Quote: “I don’t think anyone is interested in Afghanistan 2.0. It would be wrong. Maybe it’s not quite comparable to Afghanistan, but disrespect for human life led to tragedy then.”
Details: The president added that “we remember what happened in Afghanistan when the Americans left in a hurry”.
He noted that there are enough examples of what happens “when someone finishes something without thinking it through and leaves too quickly”.
