The Nation‘s Katrina vanden Heuvel details the similarities
between the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam in a debate with Lawrence
Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. She
argues that, like in Vietnam, American forces fuel anti-Americanism,
could win every battle yet lose the war and the cost of waging war could
drain resources needed to rebuild our country.

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
