -- read you the statement that was in this month's "atlantic." our foundational mistake was there lack of commitment. we never adopted a sufficient, persistent, overarching approach that we stuck with from administration to administration, or even within individual administrations. once again, that is from the former u.s. and nato afghan commander. our question for you this morning is what is the legacy of the war in afghanistan? once again, we want to hear from republicans at (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. and we are opening up a special line for veterans of the war in afghanistan, (202) 748-8003. let's start with william who is calling from baltimore, maryland on the democrat line. william, good morning. caller: good morning, good to see you. no, to stay in afghanistan was defini
