Was Joe Biden wrong to pull out of Afghanistan?: <strong>In this episode, Jake and Ant look at the ethics of the Western abandonment of Afghanistan after decades of support.</strong><br><br><strong>We begin by chatting about some necessary context on the history of Afghanistan, both cold war era and post 9/11. Ultimately, we discuss the limits of one person's moral agency (can the president be personally blamed? Was there any winning decision to be made?), when it may be just to invade or 'nation-build' and the limits of respecting sovereignity and self-determination. Specifically, we also discuss the concept of a 'just war' and Mill's self help test in the context of war. Factcheck timeline here: </strong>https://www.factcheck.org/2021/08/timeline-of-u-s-withdrawal-from-afghanistan/<br><br><strong>What are your thoughts, should Biden have put his foot down and managed the pull out differently, or even cancelled it?
