From a military officer's perspective, I'd be stunned if Russia and China didn't look favorably upon the inevitable Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. I'd throw the UK on that list, too.
It's a foregone conclusion that Pakistan is on the Taliban bandwagon; their prime minister's nickname is Taliban Khan, for Pete's sake.
I predict a watch and wait game while the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan pays lip service to desiring international recognition and nation building while terrorist harboring and human rights abuses pile up.
