John Pilger on Afghanistan: US military is a "Killing Machine." How the Taliban went from ally to enemy
On this episode of Going Underground, legendary journalist and filmmaker John Pilger speaks on the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Pilger calls the US military a "killing machine" and discusses why the US War on Afghanistan must be viewed through the lens of Western imperialism, the scale of civilian casualties, and destruction of Afghanistan by NATO countries, how the US created today’s situation by supporting Afghan jihadist forces against the Soviet Union (USSR in Afghanistan) throughout the Cold War, the social progress and progressive reform lost to history with the fall of the Soviet-backed PDPA government in Afghanistan, and much more.
John Pilger also discusses the anniversary of the Pinochet coup in Chile and the trial of WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange. #Afghanistan #Taliban #News
