There Is Only One Option on Afghanistan
Option 1. Withdraw all 2,500 US troops by May 1.
Option 2. Negotiate an extension with the Taliban, then leave.
Option 3. Stay in Afghanistan indefinitely.
Summarizes
Vox:
If the US leaves in the next three months, it’s likely the Taliban will overrun the US-backed Afghan government and once again make life worse for millions of Afghans, especially women and children.
Staying in Afghanistan just a little bit longer would likely delay that takeover, but would also expend any diplomatic capital the US has left with the Taliban and keep US troops in harm’s way.
Finally, violating the terms of the agreement and remaining indefinitely will almost certainly lead the Taliban to restart its campaign, put on hold ahead of the May 1 deadline, to kill American service members in the country.
