Investigative journalist Lara Logan, host of "No Agenda" on Fox Nation, said Wednesday it is clear the United States government prefers the chaotic outcome in Afghanistan as well as the criminal and humanitarian crises at the U.S. southern border.
Logan told Fox Nation's "Tucker Carlson Today" that whoever in Washington is truly "pulling the strings" of the government intends for these crises to intensify, given their oft-unstated ability to stop them from worsening.
"What they want you to believe is that Afghanistan is complicated. Because if you complicate it, it's a tactic in information warfare called 'ambiguity increasing,'" Logan said.
"So now we're all talking about the corruption and the ‘this' and the 'that’ and that there's all these complex parts — but at its heart, every single thing in the world, in your personal life, professionally, on the global stage, at its heart, it's very simple. It always comes down to one thing, one or two things. And in this case, in Afghanistan, this comes down to the fact that the United States wants this outcome," she continued.
"Whoever is in power right now, whoever is really pulling the strings – and I don't know that – they could do anything they want to change this. And they're not."
Logan explained that the Taliban's main base is not Afghanistan but Pakistan, and that Islamabad is the only regional government with nuclear capabilities. Combining those factors helps explain why there's no urgency to course-correct in Afghanistan.
She said the U.S. helps fund a good portion if not all of the Pakistani defense budget in terms of military and intelligence services, like the ISI.

Wasn’t she the one that got raped reporting in Egypt?
I fear for Clarissa Ward, she is walking right through the checkpoints of the Taliban in Kabul, great reporting.
China and Russia (or a reconstituted Soviet Union, same difference).
Whoever is pulling the strings....
Blofeld didn’t die. He got advanced anti-aging treatments in Switzerland and is still pulling the strings. We have no really good Bond like secret agents now but a top journalist like Jake Tapper or Don Lemon should be able to crack the case.
If there are several thousand Americans left in Kabul…the only road out of town leads to Beijing. And Xi would love to have Biden come get them. In person.
Never forget…10% for the big guy.
She gets it in a naive principle sort of way.
My sense is that even if there was an entity who wanted to bring order to his, that would fail because the system defies being put in good order.
Trump failed to take out the trash, because 80% of the US government is trash. No way it is going to dispose of itself.
Not to say she isn’t right - this is exactly the desired outcome. Chaos, waste and loss. The US has to takes its place as an equal among mediocre and corrupt states.
I wonder how many people know who is really in charge.
We all have suspicions, but some people know.
Yes, exactly. I have been saying the same thing, publicly, for a while.
These outcomes are desired, explicitly because they weaken the United States.
The United States was becoming Great Again, under President Trump.
A great many power players, from the Chinese Communist Party, to the EU, to the Democrats, the Globalists, and the One World Government types, all wanted exactly the opposite.
This sort of chaos is what happens when nobody is control.
“Let the system take care of it.” “The interagency has this” “The military can ...”
Nobody is in charge. The people in power are maneuvering to avoid accountability and to gain personal profit. That is the driver on the western civ side of things.
But you are right too, the non-national globalists see things personally too, and care not about the fate of any nation or any person. They don’t need to pull any strings to create chaos. Chaos is the natural order of things.
What if they try to oust Joe using the 25th and he refuses to leave,what happens then? Anybody opinion?
Cancelling President Trump's policies on the border, which were working very well.
Cancelling work on the wall.
Changing the plan to evacuate Afghanistan.
Cancelling the State Department agency to act quickly during a crises.
Blocking any widespread use of valid treatments, before hospitalization, for COVID19.
Spending enormous amounts of money without any way to pay for it.
Blocking conservative voices by the tech oligarchs.
All of these are strings being pulled, conscious decisions being made. Actions taken.
There will be Chinese troops on our soul protecting the democrats within our lifetimes.
Yes, Lara was gang raped, beaten and almost died. She’s an amazing woman and clear intellect.
*** Wasn’t she the one that got raped reporting in Egypt? ***
Yes, Lara was the one who underwent numerous surgeries following her being raped and sodomized.
*** I fear for Clarissa Ward, she is walking right through the checkpoints of the Taliban in Kabul, great reporting. ***
Fear not, Clarissa is on their side. Notice she is wearing her black burqa she saved from her stint in Idlib, Syria, (the terrorist hq city). Women in Afghanistan don’t wear the kind Clarissa is wearing.
President 10%.
Most EU people, want to see the US diminished.
Before Info Tech, it was the tactic of "If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em.
