On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) stated that the drone strike against ISIS-K isn’t going to stop further attacks and warned that ISIS-K will end up in possession of U.S. military equipment and use it in “a much more lethal and dangerous way than the Taliban would ever use it.”

Bank stated, “We would be naïve to believe that this one drone strike on an ISIS planner — which, by the way, was successful, and I’m glad he was killed — is going to stop more attacks like what we saw this week. And this is what we have to be prepared for. I mean, the situation on the ground is dangerous. It’s going to — it’s growing in danger.”

He added, “[T]he Taliban is a Mickey Mouse organization compared to ISIS-K. So, you can bet, right now, that all of this equipment is going to end up, not just in the hands of the Taliban, but that ISIS-K is going to obtain it at some point, and they’re going to use it in a much more lethal and dangerous way than the Taliban would ever use it.”

The end of WWI was considered the "War to end all Wars". More wars happened after that. Now the Dems said Afghanistan is the War to end all Wars," Make that the WTEAW II. Because of the debacle in Afghanistan, there would be more wars since we left $82 billion worth of military goods there and the Afghan or ISIS will be emboldened to use them.

We just outfitted and armored an Islamic Army. Watch for a coalition of Islamic nations to join them for a push to solve the Jewish / Palestinian problem (Turkey, Iran, Libya, Pakistan, etc.)

My liberal friends are spewing the nonsense that this is the cost of war -that it cost too much to bring it home -they won’t be able to get spare parts - blah blah blah.
This is so incredibly bizarre what we left behind.

I head one of Bidens’ Peacock Generals talking about all the Materiel that was ‘decommissioned’. From what I heard it was way less than 1% of the totals, I have been hearing. Example; less than 200 Humvees out of the thousands left.

The dollar amount of equipment we left there exceeds the annual military budget of every country except for the US’s and China’s.

We need air strikes/drones roaming the skies ‘killing’ as much of those helicopters, armored vehicles, humvees as can be found. Add any ammunition, artillery stores.
