Afghanistan Withdrawal and Political Turmoil: Ben Stein's Take
We created such a vacuum that not only did we abandon our own people and put them in harm's way, we put our allies people in harm's way as well.
Ever wondered why the Afghanistan withdrawal seemed so chaotic? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman don't hold back. They dive into the controversial topic of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, questioning whether it was a deliberate move to harm the country. They also call out Republican leaders, asking where the commissions are to investigate this issue. But that's not all.
The hosts tackle the media's influence on public opinion, discuss the need for a shadow government, and explore systemic issues in America. The conversation even touches on the Israel-Palestine conflict, with references to Ellis Ratner's quotes and Elie Wiesel's philosophy. To lighten things up, they end with a chat about Southern culture and play 'Dixie' for Ben's wife. If you're looking for a podcast that combines serious political analysis with lighter moments, this episode is a must-listen.
