Here's a small sample of the military hardware now arming the Taliban {Courtesy of Biden}

75,000 War Vehicles including light and medium tactical vehicles, Humvees, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, armored personnel carriers. For example, the nearly 1000 Mine Protected vehicles cost up to $767,000 each.

208 airplanes and helicopters including 20 A-29 Super Tuscano attack aircraft. The A-29's cost 21.3 million each. Black hawk helicopters were also captured, each costing up to $21 mlllion.

600,000 rifles, machine guns, shotguns, howitzers were transferred to Afghan security forces. And 25,000 grenade launchers and 2,500 howitzers, the modern day cannon.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Any chance this wasn't an "accident" or "oversight" but part of some Biden backroom deal that wasn't in the interests of USA?

Jennifer Griffin on Fox News says that much of the military equipment seized by the Taliban was meant to supply the Afghan army after we left. The Generals didn't expect the Afghan army to collapse so quickly (Griffin said they thought they would last at least 2 to 3 months), but they did and the Taliban took all the equipment.

This is what we get when the media and both political parties refused to look into Hunter’s laptop & Demented Joe’s mental status.

If these people had a brain all of this could have been avoided; a little foresight is a powerful tool. A chip in all these vehicles, planes, helicopters, etc. could have been installed that could be remotely activated to disable anything with the chip.

It is not incompetence, it is purposefully malicious.

Intelligence stated otherwise with regards to Afghanis being overrun.
They left the fortified air base.
They let military leave before civilians, and destruction of intelligence assets. The Taliban now know who to kill because of our equipment and files. No f’ing way that’s an accident.

Griffin said they thought they would last at least 2 to 3 months

So it was thought that it would take 2-3 months before the Taliban got the whole kit and caboodle.

If the Afghan Army was 150,000 strong, we left them with 4 infantry rifles apiece. Do we maintain such an inventory for US military members likely to face combat?

Quoted for truth. The Afghanistan fiasco is 100% bipartisan in nature.

It is not incompetence. It is deliberate malfeasance across the board to carry out the paid-for wishes of the Chicoms. With Trump out of office, the Chicom takeover of our government can rage unabated. Leaving weapons for the Taliban means they can effectively guard mining sites and transport of ore to China. Marooning Americans means the Taliban has American human shields to give Biden an excuse to not counterattack.

A clusterf*** on this scale cannot be attributed to incompetence. This was a highly competent clusterf*** designed to hamstring the United States. All of the millions the ChiComs paid to Biden are bearing fruit.

They removed air support from the Afghan military. The entire doctrine for that military was having American air superiority. Once we slunk out of Bagram in the middle of the night, the result was pre-ordained. By design.

I agree completely.
All of this is by design.

Afghanistan, southern border, destroying energy independence, inflation, crime, fomenting racism, and on and on...

What else could it have been.

It’s too large scale to be oversight.

I’ve been saying on every thread. This is not incompetence!

IT IS SIMPLY TREASON.

How it was: Pres. Trump: "Do Not Try Us"

How it is post Election Fraud without a nanogram of accountability:
