Negotiator in peace talks with the taliban is to testify before Congress Amid questions over and Donald Trumps decision to shut down discussions with a terror group meanwhile the taliban has urged the president to return to the negotiating table in an exclusive interview with r. T. I dont know the reason behind it we. Were talking but if you are still committed to the negotiations we see the i want to start and were going to see from this that were going to run this one is the most efficient for one conflict except. Except peace on the table so we dont want to revitalize the. Dont. Come back to where we want to be with just the sort of the. After the fact if youre going to go there go. The taliban is frequently responsible for terrorist attacks across afghanistan and the latest incident at least 4 local troops were killed and 3 injured when a suicide car bomber targeted a military base in southern coble on thursday donald trump ended almost a year of negotiations with the taliban last sunday when they admitted killing a u. S. Servicemen to quote strengthen their bargaining position to have had the opportunity to speak to taliban officials and has been assessing how the talks fell apart. Just days ago they stood on the brink of a breakthrough the beginning of the end of the afghan war then it all collapsed and it was too good to be true the talks with the taliban are dead. And the taliban refused to attend talks with trump wanting a deal 1st trump killed off negotiations citing an american soldier killed by islamists in afghanistan and i put it to the taliban how do you expect trump to talk negotiate with you when you are killing his troops as you speak. The next day with mr tucker consider this a. Negotiation he mr barak his followers that he says he admitted that he. Doesnt other will so if big donors office we cannot kill one of the other so this is going to be have to defend our civic of different people to different groups of people of others. But what i really want. To different people the way the taliban see it theyre defending themselves in their country fighting against a Foreign Occupation and for every american soldier they kill tens of their fighters and civilians are killed in turn by the u. S. They said this isnt a war they want this isnt a war they can win by force but they wont and cant give up the what is it cause mass. American soldiers want to stop its not. Soldiers. There was one of those but still we. Propose. To be set up with some through the system but unfortunately i need to retrieve some sort of. It was considered by the americans. Last consideration which was which took. His arm over mr vance are all of this for the birds that are going to such a peace treaty and it turns into a bar obama started it were going to be stupid so be us rigid we want peace in afghanistan we wanted to give a serious message whether foreign troops is too good for the star so if the others are also who. Is this he wants he wants the city and the is the what is important to us we have a different course of the american side is not really needed was use of it and did not want peace on the day it will. Be compared to a different person it would never do this 500 years what hurt the most the taliban had negotiated told me is how close they were to a deal i seized the details had been worked out in the fine print sorted and approved only for everything to collapse were there was a discussion on the debate is over what do you think of the when the decider then listed. A cease fire between us and American Forces and you get to sit by sit up with your forces they would go out and run pretty desolate over the internet i only wish it would start with i find a good deal of it was years of that the ceasefire can spew cease fire and i could hear his excuse but and also other those that dont think issues can be discussed there as things stand talks for now over the war will go on the killing will go on but trump already boasting that hes hitting the taliban with his pavement dead in theory we have been serving as policemen in afghanistan and that was not meant to be the job of our great soldiers the finest on earth over the last 4 days we have been hitting our enemy harder than at any time in the last 10 years until that is called one sense prevails and the us go. Back to what everyone in washington knows is inevitable talks negotiations with the taliban. Us politicians have been arguing about the countrys role in afghanistan for years now and it was a key issue and thursday nights 3rd round democratic debates were doing right now in afghanistan is not helping the safety and security of the United States because the problems in afghanistan are not problems that can be solved by a military we have got to put an end to and less war one thing weve learned about afghanistan from afghanistan its the best way not to be caught up in endless wars to avoid starting one in the 1st when we came to you know offers to brock turn the president turn him into joe when they said we had a plan to get out he turned to the whole security joe will organize this get the troops home the big mistake that was made which we predicted was that you would not have a circumstance where the shia and the kurds would Work Together to keep isis from coming from moving in a huge mistake and one of the big differences between you and me i never believed what cheney and bush said about iraq you know what heres the war in iraq. And helped lead the opposition. And its been a kind of you know how the feeling that they would be massive destabilization in that area if we went into that war. The front runners clashed over several issues but recently theres been one topic they were mostly agreed on and thats opposition to fracking with some even calling for a complete ban the process involves drilling deep into the ground to recover oil and natural gas critics claim its dangerous and bad for the environment and top us democrats share those fears hilma and has a story. The usa is now the worlds top Oil Exporting Country check out these words from the International Energy agency booming shale production has allowed the u. S. To close in on and briefly overtake saudi arabia as the worlds top oil exporter President Trump says that this is a huge achievement hes ready to celebrate success becoming more and more energy dominant i dont want to leave you free we want to be an engine dominant in terms of the world but not everyone shares Donald TrumpsEnergy Market enthusiasm in fact most of the people who want to run against him in the 2020 alexion want to outlaw the practice of hydraulic fracking thats the reason the usa has so much oil and gas any proposal to avert the Climate Crisis must include a full fracking ban on public and private lands on my 1st day as president i will sign an executive order that puts a total maria tarm on own you fossil fuel leases for drilling off shore and on public lands and i will ban fracking everywhere its not just the left progressives youve got the centrist kemal the harris theres no question im in favor of banning fracking so at this point roughly 59 percent of americas oil is extracted from the shale so if you outlawed the practice of hydraulic fracking you would knock down the oil sector of the u. S. Economy pretty hard the same for natural gas now check out this headline. Kremlin kemal or harris and other democrats are embracing Vladimir Putins preferred u. S. Energy policy the new Conspiracy Theory even went viral on twitter many in fracking and use of natural gas would do more damage to america and make let him or putin happier than anything donald trump has ever said or done so good job democrats your being pro russia pro putin and program wind by wanting to ban natural gas of course the senator isnt the only 2020 democrat calling for this from russia with love ban on fracking the most reliable of k. G. B. Useful idiots Bernie Sanders is even clearer now this notion that opposition to hydraulic fracking is all a big plot from moscow is nothing new in fact weve even heard it from the halls of the u. S. Congress we have seen evidence of campaigns targeting culture and energy as to 2. Industries of interest to foreign powers on energy weve seen anti fracking narratives so it seems like nowadays the only way to really play it safe in american politics is to find out what the why were putting once and do the exact opposite so lets hope that the russian president doesnt talk about say fixing up americas crumbling roads and bridges or addressing the Opioid Epidemic table mop and r.

U.
