Asked if troops could return to Afghanistan, Johnson said:

You've got to recognise that the history of Afghanistan is cyclical sadly. Over different epochs different expeditionary forces sent in by different powers with the view to try and destabilise the country. But what I hope is that there is now a different path forward.

There's got to be a world in which the people of Afghanistan find the leadership, find the wisdom to come together to make accommodations, for all the factions to get together to agree on a way forward for that country.
