the bigger problem in afghanistan at the moment is isis. they are increasingly recruiting from neighboring countries, and those individuals are coming in where they're getting training from isis and the concern is that they might leave afghanistan, go back to their home countries and conduct attacks against western interests. think embassies. the bigger terrorism problem is actually in africa, all the way from somalia to west africa, where you've got both al qaeda affiliates and isis affiliates. they have control of huge swaths of territory. they have conducted local attacks so far. but western military bases in africa and possibly europe could be targets. if we're going to make a prediction for 2023, i would say we're going to see a terrorist attack against a western interest somewhere in the world. >> well, that's terrifying. it's sobering. it's a reminder that declaring victory was too early. >> terrorism has always waxed and waned. it has always gone up and down. and i think it's starting to bounce back again. >> general mcmaster, do yo

when i talk to women on the ground in afghanistan they're devastated. the common dee mom nater is that the afghan people will suffer. they will suffer under the new mandate by the taliban saying women can't work for ngos and they will suffer because the ngos are rolling back their work in afghanistan, in fact, halting some of that work. the ngos they had a decision that had a double-edged sword. either let afghan women not work, which then hinders their own work in helping women and children in afghanistan, or halt their operations, which in the end will lead to afghan men, women and children unfortunately dying, especially leading up to these tortuous winter months where the country is going to be covered in snow, difficult access to many of these provinces, provinces that are already suffering that can't be reached for medicine or food. so, again, it's really the afghan people that will continue to suffer, but really i don't know what else the ngos could have done. it's either stand up for women now or let them suffer in the long run as well. >> a dif
