Experts say with the Taliban ultimately wants is power into rule their own Islamic state a return to the way things work when they last rule. But there’s a very real and immediate threat to those who once stood in their way. It probably are going to want to exert some degree of punishment. Against the Afghans who work because we’ll see in this or it’s unclear what degree of punishment that will be but it could even include executions.
