Regarding the news of Russia and China bravely choosing to stay in Afghanistan, and not organising an evacuation of their citizens - I'm thinking is is just possible that they are not doing it simple because they can't? I mean since yesterday commercial flights have stopped and US forces have taken over Kabul airport, we have since seen 10's of US, European and Indian military transports conducting ops. But I have not come across any news of Chinese or Russian aircraft landing (folks following FlightRadar24 etc correct me if I am wrong), this would have been the perfect opportunity for the PLA to show off their brand new Y-20s with wolf warrior special forces. Instead we are seeing US deploy forces, tankers, transports from bases near and far (10,000km+ away), but nothing from Chinese side whose border is only a few hundred km away?
