Al Kresta of Ave Maria Radio recently interviewed me on a variety of topics related to the Afghan debacle and return of the Taliban. The roughly 15-minute talk can be accessed by clicking here and fast forwarding to the 22:18 mark.

To add to Mr. Ibrahim’s explanation about the mess in Afghanistan, just today Amir Tsarfati from Behold Israel stated that Biden has announced that all financial support for Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ defence system will be cancelled. Israel has also reported that Bagram Airbase is occupied by a Chinese Reconnoissance Delegation.
The message about Iron Dome is incorrect. Biden did not make such an announcement. In fact, it was Biden who, after the last episode of fighting with Gaza, announced that his administration would pay to replenish Israel’s store of Iron Dome missiles. And he is still committed to it. The Democrats in the House wanted to add the payment to the package intended to raise the national debt limit in order to prevent a default. Four Democrat representatives then threatened to vote against the package as well as all Republicans. So the Democrats withdrew the addition, but will present it later as a separate measure that is expected to pass with massive support from both parties. And by the way, both China and the Taliban have denied the other report. Always check sensational reports with a Google search before believing them!
