How long do the forumites give the Afghan "government?" I figured they would last half a year or so after we pulled out, but now I could see the Taliban back in control sooner.
You might be too optimistic.
They already control most of the country by geography.

As U.S. Troops Withdraw, A Map Shows The Taliban Control Much Of Afghanistan

A map compiled by a news site called The Long War Journal has an update on America's longest war. As U.S. troops withdraw from Afghanistan, the color-coded map shows the Taliban controlling much of that country, including almost all the borders. The U.S.-backed government mainly controls big cities and a large central area near Kabul, though not even all of that.
Taliban doubles number of controlled Afghan districts since May 1
