The bloodshed is not likely to end anytime soon. Intra-Afghan talks are faltering, and the Taliban are gaining on the battlefield. Some Afghans cling to the hope that the Biden administration will follow a more conditions-based approach to U.S. withdrawal. Biden has promised to end America’s “forever wars” and was against Obama’s surge, but U.N. and Afghan officials say the Taliban actively maintain their alliance with Al Qaeda, in violation of the peace deal. Without an enduring U.S. presence, many predict that talks will collapse and that the country could once again plunge into chaos, as it did when the Soviet army departed. “If we see a total disengagement of the international community, the naturally ensuing result will be a state of civil war,” says Davood Moradian, the director of the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies. The Taliban, he says, would be just one of many warring factions. “We have already seen this reality in Libya, … [Read more...] about Highway to Hell: A Trip Down Afghanistan’s Deadliest Road

On a brisk morning, we drive through Kunduz City, a northern provincial capital of more than 300,000 people. In the absence of U.S. and NATO ground forces, Kunduz has degenerated under the heel of corrupt, abusive local militias and ethnic rivalries. In 2015, the Taliban seized the city for 15 days, the first takeover of any Afghan city since the U.S. invasion, and a shocking indictment of the Afghan army’s capacity to defend vital urban centers. Though the government generally has more support in cities, Kunduz remains one of the most contested. A bomb detonates overnight during our stay, said to be part of a militant attack that never materializes. Afghan army convoys of pickups and armored Humvees topped with masked gunners swiveling .50-caliber machine guns patrol the streets. We pass the derelict Doctors Without Borders trauma hospital, where at least 42 people were killed in an October 2015 errant airstrike by the U.S. … [Read more...] about America’s Longest War Takes a Deadly New Turn

As Geraldine comes flying out of a portal in the sky, we hear “Daydream Believer” by The Monkees — a band that was created entirely for the purposes of a Sixties sitcom. The Monkees wound up having artistic life outside of their NBC show, becoming a real band that fought to take control over their music in a way no one expected when Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork were assembled as a pre-fab foursome. That sequence easily could have been accompanied by one of the songs the Brady kids performed in their show’s later seasons, or perhaps something from its early Seventies peer The Partridge Family. Going with The Monkees instead implies that Wanda may soon be seizing control over whatever is happening — or that what we’re seeing is the result of her already doing exactly that. Either way, it’s good to have the story finally moving, and to see the series step confidently into a different era of television. … [Read more...] about ‘WandaVision’ Recap: Sibling Revelry
