Trump vs. Harris: The Truth Behind the Taliban Negotiations

Former President Trump has been criticized for inviting the Taliban to the negotiating table as he planned the withdrawal from Afghanistan. The rationale against this move was that it gave legitimacy to their organization. Similarly, President Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and met with the same rebuke from corporate media. The counterpoint to this perspective is that there is a value in engaging with opposition in that you can potentially save lives and end conflicts in a way that ignoring or marginalized their leadership cannot accomplish.

In this video you will see the critique as it came up in the Trump/Harris debate and then the story of what actually happened during this negotiation, so you can make your own judgement on the underlying wisdom.
