Ep. 5485 – Matthew Hoh on Biden’s Afghanistan Equivocations – 3/26/2021
Matthew Hoh comes back on the show to talk about Afghanistan. President Biden said in a recent press conference that due to logistical difficulties, America is unlikely to meet the May 1 withdrawal deadline laid out in the Doha agreement signed under President Trump. Hoh points out that there shouldn’t really be logistical difficulties in getting about 3,000 American troops out of Afghanistan in a month (not to mention the many months both presidents have had already)—really, this is political cover to avoid pulling America out once and for all. No president has been willing to do so so far, largely because of the fear of what will happen in Afghanistan when we leave. The power vacuum created by America’s absence will lead to some chaos, to be sure, but Hoh says there’s simply no way around that fact. The only question now is when America will leave, not if. Staying any longer only continues to put American lives at risk.
