“The largest block of House Republicans will try to use the annual markup of the federal defense spending bill starting Wednesday to message against any recognition of the Taliban’s legitimacy,” Axios reports.

“All of their proposed amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act are expected to fail, but it’s part of a broader GOP messaging offensive to attack the Biden administration and Democrats over the withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

in control of the levers of power (having agreed with the UN human rights are to be respected a bit more than before) and have a quasi parliament, the bigger and longer a vacuume will exist for ISIS-K or al-Qaida to move in and take over in part. Then the US will have to re-engage in war, though without boots on the ground. The Republicans must want that.
