What Flavor Taliban Joe?

About a month ago, Afghanistan's ministry of defense posted on social media photographs of seven brand new helicopters arriving in Kabul delivered by the United States.
"They'll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support, going forward," U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters a few days later at the Pentagon.
In a matter of weeks, however, the Taliban had seized most of the country, as well as any weapons and equipment left behind by fleeing Afghan forces.

With the average Afghan IQ of 84, they have no use for those weapons.
But China, Iran and Russia have a need for those weapons.
Got to be deliberate.
They get stashes of weapons given to them.
Replaced my bicycle with a new Humvee. Thank you America.
Send the BATFE in there to get them back.
You can’t tell me that Obama just backdoor supplied his Muslim army.
The first question ANY reporter should ask at the next press conference is why we abandoned the VERY EXPENSIVE, VERY LETHAL military gear, which was bought and paid for by US AND NEVER INTENDED FOR THE AFGHANIS.
Biden MUST answer that question.
Because the only answer is sedition and treason.
Now will this administration have to supply them ammo wen they run out?
Good luck getting replacement image intensifier tubes for those night vision goggles.
That could be one of the coming ransom demands.
Some being packed up and shipped someplace
And one more time.
Afghan ethnic groups are over 50% Pashtun. Look at those pictures again. Those are whites.
Now think about the census and what import of 300K high birth rate whites would mean. Afghanistan 4.2 births per woman. US Whites 1.6.
No way in HELL the Dems will let this happen.
No doubt in my mind. During Hussein’s first two terms, he did everything he could to help our enemies. This being essentially his third term, he’s making sure that help continues and goes to the next level.
The planes need to be maintained properly.
That is all. The camel drivers return to their Kamala’s.
Useless, unless maintained, the planes will become static displays. The only winner here is the companies that make up the “industrial complex,” who depend on the USA making war on others. Defensive/Offensive weapons, YES. Planes abandoned to the camel drivers, NO!
Why are we giving our treasure to the Boeing, Grumman, Lockheed-Martin, etc, etc, weapons builders and then leaving the weapons in the sand for others to spit on and never use? It is a waste of money and steel, aluminum, and brain work.
They’ll sell them to China. At least, I would. Without spare parts, knowledgeable maintainers, and skilled operators / pilots those things are useless. But useful to adversaries who want to know everything about them.
“Good luck getting replacement image intensifier tubes for those night vision goggles.”
No problemo! Six months from now the replacement parts will be on Aliexpress. They will only be 90% as good but they will cost 3% as much. I’ve always wanted one to hook up to an astronomical telescope.
China and Russia would probably love to get their hands on some PVS-7s, and or PVS-14s. I don’t know if they have anything better, I believe it’s ITAR that restricts sale of night vision and thermal of a certain generation to other countries.
