The day after a defiant Joe Biden deemed his Afghanistan exit a "success" - the Taliban did a little celebrating of their own, holding a 'victory' parade in the streets of Kabul featuring the Taliban army's new 'toys'.
"The Taliban Wednesday paraded some of the military hardware they captured during their takeover of Afghanistan," AFP wrote in confirming the spectacle that mocked the whole US debacle of a twenty year occupation that ended in handing over billions of dollars in military equipment.

The parade even included a helicopter flying over a long line of Humvees decked out with the white and black Taliban flags.
An AFP journalist observed that "a long line of green Humvees and armored fighting vehicles drove in single file along a highway outside Kandahar -- the spiritual birthplace of the militant movement -- many with white-and-black Taliban flags attached to aerials...".

And more:
At least one Black Hawk helicopter has been seen flying over Kandahar in recent days, suggesting someone from the former Afghan army was at the controls as the Taliban lack pilots.

Starting weeks ago as Taliban militants began capturing base after base and easily steamrolled major cities across the country with little resistance, it became clear they were putting their newly acquired expensive American and NATO equipment to use, given they began taking cities in the south while riding in on Humvees and armored battle vehicles.

They've also positively invited journalists to document their treasure, losing no moment to show the cameras what the Americans left behind, in a constant insult to injury message to Washington and the West.
During his speech on Tuesday, President Biden hailed the US exit and evacuation efforts an "extraordinary success". He said, "No nation has ever done anything like it in all of history; only the United States had the capacity and the will and ability to do it." In a deeply ironic, twisted, and tragic sense... this statement is true, just not at all in the way the president thinks.
The Biden administration legacy in a nutshell.
This is what BOTH parties cheated Trump out to get.
Dressed in U.S. uniforms? Just that instant of hesitation will get folks killed. “Are those our guys?” Too late.
The Democrats must be Proud , Nancy probably told the Military to leave those Weapons of war there
I’m honestly shocked these inbred savages know how to pilot a helicopter.
Thanks Uncle Joe!
RE: I’m honestly shocked these inbred savages know how to pilot a helicopter.
It is very dangerous to underestimate the capabilities of the enemy ( that’s EXACTLY what Joe Biden did ).
This is where you send in the A-10s and Apaches to strafe the shit out of this.
Why must Fed.gov be so predictable?
Yeah, we’re gone, but not forgotten.
A couple A-10’s would clean that up.
> Thanks Uncle Joe! <
Don’t forget Bush. Bush moved all that equipment over there. Biden just gave it away.
An Iranian pilot I’m sure....
This is the democrats version of winning a war.
And we sent some bunker busters on the parade right. Biteme? Did Biteme get a kickback in his china account.
Must be.
The retards tried to ride on top of a C-17...
rumble version for those of you that don’t want to click twitter

They’ll pay Chinese or Pakis to maintain it I’d wager
Would have been a great time to drone them.
Well, now, I distinctly remember one of the #JihadJunta Military Attaches saying that they disabled the equipment? Looks darn fine to me! Lying S’s of S!!!
Imagine for a moment you’re a Muslim youth living in the West. Maybe you live in the UK, or in Germany, or in the United States. You’ve got to be impressed by these pictures. You’ve got to think that the future belongs to Islam.
And maybe you’re now more motivated than ever to kill infidels.
This is yet another long-term effect of the fall of Afghanistan.
