Paul Krugman exposes a troubling reality: Drastic budget cuts to NOAA and scientific research aren’t just fiscal moves; they undermine vital public services in weather forecasting. A staggering 40% reduction reflects a dangerous agenda to diminish climate change evidence. This trend threatens long-term economic stability as ignorance is prioritized over science.

Hudson Institute's focus on Afghanistan's National Resistance Front signals a potential shift in US policy thinking. Support needs regional alignment & a legitimate, inclusive political vision from the NRF to translate into meaningful change. #Afghanistan #PolicyAnalysis
