The military intervention of the USA and its allies ends after 20 years. Was it all for nothing? Should the USA have reacted differently at the time? A live discussion of the “Presse” and ÖAG with experts. In the live stream from 7 p.m.
“Die Presse” and the Austrian-American Society (ÖAG) invite you to a panel discussion today at 7 p.m.:
A cycle closes. 20 years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the US military intervention ends in a fiasco. In Kabul, the radical Islamist Taliban are back in power, having offered shelter to those behind the devastating terrorist attacks on America. Was it all for nothing? Should the USA have reacted differently at the time? Did the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq herald their decline as the leading world power? “Press” foreign policy discusses the geopolitical consequences of 9/11 with experts in the club room of the Austro-American Society.
