UK's Prince Andrew being sued for having sex w/ underage Woman, Legal Status of US Virgin Islands: Why didn't the US DOJ raid Epstein's island earlier than 2019?, Is Targeted Assassination by a State Leader an Act of Terrorism?, Afghanistan is being overrun by the Taliban
==============================
Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.
Today's Agenda:
1) UK's Prince Andrew being sued for having sex w/ underage Woman: this week Ms. Virginia Roberts Guiffre of West Palm Beach Fl and Australia filed a lawsuit against one of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. The civil suit claims that when Ms. Roberts/Guiffre was just 17, she was 'offered' for sex to the Prince by Jeffery Epstein and his associate Ghislaine (Giselle) Maxwell. What is this all about?
2) Legal Status of US Virgin Islands: Why didn't the US DOJ raid Epstein's island earlier than 2019? He was bringing underage girls to his private island often on a plane named Lolita Express. He had been arrested and convicted in 2008 in FL for engaging in sex w/ underage women. Why was he able to fly in and out of US controlled airspace w/ these young girls?
3) Is Targeted Assassination by a State Leader an Act of Terrorism?: We discussed last week the likely killing by Belarus Pres. Lukashenko of his political opponents. And President Putin of Russia has been well known to kill his critics too, both inside Russia and abroad. Is such behavior allowed under international law ? What should be our diplomatic response?
4) Afghanistan is being overrun by the Taliban: Why is a 300,000 strong US trained Afghan army being so easily defeated by a rag tag group of some 50,000 Taliban fighters? Is it a lack of leadership? Are Pakistan and China helping the Taliban in this attack?
