I beg to differ.Taliban proper cannot be separated from Pakistan,at least until they win.If they win.But there are a bunch of de facto allies of the Taliban inside A-stan.The chaps tried and to a point they managed to extend in non-Pashtun areas in the last 2 years.Those new recruits are purely anti-Kabul.The result of a decade of mismanagement (and that's a word unusually kind).
Drug dealers are another ally of convenience.Funny is that here the Taliban proper,the pure criminal ''entrepreneurs'' and GIROA converge.Everybody likes a buck.
Beside drug dealers,there are the smaller,local criminals.Those can be allies of convenience to the taliban.Chaos favors the extortion bussiness or simple,mundane,robbery.
Not even trying to go into what makes Taliban themselves.We'll end the list tommorow;)
My point.Even without Pakistan there are enough forces in A-stan that guarantee troubles.First and foremost is GIROA.
Of course, without Pakistan and their soul children there won't be any Western force,so it's a sort of tit for tat.
