  • After ending its military presence in Afghanistan, America wants to put that nation out of mind. But a strengthened Taliban has many weapons to continue to weaken America, including extracting ransom money from the U.S. to fund more terrorist activity.

  • Europe considers America’s retreat as firm evidence of the need to increase its military capability and cooperation, and it is taking active steps to strengthen its collective defense.

  • America’s military and civilian leaders are taking extreme measures to purge “extremism” from the armed forces—defined as Trump supporters, anti-vaxxers and others who disagree with the radical left.

  • We also talk about Iraqi fears that America will flee from their country, the quiet military advances Japan made in the Afghan withdrawal, wild political developments as Germany prepares for elections in a few weeks, more Chinese belligerence in the South China Sea, and the devastation of Hurricane Ida.
