On Conflicts of Interest #26, Kyle and Will go over a recent report stating that the US military has flown airstrikes in support of the Taliban – its supposed mortal enemy in Afghanistan – on a limited basis at least since last year.

Libya's warring parties have signed a "permanent ceasefire" deal, potentially ending a nearly decade-long conflict sparked by President Barack Obama's push to overthrow Libyan strongman Muammar al-Gaddafi in 2011, which has had disastrous consequences for the entire country since.
