WASHINGTON — For months, the Biden administration was stockpiling military equipment for the Taliban before the collapse of the Afghan government. The report comes from Reuters who shares that well over a month before the Taliban’s march across the country, the Biden administration was sending military equipment to Afghanistan amid a “planned withdrawal.”
The plans of the Biden administration were not very well thought out or executed. But perhaps this was the plan all along.
According to Reuters, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters, “They’ll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support, going forward.”
The Biden administration had continued to ship new firearms, drones, communication gear, and more to the nation that they had plans to abandon in just a few short weeks. Even as the Taliban takeover continued, the shipments continued. The Taliban has bragged about the equipment they obtained, with videos of helicopters and firearms posted online.
According to one official, reported by Reuters, “the current intelligence assessment was that the Taliban are believed to control more than 2,000 armored vehicles, including U.S. Humvees, and up to 40 aircraft potentially including UH-60 Black Hawks, scout attack helicopters, and ScanEagle military drones.” That’s not just a few pieces of military equipment, that’s essentially a start-up kit for a defense force.
Reuters reports that the Biden administration is very concerned about the large amount of equipment that was left behind. According to reports, the administration has contemplated airstrikes to take out large pieces of equipment, but it has yet to put together a plan.
Officials report they are less concerned about the equipment because it is technologically advanced. They state it takes significant maintenance time and training to operate. Perhaps that was before China and Russia both have claimed their interest in Afghanistan.

When in public, Plugs is hyped up on amphetamines and anti phycotics.
Plugs only repeats what the Voice in his ear says and the teleprompter in front of him.
“i don’t want to hear about gun control ever again”!
Thread winner! I know exactly what you mean.
Remember when somebody nameless during Obama, landed a brand new stealth drone probably worth a billion dollars itself, not to mention the priceless technology, onto an Iranian air field????
So you’re saying you smell chit? Right?
For sure.
Along with a few hungry tigers.
Yep, one of the worst POSs who ever lived. He’s as evil as anyone who ever walked the face of the earth.
How many hunter biden paintings did the Taliban buy?
Definitely an Obama/Jarrett operation.
What did Lara Logan say?
Not her exact word, but I would translate them to say; Plausible Deniability. When some advanced hardware starts turning up in places like Iran or Pakistan or even China or Russia.
treason
Only concerned about the bad optics.
"Kamala, why did you leave all that equipment behind? What type of a VP are you, anyway?"
Jimmy Carter , Arab country / muslim overthrow.
Deja Vu, all over again.
Treason pure and simple. Joe Bidden is owned by China and he has sold out the USA to his masters in Peking.
Oh cmon man.
The Tally band said (promised) they would be nice and peaceful .
You Trumpers are just mad.
And Joe doesn’t send mean tweets
Yes, and it breaks my PO meter.
Biden wouldn’t remember even if he could.
Absolutely. The "Arab Spring" gang rides again.
“Absolutely. The “Arab Spring” gang rides again”.
Excellent reminder.
Obama and Jarrett are pure evil.
