I’m going to take the next question from Jovana Vujanic, who is a graduate student at Lewis
University: How big of an—of an impact will the decision of the Saudi energy minister to cut oil
production have on the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia? It provided for
assistance to help rebuild Afghanistan’s infrastructure and institutions, support education, encourage
investment in Afghanistan’s natural resources, and to advocate for a long-term commitment to
Afghanistan by the international community. And so, again, just to sort of point out sort of where in
the world sort of are the top three oil producers: the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Green

moving closer to the capital and tightening its grip on the north. Now approximately 1.4 million
Palestinians are sheltering in Rafah because of the Israeli military’s wanton destruction of Gaza City,
Khan Younis, and other parts of the Strip. And then non-OPEC—the United States being a non-
OPEC country, but again, this sort of—this chart to the right shows, you know, again, the world is
consuming a little over 100 million barrels a day, expected to increase over 2023 and into 2024,
question marks as to when we may see peak oil demand. People—there’s still a lot of concern about
the safety of nuclear. They had already met on Friday, when the Ukrainian president signed separate
security agreements with the French and German governments. Nevertheless, Italy will be in
command of the new EU naval mission ASPIDES, to be deployed soon in the Red Sea. This,
however, is difficult to reconcile with the reports about the rushed Ukrainian retreat, with a
Ukrainian soldier explaining that “the road to Avdiivka is littered with our corpses.” Throughout his
speech, Zelensky repeatedly referred to the importance of defending what he called the “rules-based
world order” by defeating Russia. Of the 49 sitting GOP Senators, 30 were elected before Donald
Trump first became the party’s presidential candidate in 2016. Maxwell Rutherford Beggs was born
on June 20, 1946, in Ogdensburg, he was the son of the late George and Inez (Rutherford), Beggs.
And I think this is something that, you know, is being discussed across multilateral financial
institutions. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), Brigadier General Matthew Trollinger, Deputy
Director of the Joint Staff, acknowledged that Iran could step into the void. But as India supports an
Afghan-led administration and installations that are owned and controlled domestically, it is highly
unlikely that India will be keen to get boots on the ground. A G7 meeting of foreign ministers also
took place Saturday on the sidelines of the conference. Located along the Gaza-Egypt border is
Rafah, a 25 -square-mile city that until recently was home to 300,000 Palestinians. Alarming to
Egyptian officials were Netanyahu’s statements late last year about the Israeli military taking control
of the Philadelphi Corridor (a nine-mile-long demilitarized buffer zone between Gaza and Egypt
which was established in accordance with Egypt and Israel’s peace treaty) because such a move on
Israel’s part would be a breach of the Camp David Accords. More than 5,000 American soldiers and
contractors were killed. The United States and coalition partners’ support is critical at this time; even
as we bring troops home and war is fading out, there should be a financial commitment to the
Afghan forces. And other countries do not, so they need to import oil. Yet, the staffing and
deployment structures that were established under the advice of international advisors failed to
account for the needs and desires of Afghan women and better matched the environment and
conditions of women and policing from the donor states. We also see Japan. Japan, you know, the
Fukushima disaster really turned Japanese—the Japanese public off of nuclear. Canada as well, our,
you know, neighbor to the north. In the confusion of the times, one of those on the list, Habib
Rahman, an engineer, is still alive. US allies and their families faced significant danger in this new
political climate, leading to an exodus of refugees from Afghanistan to the US. Rather than solely
relying on brute force, which would require financial or covert military support from Pakistan,
instead the Taliban is by and large seizing territory swiftly and regularly via local political deals over
which Pakistan has no possible control. Now he’s the key conduit for growing ties between China
and the Taliban. Professor Barry Posen of MIT has suggested that a US departure from Afghanistan
would energise other countries in the region, like Pakistan, Iran, India and Russia, to exert themselves
to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a failed state.
We may very well reach a point where we see the 17-year American occupation as merely a futile,
bloody and costly interruption of the Afghan civil war. So, I think there’s a big question as to when
we see peak demand. We should not accept President Trump's absolute certainty that if we leave then
Afghanistan will become a terrorist haven. Again, these are—it’s moving a lot of the oil that is
consumed every day. Click here to learn more about our approach to artificial intelligence. Following
the Taliban takeover, tens of thousands of Afghans and foreign nationals raced to the airport in their
own effort to flee. But as far as consumption goes, we consume over 20 million barrels a day. The
Afghan elite has drawn America deeper into domestic politics, relying on foreign assistance and US
military support for their own survival. So, you know, Venezuela is one of these countries that’s not
producing as much as it could, right. Most of Badakhshan is now under Taliban control, but
according to some reports, Tajik, Uzbek, Uighur and Chechen fighters comprise the bulk of the local
Taliban rank and file, rather than Pashtun fighters. Q: So, how could Russia’s use of alternative
transportation methods, such as the East Siberian Pipeline to China, impact the U.S. energy markets,
I mean domestically, and the SPR, given potential insurance workarounds from Russia’s side such as
ensuring Russian tankers to the RDIF fund? And research by the Afghanistan Independent Human
Rights Commission showed that there is a widespread desire for reparations to be made for the past,
and for those responsible for killings to be brought to justice. It will be very difficult for them
to—(laughs)—move with the rest of the world in terms of electric vehicles, and so on. And also, just
a couple of sort of fun pieces on what we have seen, just this—you know, in the last week, of course,
some of this—you’ll be familiar with, those in the audience—but this decision on the part of OPEC
to reduce production by 1.2 million barrels a day—again, happening at a time, not when we have an
excess supply, but when we’re seeing a tight supply across the oil market. On the loss of Avdiivka,
Zelensky said that Ukraine had lost one soldier for every seven soldiers who have died on the
Russian side. Are Egyptian officials serious about possibly freezing the historic peace deal. His
brother Zamir said that he heard from two of Khwarja's cellmates that the young teacher was badly
beaten every day, to the point that he could hardly drink water when he was thrown back in the cell
in the evenings. But as India supports an Afghan-led administration and installations that are owned
and controlled domestically, it is highly unlikely that India will be keen to get boots on the ground.
On July 16, 1983, he married Elaine Coffey at the Stone Presbyterian Church, Elaine died

