Ep 197EXTRA Why Can’t We Leave Afghanistan? feat Gunar Olsen

Guest: Gunar Olsen. Gunar recently published a response to an historian’s analysis of the Soviet Afghan invasion and the question of whether or not Zbigniew Brzezinski’s goal (under the Carter administration) in assisting the mujahedin was really about provoking the Soviet military intervention. This is a bonus question on why there was so much push back and resistance to Trump’s last ditch effort to leave Afghanistan and the real reasons behind it.
