Ms. Wheeler is spot on here -- as ever.
Updated, by EW as of 08.17.2021: ". . .[T]he Taliban’s quick success has to do with “surrenders” that became the only viable option for Afghan soldiers after Trump’s deal with the Taliban last year. . . ."
So true. The Taliban was until very recently paying cash to government troops to surrender, as Trump had promised the same cash. . . would flow to them, for his "peace deal". End, updated portion.
Out, looking forward with a smile to new, and better, days -- and holding on to a good thought, for the poor people of Haiti. . . .
