Smuggling Is On Full Swing In Afghanistan As Photos Reveal That Talibans Are Transferring American Automatic Weapons And Humvees To Iran
Defiant America ^ | 09.06.2021 | Mack Cogburn

Last week White House press secretary Jen Psaki said 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 the 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 arsenal that we provided to the Taliban:

It seems that Psaki as the rest of her administration provided us with some fake news as much of the of military equipment which was left behind wasn’t was destroyed.

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:

It’s obvious that the Taliban will sell a lot of weapons to our biggest enemies.

The Taliban has invited a number of countries, including Russia, to take part in an event dedicated to the announcement of the composition of the new Afghan government, the group’s representative whose name was not revealed told the Al Jazeera TV channel on Monday.

“We have sent invitations to Turkey, China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar to take part in the [ceremony] of announcing [the composition of the new Afghan] government,” he said.

I don't believe it's smuggling when they do it openly and publicly, they're just doing what they always did just without restrictions. Thank you Joe Bidden for handing out our high-tech weapons to our worst enemies. Who will answer for these crimes?

Geez, Xiden really gave away the store. Do we have any enemies around the world who didn't benefit from Xiden's blunder?

Are some choice pieces of equipment and the service dogs being sent to North Korea? The abandonment of the service dogs did more to harm Biden with his base than the abandonment of American women and children to the Taliban.

Valerie Jarrett is a closet Iranian. Maybe she planned the surrender in Afghanistan to transfer arms to Iran.

And now we can be sure that Iran has been involved in supporting and training the Taliban, as part of low-level warfare against the US.

To the Víctor go the spoils.
Does that mean that Iran is the winner.

"Boy. This all worked out well. Thanks “ experts “."

Yep - now we'll be able to let out some contracts for new uniforms, personal equipment and THE NEW RIFLE, so we will be distinguishable from our foes.

You know THE NEW RIFLE - it's like the fickle teenage girl, where she finds the dreamy hunk of her fantasies just in time to get bored, lose interest and pick at minor faults to justify looking for the next Mr. Wonderful.

Well, to be fair, they probably have more than they can use, and I don’t think we put any strings on the Taliban for what they could do with this stuff; they could probably use the money.

I wonder when they will be setting up an auction site. I helped pay for some of that equipment, and I’d like a chance to get some of it back at reasonable prices. Yes, I know it will be expensive and difficult to ship, but maybe our South American friends could make a few bucks to get their new lives in America started with by doing some shipping on the open southern border.

I really don’t have any interest in weapons, but I’d like one of those night vision things to hook up to my telescope. Doesn’t have to be in perfect physical condition but the optics must be good.

This sounds like it might be illegal, but seriously, who would be more trustworthy with that equipment? The Iranians or us?

Team biden gifted the Taliban with millions of dollars worth of hardware.
Otherwise,they would have to admit to a poorly executed exit plan.

Seems like we could have made some kind of deal with a non-muslim country. Germany or France?
