The United States cannot repeat its Syria withdrawal mistake in Afghanistan

President Trump’s sudden withdrawal has opened opportunities for rival powers to exert greater influence in the Middle East and in Afghanistan.

As India considers its next steps in Afghanistan, it may well conclude that it can no longer remain a mere spectator in peace efforts.
