Want to know more about why the news matters? Want to know more about the headlines spread across your newsfeed? On his show, Michael Popa II explores current events and hot topics from a historical perspective to better understand the current affairs of our community, country, and world. For centuries, foreign policy has been the cornerstone to America’s prominence on the world stage. What once was a predominantly isolationist precedent has now transformed into an overly hawkish tendency. Whether it be through direct involvement with the enemy or power contests conducted through proxy states, the U.S. has made itself both friend and foe to the nations of the world. While just a minute part of its history, one particular nation has tugged at not only the U.S.’ coffers, but also its news channels’ chyrons and citizens’ attention.
On this episode, Michael looks at the evolution of Afghanistan throughout the 20th Century, particularly focusing on the country’s involvement with Soviet Russia. Featured on this episode is Dr. Austin Knuppe of the Utah State University Political Science Department.
