Welcome to Foreign Policy’s Security Brief, and happy International Procrastination Day. Feel free to laze around today, but when you get back to the grind tomorrow, remember the wise words of the great Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation: “There’s nothing we can’t do if we work hard, never sleep, and shirk all other responsibilities in our lives.”
The highlights this week: The perennial problem of vacant posts across the U.S. government’s national security agencies, lawmakers weigh in on Afghanistan withdrawal plans, and North Korea reminds Washington it’s still in the game.