Chinese man was sentenced to 10 months in prison for ruining the marriage of a People’s Liberation

are in hiding and still desperately seeking refuge. We also see Japan. Japan, you know, the Fukushima
disaster really turned Japanese—the Japanese public off of nuclear. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
ultimately voted against the package. Any government decisions aren’t based on any reasoning; they
are simply “ dog acts ”. And I think we’ve seen sort of new markets—so, this kind of reshaping of
the energy map with oil, we see that as—kind of in technicolor, right, whereas, you know, a lot of
Russian oil would go west, is now going east, you know, China, India, being takers, and of course,
you know, other countries as well. Obama had come into the White House as a critic of the Iraq War,
and would advocate a “Don’t do stupid” stuff foreign policy. Men wept openly during speeches and
prayers, and photos of the dead were propped up on chairs in front of a stage. Located along the
Gaza-Egypt border is Rafah, a 25 -square-mile city that until recently was home to 300,000

According to a U.S. Department of Defense report, the Afghan government made big changes to the
ANDSF leadership “that are helping move the ANDSF towards becoming a more professional
force.” However, the Afghan forces will require more training and advice from the international
partners, and financial support, including reforms in its messy personnel and pay system, to
overcome shortfalls. As he puts it: “I will not send another generation of Americans to war in
Afghanistan with no reasonable expectation of achieving a different outcome.”. The cruelty of the
Taliban is well-known in the West, although the focus groups questioned for this research were more
concerned about the crimes of the communists and later the mujahideen, who fought among
themselves after the fall of the Soviet-backed government in Kabul in 1992. So, again, I think China
and India have, you know, have taken advantage. But if the Taliban rejects a troop extension and the
new U.S. peace plan fails to get traction, Washington should cut its losses, withdraw its remaining
forces, and use diplomacy and leverage to mitigate the risks associated with the least bad option.
Other allies agreed to follow by slimming down their own forces in the country. China is eyeing
copper and rare earth mineral resources, and is working to upgrade transport links through the
Wakhan Corridor. Even if not, it is highly likely that India will be playing a larger role in the
country’s internal security. You are also agreeing to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. But neither
the American public nor Congress nor President Trump himself will support any such effort. By Tara
Copp, AP In December, U.S. defense officials confirmed that the U.S. was considering withdrawing
as many as 7,000 of the approximately 14,000 U.S. forces deployed in Afghanistan. This point is
underscored by the fact that the Afghan government is not a party to the US-Taliban peace
agreement. I think—I think Europe is being cautious, and so they are not saying that they are going
to completely move away from gas, so as earlier questions, are they getting gas from Algeria, or are
they getting gas from Norway. Green on February 6, 2024 Blog post Disinformation Informed
Views in Gaza By Ambassador Mark A. And so what steps can be taken to foster nuclear energy? A
Taliban spokesman told news agencies this week that the U.S. had agreed to remove half of its
forces by May as part of this round of talks. The sustainability of such progress is now seriously in
doubt. Beijing has long cultivated ties with the Taliban, offering the armed group blandishments
including “sizeable investments in energy and infrastructure projects” in exchange for peace. There’s
a big question as to what—you know, what the next six months to a year will look like, with regards
to the reduction from OPEC, and if we were to see a deeper curtailment on Russian oil. Black
soldiers wrongly executed for 1917 riot get new headstones The men's convictions were set aside by
an Army review panel in November. Q: So, how could Russia’s use of alternative transportation
methods, such as the East Siberian Pipeline to China, impact the U.S. energy markets, I mean
domestically, and the SPR, given potential insurance workarounds from Russia’s side such as
ensuring Russian tankers to the RDIF fund? It’s fitting. Politically determined deadlines invested
with great importance by presidents have long been a staple of the war. It should prepare intelligence
assessments that ascertain if a full U.S. troop departure would indeed increase the risk of
international terrorism—and what factors would need to be in place to generate this heightened risk.
The Taliban’s assault on the provincial capital Qala-i-Naw of Badghis province and numerous
