The Fall of Kabul (Myth20c - Ep222)

As the US officially draws down its presence in Afghanistan, the Taliban has wasted no time in reclaiming territory, forcing the American military to send in 5,000 marines to defend its Kabul embassy from becoming overrun. Meanwhile, the domestic war on ‘vaccine hesitants’ has brought about even more draconian measures on travel and employment. Tonight the full crew comes together to discuss the ever present reminders that great power, corruption and incompetence are lethal combinations.
