White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that it was not the Biden administration’s intention to arm the Taliban with billions of dollars in military equipment originally given to the Afghan government but claimed that the United States is taking steps to “reduce the amount of equipment” in the Taliban’s possession before completing the troop withdrawal at the end of the month.
Psaki, fielding questions at Monday’s White House press briefing, declined to “get into details” of how specifically U.S. forces are carrying out the equipment destruction or recovery but assured reporters “that is part of their effort.”
Rep. Jim Banks, an Indiana lawmaker who chairs the Republican Study Committee and served in Afghanistan, estimated the value of what was left behind at $85 billion.
Here’s the aresenal that we provided to tthe Talibans:
It seems that Psaki as the rest of her administration provided us with some fake news as not a single piece of military equipment was destroyed and our forces left yesterday!
This morning a video surfaced of the Taliban military parade where you can’t tell the difference if it’s America’s military parade or Taliban’s!
Video below:
But like that humiliation is not enough the Taliban use this equipment to improve their crippled economy!
A social media post originating in Iran posted several images of Humvees loaded on transport trucks stopped on the side of an Iranian highway. An Iranian Telegram channel that covers military stories has released these “exclusive” images that purportedly show humvees and other military vehicles spotted on the Semnan-Garmsar road in Iran. Images below:
The source which is an Iranian journalist reporting for BBC claims that he is sure that those are Iranian roads:
The equipment is likely s tiny portion of the massive military cache the Biden administration abandoned in Afghanistan. It would make sense for the Taliban to sell off anything they don’t intend to use in order to fund their government without having to deal with any U.S. demands.
Iran is an enemy of the United States and a major backer of terrorism. Joe Biden may be guilty of providing material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization (18 U.S. Code 2339B).
Obama gave the mullahs billions in cash on a pallet, his pupil just gave them warfighting equipment.
Gives you an idea about how long these aircraft and tanks will be usable.
Isn’t this akin to what they (democrats) accused Olli North of in Iran Contra?
We’re going to be finding US military equipment all over the middle east we never intended to be there. Count on it. Thanks Biden.
Zero surprise, and I said the other day that anything the Taliban couldn’t figure out how to use someone who help them with (although I thought it would be China). America’s own domestic terrorists the Democrats are best friends with Afghani terrorists the Taliban. I read an article over at The Right Scoop on that, “Psaki affirms that Biden is relying on Taliban promise to get Americans out”, which you can find there, so give that a look. It isn’t like they’ve ever lied to us (or worse) before ‘circle back’ Jen! When the USSR left Afghanistan in 1989 they left no weapons and zero people. Biden is worse than they were.
Obama armed ISIS in much the same way. Remember he also said we had to live with them as the ‘new normal’. Trump broke up their caliphate quickly. Biden is rebuilding it.
Obama funded and armed ISIS. Biden is funding and arming the Taliban. It’s what Democrats do.
Team Biden PUTTING TERRORISTS IN CHARGE OF OUR PHYSICAL SECURITY AT KABUL AIRPORT was a CRIMINAL act resulting in the slaughter of 13 U.S. servicemen.
PROSECUTIONS are in order here.
In a sane world.
Unfortunately we don’t live in one.................
More treason.
WHY are we not using some our famed “Over the Horizon” technology and capabilities to destroy these caravans of Biden Gifts to the Taliban?? A couple of drone strikes would not only eliminate the tech but also take out the transport trucks and perhaps even the ROAD!
I’d rather we bury Biden and the administration up to their chest and let the families of those murdered by his actions throw rocks until the American traitors are dead.
We had no armor on our vests nor the hummers during Desert Storm.
Those that had the vest (with plates) bought them with their own money. :P
All part of Obama's plan.
