Plus, the US doesn't have any other foothold in Central Asia. And it has nothing to offer on the scale of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative which needs a stable Afghanistan. Aside from ISIS/Taliban, these are the reasons the US military is never leaving Afghanistan.
So despite propping up those post USSR stan states since the end of the cold War we still don't a significant presence in central Asia??

Very limited. A lot of them are still in Russia's sphere as economic ties are very close. Which means China's Belt and Road will be implemented pretty seamlessly.

US military has no real imprint either. That's all on the Eastern Europe front with NATO
