I hope we have a plan for them.We left, totally and without warning to the Afghan government or military. Now we're rapidly approaching 10K service members being back in (not deployed to but on the ground) AFG just to clean up our Embassy personnel, their families and those Afghans that worked for us or NATO and can get to HKIA (Hamid Karzai International Airport) before the Taliban come knocking on their front door and you "hope" there's a plan?There never was one in the first place. Not since Oct 2001 and up through today.The plan was to kill UBL (we did eventually). That was it. Everything afterwards was done by the seat of our pants and 20 years later, we're still wearing that same set of worn out pants.Pretty sure we told them we were going to be gone by last December, so I'm not sure if the "no warning" part checks out.

I’m not a map expert but are China and Russia closer to Afghanistan than the US?

Oh, and yeah, Trump exiting Afghanistan to appease Putin was a huge #blueanon talking point. You just don’t remember.
