With the United States withdrawing and cities falling to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Europe Center senior fellow Ben Judah interviewed Rory Stewart, former MP and Secretary of State for International Development, for his thoughts about the crisis on #BritainDebrief.

What does the Taliban takeover mean for Afghanistan? What does it mean for Britain and other NATO allies? And is the United States making a terrible mistake? Stewart, a former resident of Kabul where he pioneered the work of the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, who vocally opposed the Obama-era “surge” in Afghanistan, thinks yes.
