America’s engagement is yet another chapter in Afghanistan’s long history.
Welcome back to SNAFUBAR. For today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our three part series on Afghanistan and the United States’ involvement and relationship with the country. We’ll be discussing some of the history from the post Cold War era to today, including U.S. military involvement and the subsequent War on Terror. We’ll also discuss the continuing dynamics between the two countries, and the most recent withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2021.
SNAFUBAR is hosted by Sara Hart, who teaches Religious Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt, and Jeff Crane who is an Environmental Historian and Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Cal Poly Humboldt.
Research and writing for the show is done by Liam Salcuni and Roman Sotomayor
