I'm a bit surprised there isn't a thread about this already.

Pretty obviously the situation there is a clusterfuck of monumental proportions - it's being compared to the Suez Crisis for the UK and the fall of Saigon for the US.

Equally obviously the Taliban will take the country back to the 14th Century, despite protestations to the contrary, and will become a new rallying point for what remains of IS and similar abrahamic death cultists.

Anyone got a take on the likely fallout from this?

(I personally haven't a clue, but am interested in others, particularly US, perspectives).
