isis in general is a meme at this pointAny time you see a media rag talking about ISIS being a threat in Afghanistan its bullshit. Its the intelligence agencies trying to gin up the War on Terror again to justify their existence. The Taliban are ruthlessly more devoted to stomping out ISIS in Afghanistan, the country is unironically better off in Taliban hands than the Afghan Republic as far as matter is concerned -- the first thing the Taliban did when they took control of Kabul was head over the nearby prison and free all of their fighters, then they took the leader of ISKP out of his cell and executed him on the spot. The Taliban have more to fear than Westerners when it comes to ISKP attacks because they just whacked the leader and ISKP would be looking for reprisal opportunities.
the main organisation is in shambles, all those "IS khorasan" type spllinters aren't really parts of it, they're just older jihadi groups who put on the ISIS name and aesthetics when ISIS was big because they figured it'd boost their reputation. like, boko haram in nigeria at one point declared themselves "ISIS west africa division" or something like that despite having nothing to do with any of the actual ISIS guys in syria and iraq.
hell, even abu sayyaf in the fucking philippines adopted the ISIS flag and name lol
