VOA: US Defense Chief Warns of al-Qaida, IS Rebound in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON - Top U.S. defense officials are sounding a dire warning about the danger Afghanistan’s top terror groups will pose to America once the last U.S. and coalition troops leave the country in the coming months.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told lawmakers Thursday that it will take groups like al-Qaida or Islamic State “possibly about two years” to regenerate the capability to plan attacks against the United States and its Western allies.
The nation’s top-ranking military officer, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, further warned that this timeline could be accelerated depending on the fate of the current Afghan government.

And?
Al-Qaida will fill any vacuum near the middle east when you have a country full of backwards, (By western standards), violent, (by American Democratic Cities standard) people. We can't do anything about that except spill our blood and continue to bankrupt our country. I know 911 was bad, 3,000 innocent people slaughtered in the worst way imaginable. But we
have hateful, lying, corrupt, communist and racists who are running everything in this country. And, to get rid of our individual liberties they are actively working to destroy everything. I feel the sting of their policies in my life. none of the negatives things I can count in my life is coming from Al-Qaida. None of the things i worry about in my life is coming from Al-Qaida. It is coming from my countrymen.

In two years? The American military will not have recovered by then. If fact we be in the throes of CRT and purges worse than Stalin's purges of the military in the 30s and Austin will be leading the purges.
So why is Austin bleating now?
Austin is so dumb and so liberal, he makes Quisling and the Vichy seem like super patriots.
