PART 1 | The Real Story - When U.S. empire waged war vs. Socialism in Afghanistan 1978-1990s
The United States has been intervening in Afghanistan since 1979. Trump and now Biden promise to end U.S. involvement in the Afghanistan war. But imperialist domination in the country continues. Brian is joined by Sohrob Aslamy, a doctoral student at Syracuse University in the Department of Geography and the Environment. Part 1 focuses on the history—the real reasons—behind U.S. intervention in Afghanistan, starting in the 1970s.

Part 2 | The Real Story - Is the U.S. actually leaving Afghanistan?
The Biden administration has announced that the United States will be withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan by September 11 of this year, and that this withdrawal will take place regardless of conditions on the battlefield. What's behind this move? Is the U.S. empire's longest war really coming to an end? Brian continues the discussion with Sohrob Aslamy.