districts in Takhar and Badakhshan provinces demonstrate their aim to neuter any such resistance
from emerging in the north. Though the relationship is complex, the Afghan Taliban has long
provided sanctuary to the TTP, said to have even extended to joint operations. But Wali is likely to
seek assistance during expected talks with India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his
Indian army counterpart General MM Naravane. If there was one take-away that Zelensky wanted
impressed on this audience: “Please do not ask Ukraine when the war will end. Nor has the Taliban
honoured its promises to disavow al-Qaeda. Eventually, weighing the capabilities and critical back
up, the Afghan government wants to ensure that a gradual wrap up strategy is in place.
Hindustan Times - your fastest source for breaking news! Read now. Getting Kabul and the Taliban
to agree on these issues—and especially in so little time—is a very tall order. You also have the need
for investment of new infrastructure. I think one of the big challenges for China is that, of the—you
know, where the shale reserves are located, it’s not near water, lots of questions as to—and some of
it—basically, some of the tests have shown that it’s—it definitely is proving harder that, you know,
they cannot sort of model the same level of development that we have seen in the United States.
Yeah, that’s kind of why I emphasize that number, is because a lot of people sort of just aren’t aware
of how much oil we continue to consume, and again, what the demand expectations are moving
forward. And it would need a significant amount of reinvestment to get it up to a place that it could
sort of meet its potential. Their statement on women’s and minorities’ rights is opaque, and the
positions inside the Taliban vary greatly. If history is any indication, we can expect that entire
agencies and units will either fragment or collectively join any of several strongman-led ethnic
militias when the rewards of working for the regime stop outweighing the risks of facing the Taliban.
Or what’s the best scenario, in terms of reducing dependence on fossil fuels, considering the oil
market? All contents (c) 2024, Graham Digital Holding Company. You know, I think one of
the—again, one of the issues is whether or not—since, you know, what already is under
construction, I think you can, you know, with confidence, that one will be completed. So, I think
we’re seeing, not just through the Green Deal, but we’re also seeing through, sort of European green
industrial policy—so in some ways, akin to what, you know, we put into effect in—this past summer,
is the Inflation Reduction Act. The vote cannot only be explained by ideology, as some typically
hawkish allies of Trump, like Sen. And I think one of things that many people sort of are not
necessarily aware of or think about, is the amount of oil that gets produced every day. To advance the
goals of gender inclusion, the newly formed Afghanistan Mechanism for Inclusive Peace (AMIP), a
consortium of Afghan civil society representatives, has proposed creating a Specialised Gender

day later, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry denied such reports about his government’s
plans to freeze the peace treaty with Israel, yet he emphasized that Egypt’s continued adherence to
the 1979 deal would depend on Tel Aviv reciprocating. This question also got an upvote: How do
you foresee Venezuela’s role in the global oil market changing moving forward. There are parts of the
Afghan military that fought well and to the end. This is a curious assertion to make given that the
Pakistani military establishment runs the Taliban, its leadership is based in Pakistani cities, and are
under the tutelage of a foreign power that provides strategic ballast to the insurgents to kill their own
people. Amadine Hom, go to you first, and please accept the—unmute yourself. It’s a sign of a
deterioration in ties between the neighbours, and an indication that Pakistan might be agitating to
destabilise Afghanistan, in whatever way it can. So, I think we have to be very cautious moving
forward, that we don’t take more out of the system before we have adequately set up the system to
be resilient, and to be able to sort of meet the energy security demands that are not—are not—they’re
not decreasing. What was in the deal signed by Donald Trump and the Taliban. So, wow. There is so
much happening in this space, the geopolitics of oil. Even if the Taliban regained power, would they
embrace IS, al-Qaeda or other such entities. I think what’s really critical, when we’re looking at oil, is
oftentimes we think only about the transportation sector. Men wept openly during speeches and
prayers, and photos of the dead were propped up on chairs in front of a stage. Mattis and others

