Welcome to a new series of The Meridian Podcast!

In this episode, Ollie and Eve host an in-depth discussion about the recent fall of Afghanistan back into the hands of the Taliban. The panel discusses whether President Trump or Biden is more to blame for recent strategic errors; whether western powers have a moral duty to 'liberate' Afghan women from oppression in the country; what this all means for the future of intervention by the US and UK; and the potential implications of this withdrawal for terrorism in the UK.

On the panel:

Prof. Anthony Glees (@AnthonyGlees), a professor specialising in politics, security and defence at the University of Buckingham
Maheen Behrana (@BehranaMaheen), Editor-in-Chief of Backbench magazine, a non-partisan political publication 
Mike Gaughan (@MikeGaughan6), North America Editor for The Meridian Magazine
