Tariq Ali: Afghanistan War Was For Money Laundering & Drug Trafficking, NOT Freedom & Women’s Rights

• Going Underground on RT
  On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Tariq Ali, author of ‘The Forty-Year War in Afghanistan: A Chronicle Foretold’. He discusses the persecution of Julian Assange and the significance of the Afghan war logs released by Wikileaks, the real motives for the US-led NATO war and occupation of Afghanistan being money laundering, military-industrial complex profiteering and drug trafficking, rather than women’s rights and democracy, the US de-facto opposing women’s rights and civil rights while fighting the proxy war against the Soviet Union, how the global economic system caused the rise of the Taliban & other jihadists and much more.
