The Taliban are parading U.S. weapons left in Afghanistan on Kabul’s streets.
From Foreign Policy, APRIL 28, 2022, 3:46 PM.

Almost 80 U.S. aircraft—with control panels smashed out—were left abandoned at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport when the United States pulled out last August. The United States left behind nearly 42,000 pieces of night vision, surveillance, biometric, and positioning equipment in the Taliban-controlled country.

To: I want the USA back

What’s messed up is that ITAR restrictions will prohibit the shipping of some consumer electronics (cameras, and night vision devises) to be shipped overseas, even places in western Europe, yet government can just leave it all behind without so much as an “oopsy daisy”.
