The pakistani military. number three, we desperately need a new strategy. i believe ambassador, the point man across multiple administrations who has told them the taliban have changed and interesting the peace i believe he should resign or be fired. and only once we have reestablished strength and stopped their momentum can we seriously talk about negotiations. otherwise the taliban are actually using that to bolster their own legitimacy. the worldds greatest super power begging them to not hit...

And the un is urging afghanistans neighbours to keep their borders open, so tens of thousands of people fleeing the violence can escape to safety. the taliban now control 17 provincial capitals across afghanistan, including pul—e—alam, just 45 miles south of kabul as the militants continue their march towards the capital. here, borisjohnson has said theres no military solution to the crisis, insisting that the uk will instead use diplomatic leverage and foreign aid spending to "exert what pr...

And the moderates in the house woke up over the last couple days and realized we have as much political leverage as progressives do. theyve said all along if we dont get the larger reconciliation bill passed on the senate side were not going to vote on this bipartisan infrastructure bill that threat has been out there for months. now moderates are making the same threat, no, wait, were going to pull our votes out of the reconciliation thing if you dont pass the infrastructure bill first. i think...

Months, and do you have any reason to hope these women may find a way? >> theres always hope. i think to your point this is the united states and we have diplomatic muscle and leverage. we actually can exercise. its not the same as it was six months, 12 months or 18 months ago. and i think those of us who have been watching and living afghanistan since 2001, 2003, 2005, can in some way judge our age by the number of afghanistan policy reviews we have been part of or adjacent to. my first book i ...

Kabul. what leverage does the u.s. really have to get them to agree to that and would any kind of agreement really hold up? >> so the main leverage that the u.s. has right now at the negotiating table with you know, the taliban in doha is air strikes. well, weve seen thats got limited impact, ultimately. but they also have the leverage of becoming an international pariah. you want the international community to accept you with all the funding that that could possibly entail. and i do think that ...

Withdrawn. >> the way to think about this, joe, is leverage. in other words what can you gain with relatively small footprint, relatively low cost in a very strategic place. look at a map. afghanistan is parked in the middle of the russia, china, pakistan, india. its sitting on top of a trillion dollars in rare earths and lithium which goes in every car battery ever made. theres a lot of reason to want to keep stability in afghanistan, by the way, starting with the fact that when its uncovered i...

Administration would think thats an option. the taliban have all of the leverage. everywhere they confronted their enemy, the afghan forces, they have won. they are -- the way that quote sounded to me. it reminded me of a young boy i saw when i first got into afghanistan. his right arm was blown off by a mine. just the impact of generations after generation of people in afghanistan having to put up with this. its heart breaking. >> trace: there was a great comment of back and forth with bret bai...
