#1 There is a strong likelihood of a massive spillover of fighters to IS-K if Taliban secure loans from international lenders or even states on a certain interest rate. IS-K has accused the Taliban regime of betraying the religion in letter and spirit and this could be a really big nail in the coffin of the group, if not the final.

The assumption here is that these people really believe what they preach. Maybe jihadism is just a horse each player is riding to temporal power. They'll use Islamic rhetoric against their enemies within and without, but flout these principles if that's what it takes to hang on to power.
