Images of the collapse of the Afghan government in Kabul bring back painful memories of a similar collapse in the wake of a similar U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975. The comparisons with Vietnam, however, go beyond American humiliation and defeat — and the abandonment of those whom American power was supposed to protect. If history is any guide, we can expect America’s retreat also to boost the opportunities for our superpower rival. In 1975 that was the Soviet Union; today it’s Communist China.
