Sinopsis

It seems the Taliban holds the cards, in terms of the security situation and the military balance in Afghanistan. G7 leaders have met virtually overnight, as the Islamist militant group warns the US to leave by next Tuesday. It's understood European leaders urged US President Joe Biden to push for an extension. Rand Corporation political scientist Andrew Radin told Kate Hawkesby the Taliban is more willing to accept risks, in terms of what it gets from the international community. "They've lived in harsh conditions before, they have priorities. The first of which is getting US and foreign troops out of Afghanistan." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
