If foreign adversaries see the United States humiliated in such a manner, they will calculate that the United States can be pushed back at low cost to them.
They are not a reliable counterterrorism partner. So I would instead focus on, No. 1, continuing to apply sanctions pressure to the Taliban until they uphold their commitments under the Doha Agreement to break with terrorists.
I don't see any Democratic-leaning trends on behalf of the Taliban, ma'am. I mean, they are largely a totalitarian authoritarian-style government.
