Afghanistan...a different view

That link should work.

We see too much from one side of many things.


We tend to take in what we are given with little question.

A fascinating read. Biden really blew it.

He did Molly..but don't forget every president has to deal with what the previous one said and did...

Tom Stephenson said...

I hear today that Biden has imposed more sanctions on Cuba.

Interesting -- a good "big picture" assessment of things there. I would disagree that the American defeat is a "turning point in world history," though. It's not like it hasn't happened before. We were defeated in Vietnam too.

Going to recommend Stonekettle Station as another view on it.

Tom...sanctions on a poor country with problems..there are times when Politics stink.
And that it quite often theses day I surmise.

Zhoen I will have a look.
The problem everywhere is that we are fed one sided publicity/propaganda/information.
When people make up their own minds it is no longer popular with politicians?

Very interesting reading again Zhoen.
One despairs sometimes.
