Jim Dubik, Liutenant General (R) U.S. Army with over 37 years of active service, in this interview he has shown his opinion on the international policy of the United States in the Middle East. He recognizes that his country wanted to create a democratic government in Afghanistan and wonders: Are we withdrawing troops because we have fulfilled our mission? His answer is forceful: no, “we are taking them out because we are tired of this impossibility. The war has not ended and it will not end because we withdraw troops ”.

Jim also gives us his point of view on the great division that is being created in the United States, “The tight vote gap between Biden and Trump shows the great division that the United States is suffering, you have the extreme right that Trump created, which represents the nationalism and white nationalism, populism, which are vile aspects of the extreme right. And then there is the extreme socialist left, who from a rational point of view are just as vile; then in the middle are the people who do not know which way to choose »
