Some of you have some really shit takes on this, I have to say...
I mean, look, I don't like what Globohomo has done, in the West, either. I'm not a fan of American imperialism. But if you think the Taliban are somehow "good", or "morally righteous", or that marrying off 12-year olds, or throwing people off buildings, is somehow acceptable, or, hell, if you think that Biden did this in the right way, and didn't completely cock it up... Then really, I'm not sure you're that much better than the people you insult.
Here's a surprisingly "not online" take: Afghans are people, too. As are the Westerners still trapped there (though I care less about them). Have some goddamn empathy for a moment. This is a disaster. It's not entirely Biden's fault, but so much of it is. Anyone could have foreseen this, even a dumbass 78-year old career politician who was in power when Saigon happened, and who calls serving solders "dull bastards"...
So... I get that we like to make fun of things, in this forum. I get that, but just... For just this once, TRY and have a little empathy for the hundreds of thousands of people who may die from this, let alone the trillions of dollars your country and mine wasted on this stupid war, for fucking nothing, instead of just spouting whatever crap comes into your mind to "own the libs", or come up with some witty rhetorical crap about "heheheh based Taliban"...
The DHS already said I am a "Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland" for my shitty COVID takes on the internet, while Antifa stabs a guy on the streets of Los Angeles while every single cop in California magically vanishes.
Sorry, I care more about my own ass, my entire family, and my dog, getting the federal Waco barbeque treatment or the Washington DC solitary confinement camp or the Ashli Babbit killshot, than someone else getting murdered by the Taliban, somewhere far far away.
Ask the American government to give a shit, the American government sends the soldiers overseas, not the "Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland" people on a shitty internet forum.
In short, it still sucks for those in Afghanistan, but I still don't care.
D.C. jail treatment of Capitol riot defendants draws bipartisan outrage
"It was a well-thought-out strategic plan" to transfer inmates to D.C., where they can be "mic'd in a cage," lawyer says.

The issue could complicate D.C.'s bid for statehood. "D.C.'s house is not in order, and the solution is not to grant it even more authority through statehood," Comer said April 19 in response to a Washington Post report that characterized the jail's COVID-19 order as "mass solitary confinement."
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) also cited the Post report in an April 22 floor speech against D.C. statehood. Alleging the city has been "essentially torturing inmates" for more than a year, Higgins said: "That is ultimately a violation of the 8th Amendment ... Is this what we can expect from a D.C. state?"

Yeesh.
