My prediction is that the Taliban will not be in power for long. Afghanis don’t want to go back to 20 years ago. The NRF is likely to have 30,000-40,000 fighters in the next several months. Its going to get very interesting.

The Afghan army/citizen folded like Superman on laundry day in the presence of this particular sect of the Taliban (There are several). CIA is dried up there and the Taliban have backing by China who replaces the CIA as a funding mechanism. China could give a crap about "equality".

Most interesting aspect of this concerns the poppy fields. If the opium trade goes bust then these hardcore Taliban are serious as a heart attack. In my opinion, China will want that "industry" to continue so there might be a tit for tat, just like the CIA had with the Taliban.
