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

Kremlin insider claims that the Russian despot is in negotiations with the Taliban to recognise the nation's government.

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.

“...I do consider zelensky an enemy of the American people.”

Indeed. Zelensky, the Biden Family, Obama, the FBI, CIA, DNC, RINOs and the media are all enemies of the American people.

Yup... We could hand a few hundred F22s and F35s over to Vlad too.

I do not believe this for a second. “a Russian insider” is just an anonymous source which means this is BS.

I agree the Russians have had access to everything we left the day after we departed. I am sure China and Iran also got samples. The only thing I am not sure of is whether the big guy got his 10% from the Taliban.

The Afghanistan withdrawal wasn’t enough for the neocons at National Review and the Wall Street Journal to end their support for Biden after attacking Trump for his foreign policy.

Yep. I can’t blame Putin either. If I were him I’d bribe the Taliban with recognition and money for those stockpiles we left behind when we surrendered and retreated like cowards. The hilarious part is Biden’s incompetent administration crying that they had peer reviewed evidence that we had several months before the Taliban would conquer and the media comfort hugging them.

“What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!”

(i.e., if the US and Germany can send advanced tanks to Ukraine, Russia can seize advanced US weapons from Afghanistan and use them in the Ukraine war.)

But negotiating peace is a lot better!!!!

Can’t blame them for trying. Look at the way the Congress and Zeepers jump at every rumor they like.

“..so the Ukraine war is turning into “fruits of Biden incompetence” vs. “fruits of Biden corruption”....just amazing....”

The pedoPIG is exactly like a 500lb wild feral boar hog turned loose in a fine china shop. No matter which direction it turns, it greatly smashes things. Just amazing is right!!!!

60+ posts and no one has asked the most important question.

If Russia is winning the war, why do they need all of this equipment?

Here's some more questions nobody seems interested in:

What spares are going to be provided?

Who is going to provide the training? Iran? Taliban? China?

Afghanistan is a landlocked country. How will this equipment be shipped?

How much will Iran charge for overflight or land shipment?

Taliban are cash starved. Everything that is sellable has probably already been sold...most likely to Iran or China.

I'm sure you would like these questions to be answered.

People have absolutely no idea how close we are to igniting WWII. (World War II?) Is this WW II.2? No, this will be WW III. This one we could well lose! This will be fought here—not over there. If they get us in a first strike—we could well be forced to give up before it even starts. Russia get Alaska (and her oil), China gets Guam and Hawaii is made a “free” independent kingdom under Chinese Protection. Ireland gets the North, Cuba gets Guantanamo Bay, Puerto Rico gets independence. The map changes. In the end there will be no statues of Biden in the USA.

“Telegram channel General SVR”..... is spreading wild, unproven claims about the Kremlin’s inner workings”

The channel is a striking example of the wild media ecosystem .Gruesome videos and eye-catching claims abound, reaching audiences often with little evidence or context. Some inevitably spills over into established media reporting.

General SVR is sometimes referred to by the pseudonym “Viktor Mikhailovich,” but nobody knows for sure who exactly is behind the account.
Since its inception, the account has pumped out a steady stream of unevidenced claims about the Kremlin’s inner workings and Putin’s allegedly failing health.

Aric Toler, of the respected investigative outfit Bellingcat, told his Twitter followers in May to “ignore everything coming from” the account.

Seize the weapons? It sounds to me like he’s buying them from their current owners.

I guess we’ll found out how good US military equipment is against military equipment.
