Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) said America\u2019s Afghan affairs were now in worse shape than they were 20 years ago. During an interview on Monday, Waltz said the U.S. no longer had political leverage over Taliban due to Joe Biden\u2019s chaotic withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>The congressman stressed back in 2001, the U.S. at least had the Northern Alliance, who had been fighting the Taliban for years. He added the terror group now appeared to dominate Afghan politics.<\/p>\n<p>Security analysts have warned the Taliban may take a more assertive stance in Central Asia following its takeover of U.S. military facilities and equipment. The total value of abandoned equipment was estimated at $10 billion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The War in Afghanistan has not ended.
