An Investigation Into the CIA-Run “Kill Or Capture” Zero Units the D.C. Shooter Worked With
We begin the Trump administration’s racist focus on the Afghan shooter of 2 National Guard soldiers in Washington D.C., one of whom has died, prompting Trump’s call to deport all immigrants from the third world. We investigate the CIA-run “kill or capture” Zero Units the shooter worked with in Afghanistan and speak with someone who has covered the U.S. war in Afghanistan from its outset after 9/11, Robert Young Pelton, an author, filmmaker, journalist, and explorer. He is the publisher of Dangerous magazine and has a first-hand perspective on the war on terror from direct contact with the world’s most infamous jihadi, rebel and insurgent groups. His books include: The World’s Most Dangerous Places, Come Back Alive, Three Worlds Gone Mad, Licensed to Kill: Hired Guns in the War on Terror and his autobiography, The Adventurist. He is working on a documentary about Jared Kushner’s secret deals ahead of the Abraham Accords which lined his pockets and has a podcast at YouTube: Come Back Alive.
As Trump Blames Biden, Who is Responsible For the Chaotic U.S. Withdrawal of 76,000 Afghans Including the Shooter?
Then, as Trump blames Biden for the tragic shooting in D.C. without taking any responsibility for sending troops there as a political stunt without any mission clarity or strategy short of inflaming a situation in the hope of a violent outcome, we look into who is responsible for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that brought the shooter and 76,000 Afghan refugees to the U.S. Joining us is Christine Fair who is a Professor in the Security Studies Program within Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. She previously served as a political officer with the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan in Kabul, and is the author of Fighting to the End: The Pakistan Army’s Way of War and In Their Own Words: Understanding Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and she speaks and reads Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi.
With Many Trump Teams Negotiating While Putin Has No Interest in Peace, What Impact Will the Resignation of Ukraine’s Negotiator Yermak Have?
Then finally we assess the multiple and confusing Trump teams of negotiators trying to make a deal Putin clearly has no interest in peace with Ukraine unless he gets all of his maximalist demands. We also examine the impact of Zelensky’s right hand man Yermak’s resignation under a cloud of corruption accusations. Joining us for Kyiv is Tamar Jacoby, the Kyiv-based director of the Progressive Policy Institute’s New Ukraine Project. She was a senior writer and justice editor at Newsweek and, before that, the deputy editor of the New York Times op-ed page. Now a regular contributor to Forbes.com, she is the author of Displaced: The Ukrainian Refugee Experience and has an article at The Washington Monthly, “Three Lessons From Trump’s Latest Plan for Ukraine: Whatever emerges from U.S.-Ukrainian talks in Geneva, nothing good is likely to come from this recipe for appeasing Moscow.”
