S7 Ep10: Biden and the Afghan evacuation one year on with Frank Snepp

On today's podcast, we are joined by former CIA officer and investigative journalist Frank Snepp. Frank recently published an article titled "Stop Kvetching About Biden’s Afghan “Screw-Ups” – Kudos Are Owed”. You can read it here: https://franksneppexclusives.com/?p=519This is a detailed episode where I take a back seat and let Frank explain what he found. In the last section of the podcast, we discuss the broader context of the evacuation and what it is like to play god in an evacuation, having to decide who can leave and who has to stay.It’s a deep episode, so pour yourself your favourite drink, sit back, and I hope you find it informative. Music on this podcast is provided by Andrew R.
