At last we did something right. Under O, we left tons of equipment behind in Iraq, which ended up in the wrong hands (ISIS as well as others).
Always wondered if that wasn’t intentional...
I agree with you. Seemed intentional.
This time no equipment left behind and we eliminated munitions. Makes a heck of a lot more sense than the “French Way” of dropping your gun and letting it fall into enemy hands.
The Kurds are mercenaries. Whomever’s payroll they end up on next will have to furnish equipment and munitions.
Remember when we lost the F117 in Somalia? It was brought down largely intact, and SOP for our forces was to bomb the crash site. But by the time we got “permission” from the UN to launch the bombing sortie, the site had been picked clean by the enemy.
I was active duty AF at the time, Travis AFB, and they had a transient F117 in one of the hangers, cordoned off, under armed guard. Even as a mechanic working the flight line I wasn’t allowed within 100 feet of it.

No need to wonder it was it’s why he did it ties in with the 158 billion he gave Iran.
It was on purpose, why recycle when you can buy new with someone else’s money. He killed two birds with one stone, armed those who should not have been armed to fit his agnda, and made some bucks off selling our military more replacement equipment. McCain and Graham was in on that you can bet on it.
