In the video an opinion was voiced, that the Taliban will fail because Taliban and ISIS ideologically are very close, but since the Taliban has to compromise their principles and turn pragmatic since they are wishing to govern in Afghanistan, they will lose support while ISIS will gain more power as more and more people start to back them.
I think this could lead to an interesting scenario where the Taliban could reach out to their former enemies, but in this case it can be demanded from them to compromise more and more. They're gonna have to walk the razor's edge.
