Vladimir Putin plans to seize US weapons left behind during the evacuation of Afghanistan.

In return, Putin wants US equipment snatched from Afghanistan by the Taliban to be handed over - according to Telegram channel General SVR - which claims to be fed information by a Kremlin insider.

Taliban want cash. We knew they’d sell them to someone

What is he going to get, that he didn’t get when we withdrew from Afghanistan?

He’s got to defeat them first. Hard to seize anything when you’re running for your lives.

He can probably buy the plans from Fang Fang if the CCP will allow the share. But that doesn’t mean he can build them.

Where is he going to get advanced electronics from?

My last job I met a lot of Afghans who were helping Americans prior to Biden’s F-up and manage to escaped.

And I thought I couldn’t stand Biden!!!

I think Putin should just roll right into Afghanistan and take what's rightfully his. Meanwhile I'm going to see if I have another microwave popcorn with realistic theater butter flavor that causes cancer in laboratory animals according to the state of California.

I am from the Russian government and I am here to help you. First, give me all your weapons.

Can’t make this stuff up.

Why wouldn’t Putin buy them on the cheap? We had a disastrous, humiliating bug-out and left our toys behind for whomever can grab them.

What is hilarious is that the screeching Zeepers think that Biden is going to do any better in the Ukraine War.

Those weapons would be better off in the hands of Vladimir Putin than in the Taliban.

His handlers are running the show. The old tired democrats made a deal with the crazy wokestets... Biden got the old school democrat vote..the woke fascists got the brainwashed wokester vote. In return for one last grifter session, Biden gave the wokesters free reign. Now the Taliban and Russians can know and destroy our weapons in combat.

Afghanistan was just the warmup exercise to the bidAn’s implosion.

Ukraine is up now.

Taiwan is on deck.

Most of the hardware left in Afghanistan was junk. Even the serviceable stuff was primarily older configurations. The helicopters were UH-60A’s which we have not flown for years and they did not have any sensitive avionics.
