Beamr,

It was reasonable for Finland to have left 200 people there: only one aircraft-load. Good job in getting them out after the surprise early collapse. Did any Afghan staff get evacuated with them?

However it was not reasonable for the UK to have left so many citizens and thousands of vulnerable Afghan workers in country so close to the deadline given the known extent of Taliban control in the countryside and the refusal of either Afghan party to enter talks.
