There you go, in a nutshell.

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- No one has done more to strengthen the ability of the Taliban in their mission to perpetrate evil on the World than Joe Biden. While desperately trying to destroy the 2nd Amendment, Democrats are simultaneously handing over $83 billion worth of training and equipment to the enemy in a botched retreat from Afghanistan.
Aside from the fact that the Biden Administration pulled our military out while leaving unarmed and defenseless American Citizens behind, the enormous list of weapons and true military hardware that was gift-wrapped and handed to the Taliban is of great concern. The list of military equipment left behind in Afghanistan as a result of this haphazard military evacuation is extensive and includes the following:
American Aircraft, Equipment & Armored Vehicles
2,000 Armored Vehicles Including Humvees and MRAPs
75,989 Total Vehicles: FMTV, M35, Ford Rangers, Ford F350, Ford Vans, Toyota Pickups, Armored Security Vehicles etc.

50 MD530G Scout Attack Helicopters
ScanEagle Military Drones

Large Stockpile of Plate Carriers and Body Armor
US Military HIIDE, for Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment Biometrics
This is the information you are not supposed to have. According to Forbes, the Biden Administration is not helping transparency by “hiding key audits on Afghan military equipment.”
A GAO spokesman said “The State Department requested we temporarily remove and review reports on Afghanistan to protect recipients of US assistance that may be identified through our reports and thus subject to retribution.” However, the reports included no recipient information.
Never in American history have we seen such military failure.
The idea that American Citizens, left behind in Afghanistan, would be left defenseless as Taliban fighters go door to door seeking them out while using the weapons this Administration left behind, leads any logical thinking person to believe that there were ulterior motives. This is a mistake that a group of third-graders playing backyard tag wouldn’t be so foolish to make. The top priority is to get your teammates to safety, but apparently, the Biden Administration had a different plan.
While Joe and his Cover-Up Queen, Jen Psaki, praise their Administration’s actions and try to convince American Citizens that leaders around the World support this decision, former Commander of British Troops in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, spoke out specifically on the effects this decision will have on NATO.
“President Biden has just completely destroyed it’s (NATO’s) credibility. Totally destroyed it, single-handedly. What we face now is a terrorist threat coming out of Afghanistan that is greater than the terrorist threat before 911.”
He added, “People have been talking about impeaching President Biden. I don’t believe President Biden should be impeached. He’s the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, who’s just essentially surrendered to the Taliban. He shouldn’t be impeached. He should be court-martialed for betraying the United States of America and the United States Armed Forces.”
President Trump implied that Joe Biden’s decision lacked intelligence and common sense. “Leaving our Military till the end was such a simple decision that anyone with intelligence and common sense would have made.”
If the Democrat’s goal was really to keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, wouldn’t Taliban fighters be at the top of that list?
New data reveals just how much danger the Biden Administration has put American Citizens in. In an effort to save face, Pentagon Press Secretary, John Kirby, said some equipment was destroyed. However, new photos of Taliban fighters using American weaponry is surfacing every day. It is unclear exactly how many weapons have fallen into the hands of the Taliban, but according to the Hill, even the Biden Administration has acknowledged it’s a “fair amount.”
So while Democrats are trying desperately to disarm American Citizens, they are simultaneously arming foreign terrorists to the teeth and beyond. Is this sheer incompetence or something else?
It will take articulate strategy and extreme force to repair the damage Joe Biden and his Administration have done. The effects the World will endure as a result of this colossal failure will be felt decades, possibly centuries into the future.
The Afghanistan debacle also reveals the left-wing gun hypocrisy here at home. Isn’t it interesting how we don’t see Shannon Watts and her angry mob of gun-grabbing misfits pleading to get “actual” weapons of war out of the hands of real Terrorists? This, even at a time when those weapons are pointed directly at defenseless, fellow Americans immediately after their “President” has abandoned them. Instead, Everytown is ramping up articles painting lawful, American gun-owners as Terrorists. The shameful behavior of these anti-American groups never seems to reach its pinnacle and the incompetence of this Administration is likely to result in the loss of American lives.
The 2nd Amendment is not a privilege. It’s your right.

One word: Napalm
Everything has been said. I still have the question where are the a-hole REPUBLICANS!!!!!!
Most of it will end up in Iran
I’m sure the Blackhawks will wind up in China where they’ll look at all of the advanced avionics (stuff like automated flight control, integrated self defense, navigation systems, computerized engine monitoring systems, etc.).
The Blackhawks sent to Afghanistan were all UH-60A’s. The oldest model and a version US forces no longer use. Even the National Guard has gotten rid of them and moved on to newer models. As for the avionics, very little of it (if any) is our latest and greatest stuff. It is mostly older stuff like the airframe itself.
It wasn’t left behind it was a gift to them.
Because diplomatic containers cant be opened. It makes shipping children in exchange for stingers a lot easier.
I wonder if they could ship a few million rounds of 9 mm and 5.56 back to us. No wonder we have an ammo shortage here.
Make the left wear this.
If you think that this hand over to the Taliban and Isis was all an “accident,” then you need another vaccine.
Its a consistent policy of the CRT Dems in helping Islam to conquer. It began back in 2008 when Obama gave his speech to the Egyptian Parliament, apologizing for America’s colonial past.
Then Obama later insisted via his control of rules of engagement in the battle against Isis, that all bombing targets be published in advance. Result: Isis chained hostages to each bombing target and thousands of hostages were killed, many of them Kurds, Christians and Yazidhis.
Who controls Joe Biden? Simple Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett via Suasan Rice.
Now Joe “fumbles” to hand 6 billion dollars worth of ordinance to the Taliban, Isis, Russia and Red China.This was done on purpose. It was a grift. The smell of Obama is all over this Muslim supporting outcome.Same smell as Arab Spring, Benghazi and the faisco in Egypt where a crowd of Muslim men assaulted Lara Logan.
If this grift truth is published widely, the Dems will be swept from office unless the Dem Mafia election cheat happens again like it did with PDJT.
What a collection of treasonous bastids are the Dems. HORRIBLE.
And the Dems are trying to spin out of it holding no one accountable, while previously attempting to impeach PDJT for a phone call? And Joe allows a pipeline to Russia while abandoning European energy independence from Russia?
Joe and Susan Rice wand to re-imagine America into a nightmare. You are seeing where this is going now.The Dems want ultimate, complete, uncontested power based on the ideology they espouse. America is hated by the Dems, ostensibly it is a colonial White Supremacist power and in the eyes of Dems, the exit from Afghanistan is not only to end America’s so called colonial adventures, but to leave the Muslim plantation full of weapons in case a “colonial power” tries to re-enter Afghanistan. We have lorded it over brown , black and yellow people for far too long according to Obama, Susan Rice, Kamala Harris and Biden!
Welcome to the world of CRT foreign policy folks. Welcome to the “New AMERICA! “ Thank our lucky stars Joe Biden has ended the “colonial era” of America!( sarc.)
Biden just single-handedly created the best equipped terrorist organization in history.
There you go, in a nutshell.
I hope someone in the military is planning on destroying all that hardware, no matter what it takes. Drones, midnight strikes ???
from India Today, a helpful video description of the equipment the Taliban have acquired...also includes that donated by India in 2019 that's not on your list.
India Today - Taliban new military equipment">
Can we assume that critical spares and maintenance tools and ancillary support equipment are included in the booty list?
