Michael Maloof and Matthew Hoh break down the recent Washington Post exposé “The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War,” outlining the myriad of diplomatic red flags and utter lack of foresight throughout the US push to invade Afghanistan following 9/11. Then, John Sitilides comes on to discuss the continued push for regime change in Iran. Also, North Korea has re-ignited rocket tests, with Kim Jong-un ominously alluding to a “Christmas gift” for the US. Plus, as the world watches ‘Phase One’ of a US-China trade deal finally being ironed out, China is making moves to poach US agriculture markets in retaliation for the deluge of tariffs over the past year.
