Joe Biden Just Gave The Taliban An Arsenal Of Military Weapons

Indeed, the Taliban captured essentially all the necessary ingredients to fully equip both an army and an air force, spanning the gamut from 600,000 rifles and machine guns; 76,000 vehicles, such as high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles, armored trucks, and pickups; radios, night vision googles, and drones; and 208 helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

That happened, like, 4 or 5 days ago. I mean, c’mon, man!

They will sell that junk to the highest bidder as soon as sand ...well... as soon as sand.

Tony Blair’s condemnation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan – based, he wrote, upon an “imbecilic political slogan about ending the ‘forever wars’”, which just happens to be what Joe Biden ran on in 2020 – marks the complete transformation of elite perceptions of the Biden presidency. The establishment consensus, desperate to be rid of Donald Trump, was that the veteran Democrat would be a return to stability. Instead, the haunting scenes of chaos at Kabul airport have led to denunciation even by Left-wing admirers – by almost every faction in the foreign policy debate, in fact, from those who think we should stay to those who believe we should never have gone there.

The United States’ tawdry, hopelessly mishandled withdrawal matters to the entire Western community because it has grim humanitarian consequences, Islamists have gained a base of operations and our global competitors are emboldened.

Dumbkirk Biden!:

looks like FEMA will just have to make do with
their already-landed guillotines for Americans.

[MtnClimber]

A one-world caliphate is what the left wants too.

[Ransomed]

Good point. And at least Russia has a potential alternate market for all the cheapo steel case 5.56 that won’t be coming to the US anymore.

[rktman]

Butt, don’t even think about buying an “ass-salt” weapon.

[RandallFlagg]

This should once and for all nuke every one of their gun control ideas.

[foundedonpurpose]

Don’t suppose that I could get a few, wait, I’d never get into the airport with my head.

[blueunicorn6]

Somebody supported this stupid son of a bitch Biden.

[Delta 21]

So, what I legally have on my residential property is no longer officially considered an “arsenal”, correct?

[Democrats hate too much]

So he was just planning on leaving them there? I understand he was doing what Obama did to start the ISIS wave where Americans's were told to leave keys in the hummers in Iraq.
but for a second, lets for the fun of it give Biden the benefit of the doubt. SO HE WAS JUST PLANNING ON LEAVING EVERYTHING THERE?

Taliban will use the arms donation to become a major player international arms sales, primarily to other jihadi outfits.

[Leaning Right]

I don’t know how smart the Taliban leadership is. But if they were smart, they’d hire “mercenary” mechanics to maintain their new, sophisticated weapons.

Pay them very well, and treat them very nice. It could work.
