“After listening to each podcast I get depressed.
The US & Allies were not honest with Afghans. They followed suit pakistan in playing double games with terrorists and the citizens of Afghanistan.”

“Madame Doucet fait un travail excellent pour expliquer la situation actuelle et expliquer les causes/conséquences de celles-ci. Ce n’est pas facile à écouter, mais très important afin de mieux comprendre. Un podcast essentiel, tout comme celui de Michèle Ouimet sur les interprètes afghans. Bravo!”
