In this episode of the Stratfor Essential Geopolitics podcast from RANE, the conversation turns to Afghanistan. So much has happened in so little time. A Taliban takeover. A frenzied US withdrawal. A seemingly crushed opposition. The return of Al Qaeda. Emily Donahue speaks to Charles Thorson, Stratfor Global Security Analyst at RANE, about how jihadist groups reacted to the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan and near-term jihadist forecast.
