So, of the various scenarios I posted above, the one about the Western forces leaving even earlier is very likely: Some Western countries are already ramping up on leaving. Not a surprise.

More attacks at airport likely - veteran US colonel

Mike Jason, a former US Army battalion commander who was deployed to Afghanistan, said that observers “all knew that this was going to happen”.

“The targets are just too lucrative and the symbolic gesture just too attractive to these people,” he said.

Analysts believe the blasts are probably the work of Isis-K, the Afghan affiliate of Islamic State.
Col Jason said he believed Isis-K would "absolutely” make another attempt to attack the evacuations.

“They’ve got the resources and they’ve got the reach,” he said. “They’ve also got targets - the crowds of defenceless people who are desperate.”

Col Jason, who is working with a non-profit called Allied Airlift 21 that is aimed at evacuating US Afghan allies, said: “We have precious little time and we have to fight. We have five days until the final American pullout, and we don’t know what happens afterwards".
