0:00.0	My guest today is Aditya Raj Kohl, who is a journalist specializing in conflicts having to do with
0:08.0	Kashmir, Afghanistan and Pakistan. He's been reporting a lot on what's been going on in Pakistan.
0:12.1	So with that being said, Aditya, thank you so much for being a guest on Baye Tayman.
0:30.1	So I have a question for you to get more for your perspective is I think almost everybody in
0:45.4	America agreed on the idea of eventually leaving Afghanistan. Left, right middle was a very small

1:48.8	Afghanistan's neighborhood in Pakistan. So that's where the United States has collapsed.

2:06.9	is perhaps intra, you know, United States collapse of policy on Afghanistan, on Pakistan and this
2:13.9	entire region. I say this because military on one hand is doing something else. The diplomats
