The Didactic Mind podcast is back to something approaching a sort-of-regular schedule again, and this week’s episode is all about the sudden and quite dramatic collapse of America’s failed Syracuse Expedition in Afghanistan. I talk about the roots of its failure, the lessons to be learned (which of course the American military will utterly fail to heed), the folly and stupidity and arrogance of Wilsonian interventionism, and the likely consequences for the Pax Americana. This episode is a bit shorter than usual, due to time constraints on my part, but hopefully by next week we will be back up to a full-length episode.
