Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton expressed concern over the recent attack in Moscow, attributing it to what he called a dangerous consequence of President Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Cotton highlighted the attack in Moscow, where over 130 people were killed and many others injured, as a troubling parallel to the aftermath of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.
Referring to ISIS-K's claim of responsibility for the Moscow attack, Cotton emphasized the potential threat posed by the group, particularly in projecting attacks beyond Afghanistan with little warning. He underscored the urgency of the situation, warning of possible future attacks on Western interests in Asia and Europe, including American embassies and travelers.
