Warning from the recent past: Don't make Ukraine another Afghanistan, w/ Matthew Hoh

Soldier, whistleblower, veteran, and peace advocate Matthew Hoh tells us what it was like to realize that the Afghanistan mission was a failure and that everyone around him knew it — but kept it going for 20 years anyway. Hoh resigned his post as a State Department official in 2009 making space for other dissenters inside the government to criticize the war policy, though the U.S. role in that war would go on for more than a decade longer. Matt talks to us about that, and how he fears the same forces for regime change and military aggression are present in today's crisis in Ukraine. In the first segment, Dan and Kelley talk about how our "friends" in the Middle East are hedging their bets with Russia and making us beg for oil.
