Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

Today's Agenda:

1)  Is Afghanistan  being Overrun by Taliban?:  Reports from Aug 1, 2021 say that Khandahar---Afghanistan's 2nd largest city,--- in Kandahar Province ,  Herat the  3ed largest city in Afghanistan,  and  the southern city of Lashkargah, capitol of Helmand Province, are all  being attacked by Taliban fighters. And Afghans are fleeing into these Provincial Capital cities to escape being killed.  Is the Biden Administration responsible for this mess? 

2) Is Pres. Xi Planning to Turn Afghanistan and Pakistan into Chinese Puppet States?:   China's foreign Minister Wang met July 28th w/ Mullah Baradar, who was the Taliban chief of the Doha Peace Talks  w/ the Afghan Gov.  Those talks have collapsed, as Taliban gains control, thanks to its 'Godfather' Pakistan offering safe haven for Taliban this past 20 yr.  But Pakistan is now heavily indebted to China w/ it's Belt and Road projects.  Is Afghanistan the next target of Pres. Xi's generosity? 

3)  Belarussian Opposition leader in Ukraine found Hanged in Kiev Park :   On Tuesday, Aug 8, 2021 In Kiev, Ukraine, Belarusian activist Vitaly Shishov, who led a Kyiv-based organization that helps Belarusians fleeing persecution,  was found hanged in a park near his home in Kyiv.