Russia fears that these elements might seek to infiltrate and foment unrest in neighbouring Central
Asian states, exploiting porous borders and close ethnic ties. The Houthis started their campaign
against ships in the Red Sea after the beginning of the war in Gaza, claiming they want to force an
end to the conflict. Now, you have new countries that are takers of Russian oil, and they’re buying it
at discounted prices. But again, I think the—you know, to understand that NOCs, as they’re referred
to, are very, very important for understanding their role in the larger context of the geopolitics of oil.
Had Biden declared America was staying, the Taliban would have redoubled efforts to target
coalition troops. I just want to make sure I have it—I’m clear on the question. I’m Irina Faskianos,
vice president of the National Program and Outreach here at CFR. We just have a really hard
time—(laughs)—building nuclear at cost, so it’s very expensive. As we need the Afghan forces to
fight this war, its air force still crawls largely due to the lack of necessary equipment, training for air
support, and, more importantly, medical evacuation. Nagging Constraints to Democratic Stability
and Economic Prosperity in Nigeria. Were Washington to renege on the deal, the cost in US lives
would start to increase again. We also see Japan. Japan, you know, the Fukushima disaster really
turned Japanese—the Japanese public off of nuclear. Without the approval and commitment of the
American people, we’re unlikely to have either a successful war, or a durable peace. One more year,
or five more years, of US military presence would not have made a difference if the Afghan military
cannot or will not hold its own country. Great question. So, all of the above—(laughs)—in some
ways, right. Fighting a war with a variety of terrorist groups is costly — the Afghan government is
still too far away from self-reliance and paying the forces from home revenue. Where is—what is the
status of those two pipelines. Accordingly, if Washington isn’t successful, it should plan for a
withdrawal as soon as is logistically possible. I’m really sorry that we could not get to them all.
Though the relationship is complex, the Afghan Taliban has long provided sanctuary to the TTP, said
to have even extended to joint operations. But it’s really important to sort of recognize the position
that state-owned companies have. China’s most pressing security threat in Afghanistan is regularly
said to be the independence-seeking militant Uighur East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM).
Again, we are not seeing—you know, and we haven’t seen a, you know, reduction in fossil energy
demand. Frankly, if Afghans could cease to fight among themselves and refuse to provide sanctuary
to terrorist organisations, that would more than satisfy US interests. I’ll take the next question from
Kyle Bales, who is a senior at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois: How is the war between
Russia and Ukraine having an effect on the progress of the European Green Deal. The United States
formally begins withdrawing its last troops from Afghanistan on Saturday, bringing its longest war
nearer to an end but also heralding an uncertain future for a country in the tightening grip of an
emboldened Taliban. Black smoke from an explosion is seen on the horizon. I’m going to take the
next question from Bhakti Mirchandani at Columbia University: What global trajectory do you see
for nuclear. But again, you know, there are a lot of pipelines, so twenty-three—two thousand, three
hundred, and eighty-one operational oil and gas pipelines. You know, I think one of the—again, one
of the issues is whether or not—since, you know, what already is under construction, I think you can,
you know, with confidence, that one will be completed.
Now he’s the key conduit for growing ties between China and the Taliban. Relying on the 2001
AUMF allowed Obama to bypass arguing for renewed war to Congress and to the American public,
and it gave Congress a pass on taking a tough vote (who wanted to be the next Hillary Clinton, on
the hook years later for a vote that was popular at the time). Even as Kabul has been taken over by
the Taliban, the case remains strong that after 20 years, the United States has fought its war in the
country. The government will be unable to say exactly why for privacy reasons, and advocates may
be unwilling to say why for fear of exposing claims to public scrutiny. So, I’m a little—so, the
question is about the East Siberian Pipeline. And more Chinese who have accumulated a lot of
savings, 2.1 trillion, how are they going to use that savings and whether or not, after three years of
being under lockdown restrictions, whether or not we’ll see impacts to demand. The wars were

and participation. And as we have grown, sort of, more—I wouldn’t say independent, but our—as
our own oil production has increased, especially through the shale revolution, our dependence on the
Middle East and Saudi Arabia, more specifically, has shifted. I think what’s really critical, when
we’re looking at oil, is oftentimes we think only about the transportation sector. This is expected
behavior in dangerous environments such as Afghanistan, where everyone is expected to have a
hedging strategy for survival. Before becoming president, he had on several occasions advocated the
withdrawal of US forces. Promising severe punishment - punitive air strikes, for example - in the
event of misconduct might also figure. And it’s—you know, it’s caused a kind of a reshaping, a kind
of a remapping of the—of oil geopolitics. Canada as well, our, you know, neighbor to the north. But
the hasty withdrawal of all foreign troops may also suggest a withering of international support for
the peace process and the stability of Afghanistan. So, one of the things that I really like to do when
I teach the geopolitics of oil is sort of show some visuals. And I think one of things that many people
sort of are not necessarily aware of or think about, is the amount of oil that gets produced every day.
However its claims to have taken more than 50 percent of Afghan territory ( in some cases up to 85
