There has been mention by Chris that there will be fighting coming up at the deadline Joe picked and then the Taliban held him to.
Maybe, but I doubt it because every single injury and death is a PR nightmare to Biden and his handlers. This is their biggest concern as demonstrated early on in the Afghanistan fiasco. Obama gave pallets of cash secretly to the a terrorist nation to buy their cooperation (Iran), and he is undoubtedly still having input into Biden’s senility plagued tenure. The Taliban is potentially viewed as a new legitimate ruling government, and thus this situation will be close enough for this WH.
Please prove me wrong Biden. But understand that if the Taliban just mysteriously backs off, you know what to look for. The other possibility is the US facilitating the recognition of the Taliban at the UN if they want that, but that is politically problematic for Biden also.

Let me take you to Section 3 of the Doha agreement unartfully negotiated by Mike 'Pompous' Pompeo.
1. The United States will request the recognition and endorsement of the United Nations Security
Council for this agreement.
. IV
2. The United States and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United
States as a state and is known as the Taliban seek positive relations with each other and expect
that the relations between the United States and the new post-settlement Afghan Islamic
government as determined by the intra-Afghan dialogue and negotiations will be positive.
3. The United States will seek economic cooperation for reconstruction with the new postsettlement Afghan Islamic government as determined by the intra-Afghan dialogue and
negotiations, and will not intervene in its internal affairs.
