what in the world were they thinking to abandon -undestroyed weaponry to the enemy

I saw a reference made to a meeting between (then) President Trump and Taliban representatives, in which he told them of the consequences of a takeover after the U.S. left. I believe “cruise missiles with your names on them” was part of the discussion.

And they knew he’d do it, too. Nothing to fear now, though.

Trying to figure out why the Afghan military roll over so quick.

Peasant troops watching their corrupt elite get wealthy do not make the best fighting force.

Operation Cyclone

// There is terrible irony at work here. The humane response of people all over the world to the terrorism of September 11 has long been hijacked by those a rapacious great power with a history of terrorism second to none. *Global supremacy, not the defeat of terrorism, is the goal*; only the politically blind believe otherwise. //
