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.
When it comes to Afghanistan there is a refusal not only by the media and the so called (in name only) democratic party but by Christian leaders like Pope Francis to approach exposing the Taliban for it being a theocracy following the sharia creed which denies free will and ridicule their claim they are authorized by Our Creator to execute non believers. and instead brags about working with them.
If that exposure was explored and the emphasis was placed on Our Savior’s activities bringing in the New Covenant there would be more conversions.
How many acres, or should it be measured in square miles, was Bagram air base? My understanding is that it was one of the largest air bases in the entire world.
You would think that the environmentally friendly Left would be going bats*** bonkers over our leaving hundreds of thousands of tons of obviously dangerous and toxic material, much of it junked, in a place that seems to be relatively undeveloped and clean. Crickets. Nothing!!
It is. It was designed not only to deal with the middle east but with China.
Just remind Jen Snarky that she has never served in the military, so she can just go sit down.
FBI Involved I'm betting.
Lefty scum loves having Biden in White House to accomplish all this horrible situation behind the scenes. Left can never win when the truth is spoken.
Exactly what they need to attack Israel!
Giving aid to the enemy is treason, and treason is a capital offense per the constitution.
US Troops in Hunter Orange, to differentiate from the previous uniform.
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.
We destroyed the little dab of equipment at the Kobal airport on our way out. The other 99% at the other camps and airbases was left intact.
Exactly. It is all very carefully orchestrated. The transfer of billions of dollars in military equipment was the plan.
22,174 humvees, 42,000 pick-up trucks and suv’s, 8,000 trucks, and 634 M1117’s?
Where are they all parked?
In Iran as of yesterday!
Here’s the arsenal that we provided to the Taliban
