Modern day Taliban isn't the same of 20+ years ago, they have now friendly relations with many of their former enemies (Iran, Russia, China) because their former enemies are now also enemies of the US and you know enemy of enemy is my friend...Taliban 20+ years ago was isolated with everyone against it and they had no modern weapons too, now they have modern NATO weapons they got from US military which forgot to pick up when withdrawing and also Russian and Iranian weapons. I doubt it very much that US will invade Afghanistan again. They will eventuatlly accept the new Afghan government just like they eventually accepted Vietnam, China or even North Korea or also the Democratic Kampuchea at its time.
If US invades, it might fuel the rise for ISIS-K in Afghanistan as the Taliban is the only thing fighting the advance of ISIS in Afghanistan right now since the Panjshir rebels have died out. Afghanistan is now just radical islamists vs even more radical islamists. So it would be a stupid move to attack the Taliban when it is the only thing stopping the ISIS from taking over Afghanistan and ISIS is worse than Taliban for americans since those guys are actually aggressive and want to wage a war of expansion in Central Asia to create a Caliphate and do terror attacks in the West. I don't think the US would want that right?
