Joe Ga did not demand an immediate response from the Taliban, which would be unrealistic...
The current Taliban is better described as a victorious party in internal conflict rather than an organization.
Their core team is not weak in combat, but what has allowed them to expand to their current scale are the tribes that shift with the wind.
The Taliban is not a one-man show, and as the government forces retreat, the internal power struggle within the Taliban will soon reach a fever pitch.
Take Muhammad Yaqub as an example; he showed up at the negotiation site with a large number of corpses, and eventually bowed and admitted his mistakes to Boss Joe, which was a huge blow to his prestige.
This is the Taliban's own struggle...
This Yaqub ordered a tribal force to approach the Kandahar base from the southern landfill at the start of the war, and those men ended up being blown to pieces...
