I forgot to post this, but here’s video of my Skype interview with Alyona Minkovsky the other day. We talk about civilian displacement in Marjeh, embedded reporting, and other things.

I was wrong about one point, however: Angela Merkel withstood her reelection campaign before the tanker bombings, which were near Kunduz not Mazar-i Sharif. Her government, however, is still in no real danger of collapse over the incident and Germany recently increased its troop commitment.
