Pictures of Taliban fighters waving American M4 carbines and M16 rifles in military Humvee jeeps will give you a sarcastic grin, but the White House is no laughing matter. The United States lost the 20 Years War. And comparisons with the Vietnam War are inevitable. But the situation is even worse now.
Afghanistan has become a disgrace to the Biden administration and the Pentagon in a matter of months. And the point is not only that the Americans fled in haste and panic - never before in wars did the enemy receive such a huge arsenal of the defeated without a fight. The Taliban easily seized tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons, military equipment, and equipment left by the United States in Afghanistan. And now footage of bearded men flaunting near the Black Hawk helicopters will pursue Biden throughout his cadence. It’s not even about the undermined prestige of the United States as a world superpower, although this cannot be avoided. The point is that America in an instant armed the Taliban regime better than most armies in the world is equipped.
Congressman Jim Banks said there are 75,000 vehicles, 200 aircraft and helicopters, and 600,000 small arms and light weapons among the vast amount of equipment and weapons left behind in Afghanistan.
Of course, Banks is exaggerating. Some of the equipment was removed by the Americans, some were destroyed, some left along with those soldiers of the Afghan army who did not surrender and went to Panjshir to resist. But all the same, these numbers are amazing. Compare the scale: the United States handed over about 300 Hummers to Ukraine, and there are 22,000 of them left in Afghanistan!
The American media has already estimated that every US citizen has donated $ 265 to replenish ... (continued)

“...But a few years ago, so that technology would not fall into the hands of the enemy, the Americans carried out special operations to destroy their modern helicopters that fell in Pakistan and Afghanistan. And today they voluntarily left them intact.
Today, the Taliban have flooded the Internet with videos of American trophies left behind. This is done for the purpose of propaganda - units in turbans walking in Afghan cities, armed to the teeth with American weapons, intensify criticism of the Biden administration’s decision to withdraw troops. Arrows are being fired at Biden from the capitals of the US allies, and the American media are simply destroying their president for such an escape. This is despite the fact that the American society as a whole has a negative attitude towards the American presence in the Asian country.
The Taliban’s victory and armament inspire other jihadist and radical Islamist groups to resist America. And the countries - neighbors of Afghanistan, against the background of the threat, will strengthen ties with Moscow and Beijing for the sake of their own security.”
The shadow government wanted it ti happen?
The Taliban are very good with money.
The Bilderberg Group is getting their money’s worth.
Well they sure don’t spend it on fashion and personal hygiene
This was 100% deliberate. This is what happens when domestic enemies of the United states are allowed to fix a US Presidential election. Blatant hardcore treason by a punk who was exposed as taking foreign bribes and incredibly nothing was done about it, but now people are outraged?
Remember Michael Moore said in “Fahrenheit 9/11” that we went into Afghanistan after 9/11 over an oil pipeline?
I somehow doubt that...
Was that pipeline ever built?
There’s still no pipeline 20 years later, but maybe the Chinese will build it.
“..but now people are outraged”
Here in my house is a good example of “white rage.”
This is a GREAT VICTORY for the Motherland!
Leader Biden's Grand Rescue was a smashing, patriotic success, in spite of horrible, traitorous obstacles put in place by the disgraced Orange Man! Hurrah!
That is what the left -- eschoed by its media whores -- said all day today on Twitter, and probably elsehwhere.
“...the Chinese will build it.”
The Chinese are building an intercontinental highway, I am not certain of it’s routing, but China shares a border with Afghanistan.
If it walks like a duck etc. - it’s a duck.
It happened because we have, apparently, thousands of powerful traitors in positions of power in this country. Political leaders, judges, governors, senators, secretaries of state, assemblyman, and the military. We are overwhelmed with traitors. It’s the only believable explanation I have.
They aren’t all traitors. They don’t have to be. But there are thousands as far as I can tell. They stole the election and are busily dismantling the country.
Its seems the military-industrial complex and their deep-state partners have only ever sent arms in one direction. They are expected to go out, but never return. The money is already spent, so no one cares about repatriation or re-use.
If more helicopters, guns or missiles are needed, they’ll just print more money, issue more contracts and manufacture more.
How has that fat f*** not had a coronary yet?
“....arms in one direction...”
I read somewhere that the stockpile of military equipment and weapons was continually be built up well after April. Knowing we were leaving someone was still adding to the inventory.
Intel had already made it clear that without the Trump agreement, Taliban was taking over.
Was a matter of stupidity, or planned treasonous event to supply the enemy.
“Why it happened?”
1. Biden and his cronies wanted to arm the Taliban as a form of reparations?
2. More terrorist attacks on the US will justify giving even more power to federal law enforcement?
Next thing you know, PBS will introduce a couple of new puppets on Sesame Street called the “Taliban Twins”.
