they will continue to have a diplomatic presence on the ground. and the u.s. can rely on the fact that they have relationships with the taliban to be able to get people out, to continue those evacuations. certainly it will be much more difficult, but it will still be possible. and don't forget, the u.s. will have leverage even though that leverage will be less without u.s. troops on the ground. we still have financial leverage with the taliban. the u.s. has frozen $9 billion in afghan central bank assets. the imf has cutoff funding to afghanistan. there are un sanctions on taliban leaders. so we still have leverage that we can use to get both american citizens that might be left behind as well as afghan allies even when our troops return home. >> you know, klarissa, it looks like the u.s. may not have any diplomatic presence in kabul
