The status quo at the time of the threat by the United States to attack Afghanistan in 2001 was the Taliban control of Afghanistan. The United States saw the Taliban government as harboring terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks and threatened military action. The attack by the United States, the United Nations' approval of it, the continuing insurgency after the war, and the defeat of the Taliban were all outcomes that occurred after the status quo.
