they continue to push ahead. i think there s a sense that this was coming, it was visible, it should have been taken into account. i take another example here. if sources in pakistan are telling me less than a month before the taliban get and take kabul that the taliban will take kabul within a month, it seems to me incongruous that that information could not have been available to agencies, intelligence agencies in the united states, so i think allies are going to want it doesn t sound like they re going to get, but they would want that level of candid answering which fundamentally comes down to the position, knowing what the taliban were doing, which was being essentially due pplicitoun their talks, why continue on that track and create this chaotic end game scenario. again, we are waiting for the secretary of state, tony blinken, to testify before the house foreign affairs committee
interventionist way. so we re going to lob tomahawk missiles while we re talking with the chinese president in mar-a-lago. we re going to use weapons that we haven t used in afghanistan. there s actually talk with a renewed surge in afghanistan. my, god, how many surges will that one country get? and we ve seen increased activity in yemen and elsewhere. all of these things are happening and the trump administration clearly thinks this is going to help. they are wrong footing vladimir putin right now. russia doesn t know what to think. the question is how much of a rational actor is our friends in our pyongyang. i think you have to think about it like this. they have been preparing for this moment propaganda wise and militarily for the last 60 years. they have been preparing for the u.s. to come there, and they have 15, 20, 25 nuclear weapons, and they want to, in an end game scenario and there s a reason why kim jong-un is the supreme commander there now as opposed to some of his bro
