The Plywood Technocracy of Ashraf Ghani

Ashraf Ghani interview was mostly sleep-inducing, but I suppose it needed to be done. Thats about all there is. Good take by Fareed on Afghanistan war and the US tendency towards "Plywood Imperialism", as first noted by Afghan veteran and journalist Elliot Ackerman, who should have a book. His interview was brief. I skipped the Coppola interview.

Best source for global news analysis

Fareed has the knowledge and insight to see the big picture as well as the subtle changes that other news sources miss and he presents it in a respectful, thoughtful way.
