No trial just a death sentence?
The Taliban need to be wiped off the face of the earth!

Sorry, but the Taliban are again going to bring hell back to this country again.
The US really should've put ALL of their resources and effort into eradicating this cancer in the early/mid 2000s, when they had the chance, but they split their forces into Iraq instead.
This misdirection by the US is going to cause millions of Afghanis cruel hardship and many to lose their lives.

Barbaric, but this is what we expected.

Afghanistan has always been the graveyard of imperialists. After the Russians failed and left, the Americans stepped in and botched the job again. Instead there should have been a large-scale "Marshall Plan"-like international effort to rebuild the country within a federal framework respecting the ethnic diversity of the country and vaccinate the people against the virus of religious extremism with a viable economy, jobs for villagers and a modern education system opening opportunities for women as well as men to pursue their dreams. Now it looks like "Après les Américains, le déluge". Now a Taliban takeover will become a huge destabilizing presence in the region. Will the Iranians be next to sup from the poison chalice up the Khyber?

This is the future of the rest of the Afghan Government officials, unless they are able to take the funds they have secreted away from corruption and somehow get out of the country. Unlike Iran, the Taliban have not been reported to have overseas hit teams to follow them to their safe havens.

It is only a matter of time when Afghan as we know it no longer exists.

Taliban dragging Afghanistan back centuries to live in their personal Islamic fundamentalist nightmare. How many warlords were there again before the US came over?

Welcome as the Pashtun ethnic minority Taliban join the new government of Afghanistan.

A civilian, not a combatant, yet no due process
Why would anyone want such rulers

For a lot of Afghanis, a Taliban ruler is better than one that is perceived as being foisted on them by a foreign power. Doesn’t mean they’re better, but for some people, being Afghani is the most important thing for a government to be.

I mean, look how a bunch of Americans reacted to the fanciful notion that Biden getting elected might bring in such gross ‘foreign, European’ concepts as a decent wage and affordable healthcare.
