Antony Blinken: “The problem that we face now is exactly what you pointed to, the edicts promulgated by the Taliban, preventing women…”

That statement is incorrect.

The U.S. government was concerned Beijing was considering augmenting its support for Russia with 'everything from ammunition to the weapons themselves.'

Today, Secretary Blinken said that, now, they mostly want to see is 'people being able to return their homes.'

We assess that Hamas has recruited almost as many new militants as it has lost. That is a recipe for an enduring insurgency and perpetual war.
