I doubt it now

Russia wants no part of it
Non of the European nations would do it alone
China has never shown interest in something of that nature

There’s really nobody left

China likes to play everything close to its chest. It may have no short-term plans, but long-term? Who can say. Certainly it seemed like the US had no interest in Afghanistan prior to 9/11, besides the usual finger-wagging at the Taliban.
