Afghanistan papers important as WikiLeaks – Chris Hedges

The Trump administration is expected to announce the withdrawal of around 4,000 troops from Afghanistan amid reports that the US is set to resume peace talks with the Taliban. But will Washington stick to this plan? RT America’s Rachel Blevins gives us the latest. Then former NYT Middle East bureau chief and host of “On Contact” Chris Hedges weighs in on how the mainstream media seems to be ignoring the recently leaked Afghanistan Papers. Just last week, Turkey, Syria, Iran, North Korea and Russia were added to the sanctions list as part of the 2020 military budget that has already passed the US House of Representatives. Co-director of the International Action Center Sara Flounders joins In Question to discuss.
