While the United States is being accused of fleeing Afghanistan, the columnist of an opposition Turkish newspaper does not believe that Washington's mission has failed, because somehow it does not seem like the Americans. He puts forward a version to a friend that, in his opinion, fits more accurately into the idea of a superpower. But what role is assigned to Turkey? Very unenviable, the journalist believes.

Mustafa Balbay, a columnist for the opposition newspaper Jumhuriyet, criticizes Turkey's readiness to maintain a military presence in Afghanistan.

According to him, it is easy to enter Afghanistan, known as the "swamp of empires", as it may seem, but it is not so easy to get out.

There is a lot of talk today that the US is leaving Afghanistan with a failure, but there is another side to the coin: The United States deliberately ensured the absence of a strong central government in this country, which would require the withdrawal of foreign forces, and is now looking for a "manager" to maintain this situation after their departure.

Against the background of these events, the first place on the Turkish agenda related to this country is occupied by the problem of refugees, which can become very painful, while the Turkish authorities look at everything, including this issue, from the position: "Will it bring money," the author is indignant.
