That the USA might not—ever—recognize the Taliban as the government of Afghanistan is frankly ridiculous.

This is merely one reason recognition is currently inconceivable:
It's not as if the Taliban are opposed to all protest marches. Some they zealously guard.

burkas and shouted “death to America” as they marched with Taliban fighters
standing guard.
Was the selection of a date unintentional- or did the Taliban figure "9/11" was a nice touch? Business Insider last week reported
The Taliban on Tuesday announced an interim government in Afghanistan that excludes women and includes the head of a militant group who's wanted by the FBI.
Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, one of the Taliban's
founders, was named prime minister. He's on a United Nations blacklist.....
The Taliban named Sirajuddin Haqqani interior minister. Haqqani is the head of the Haqqani Network — a US-designated terror group in Pakistan and Afghanistan with close ties to al-Qaida — and there's a $10 million US bounty on his head.
The FBI's most wanted list says Haqqani is wanted for "questioning in connection with the January 2008 attack on a hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed six people, including an American citizen."
Sweethearts, all of them. Times change, people change, regimes change, and the Taliban- along with Al Qaeda- is hostile toward ISIS-K. However, sometimes the enemy of our enemy is not our friend and for the foreseeable future, the theocratic fascists in Kabul cannot be recognized as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
