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.

EVERY SINGLE vehicle or plane EVER sold, given, or transferred to another country should have a satellite controlled disable capability. If Siriux XM can do it, certainly the greatest military engineers could do it. Best to have them drop out of the sky at 500 feet to assure no or few successful ejections.
And Milley and the POS Sec. Def. are complicit.
Biden is seriously mentally compromised but the truth is that he has always been a moron and a dufus who screws up everything he touches with his weird and hubristic mindset. It's amazing that he has gotten away with all the stuff he has.
So with Biden you get a lose - lose situation where a guy who has always been a walking disaster waiting to happen being put in position to do great harm when he is mentally compromised and losing what little self control and situational awareness he has ever had.
Worst of all, he is a mean and vindictive person who knows he has has very little time left so for Biden, a long term view is staying in his power position as President for the what can only be a year or so at most.
I think he is being run by the same cast of Barak Obama limousine revolutionaries and community organizers that Trump ousted.
This is why we must publicly hang traitors, for the world to see. And make the next leader witness the hanging so he knows exactly what the punishment for treason is
And we have thousands in need of such trials
John McCain, the traitor, spit on his grave, would be proud of Sleepy Creepy Joe.
On Tucker, she said that the U.S. could have shut down the Taliban's supply lines into Pakistan, but deliberately did not.
It sounds more and more like this whole stinking mess was planned.
to quote Joe, ‘it was 4 or 5 days ago!”
so,,,, who in those 4 or 5 days was working on a plan?
but we really want to know who signed the go order on repeated shipments to Afganistan as towns were already falling?
The globalists are hoping they’d advance to upper Stans to destabilize the Russian border.
How soon will those weapons start flowing across the Mexican border?
Obama and company did the same thing in Iraq despite reports of individuals linked to Saddam building up for 6 months prior to the chaos unleashed throughout the middle east. We left all that equipment their and they used it. Are government has gone rogue for quite sometime. We no longer have any say in what happens.
(liberated for future use)
Like Bush and al-Qaida. We have been deceived by both sides
I am sure Sen. Linda Gramnesty will investigate and get to the bottom of it. /sarc
