TOLOnews’ Shabeer Ahmadi interviews Barnett Rubin, a senior expert on Afghanistan and South Asia, about the intra-Afghan negotiations, U.S. policy on Afghanistan, and other current topics.

Executive VP at The Quincy Institute, Trita Parsi, breaks down the latest reports from the intelligence community concerning a potential attack on America orchestrated by Iran’s leadership. Some say these retaliation efforts are a direct result of the killing of terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani.

“The reaction that I saw from the blob was predictable,” said Parsi. Experts at many think-tanks prefer to see “the U.S. as some sort of a passive non-entity in these different conflicts, which at a minimum does not account for the negative consequences of our wars.”
