Nothing new in this day and age but you have to wonder what is causing these rifts.
Where is my nobel?
well a bit too late for that
but what you will see is russia pakistan and china carving up US's corpse.
Yes
America hasn't so much lost a war but failed to maintain a coherent political vision.
This has enormous world shaking geopolitical implications that will continue to create a disadvantage to US interests.
The current Taliban have a very good PR person, presenting themselves as moderate. Their actions since the February 2020 agreements have been seen, and opinions have been formed.
If I were a betting man I'd say that they would pay telecom censors top dollar to prevent a further ruffling of feathers of the US public.
To add to this administrative insult, US relationship with the collapsing Afghanistan government was ended in the most humiliating way. The collapse was not inevitable.
The US public should not stand for this.
The current mood of the US is that the public does not know what the current administration is doing domestically and abroad. Outside of a few identified 'throw money at a problem' bills the administration is not popular outside of 'at least it is not Trump'.
Vision is lacking and the US cannot legislate out of core structural problems and from this there was improper use of authority by multiple government branches. I do not think congress should have neutered presidential war authority. The US needs better stewardship by every branch and to go back to operating government like intended.
It is an active area of research and they started exploring 'metallic ammonia' last year. recent paper looking at metallic ammonia using synchrotron x-ray PES in a refrigerated liquid microjet setup: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6495/1086
They are currently known as 'metastable' nanostructures exhibiting plasmonic effects similar to noble nanoparticles.
I believe in Havana they told us that it was their own equipment as that would make the most sense.
But you're right there are a lot of unknowns and wild reporting on it.
