ZBT: President Biden's Biggest Failure Is Reaping Anger And Devastation

Episode Description

In this episode, we dive deep into two significant yet vastly different events that have shaped recent history. First, we explore the U.S.-Taliban Agreement of February 2020, which was intended to end America's longest war. We dissect the key provisions of the agreement, including the controversial prisoner release, the rapid collapse of the Afghan government, and the Taliban's return to power. We also examine the tragic events of August 26, 2021, at Kabul’s Abby Gate, where a devastating suicide bombing highlighted the perils of the U.S. withdrawal. Next, we shift gears to discuss the arrest of Marine Corps veteran Nathan Thornsberry, who has been charged in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot. Thornsberry’s self-published book attempts to justify the violent events of that day but now serves as crucial evidence in his prosecution. We analyze the broader implications of the involvement of U.S. military veterans in domestic unrest and the ongoing investigations into the Capitol breach. Join us as we connect these two narratives, exploring themes of war, peace, domestic extremism, and the consequences of political decisions. #Afghanistan #USWithdrawal #Taliban #January6th #CapitolRiot #Veterans #USPolitics #ForeignPolicy #DomesticExtremism #PeaceTalks #NationalSecurity U.S.-Taliban Agreement 2020 Kabul Airport bombing August 2021 Afghanistan government collapse Marine Corps veteran Nathan Thornsberry January 6th Capitol riot charges Domestic extremism in the U.S. U.S. military involvement in domestic unrest Long-term consequences of U.S. foreign policy @WarOnTheRocks @ForeignAffairs @VetsForPeace @ICRC @DeptofDefense @NatSecAction @TheJusticeDept @ACLU @AfghanJournalist @MiddleEastInst
