A report from Fox News back in 2021 highlighted the scope of the crisis unfolding in Afghanistan as the Taliban took control of 75,000 US vehicles, 200 US aircraft, 600,000 US weapons, and $85 billion in military funding.
This is like Obama’s Fast and Furious gun-running scandal on steroids.
Today the Taliban is patrolling the streets of Kabul in US humvees.
The big story might be the pallets of cash the Taliban have been posting videos of pallets of weapons and stacks of $100 bills they have seized.
Here is a more complete list of US equipment now controlled by the Taliban:
-2,000 Armored Vehicles Including Humvees and MRAP’s -75,989 Total Vehicles: FMTV, M35, Ford Rangers, Ford F350, Ford Vans, Toyota Pickups, Armored Security Vehicles etc -45 UH-60 Blachhawk Helicopters -50 MD530G Scout Attack Choppers -ScanEagle Military Drones -30 Military Version Cessnas -4 C-130’s -29 Brazilian made A-29 Super Tocano Ground Attack Aircraft 208+ Aircraft Total -At least 600,000+ Small arms M16, M249 SAWs, M24 Sniper Systems, 50 Calibers, 1,394 M203 Grenade Launchers, M134 Mini Gun, 20mm Gatling Guns and Ammunition -61,000 M203 Rounds -20,040 Grenades -Howitzers -Mortars +1,000’s of Rounds -162,000 pieces of Encrypted Military Comunications Gear -16,000+ Night Vision Goggles -Newest Technology Night Vision Scopes -Thermal Scopes and Thermal Mono Googles -10,000 2.75 inch Air to Ground Rockets -Recconaissance Equipment (ISR) -Laser Aiming Units -Explosives Ordnance C-4, Semtex, Detonators, Shaped Charges, Thermite, Incendiaries, AP/API/APIT -2,520 Bombs -Administration Encrypted Cell Phones and Laptops all operational -Pallets with Millions of Dollars in US Currency -Millions of Rounds of Ammunition including but not limited to 20,150,600 rounds of 7.62mm, 9,000,000 rounds of 50.caliber -Large Stockpile of Plate Carriers and Body Armor -US Military HIIDE, for Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment Biometrics -Lots of Heavy Equipment Including Bull Dozers, Backhoes, Dump Trucks, Excavators
Much of the information included in the above list is public record.
And now there are reports that US weapons abandoned in Afghanistan are showing up in other war zones.
US weapons abandoned in Afghanistan are turning up in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Now this…
Joe Biden forced US troops to stand down even when checkpoints were attacked in Afghanistan.
Via investigative reporter Paul Sperry:
"And Joe Biden is hiding the side deals he made with the Taliban before the calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan."
Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ · BREAKING: Biden made US troops in Afghanistan coordinate w/ his envoy Khalilzad on how & when they could engage with the Taliban enemy. Troops were not allowed to engage even when checkpoints attacked. In Doha, Khalilzad brokered withdrawal w/ the Taliban 5 Obama freed from Gitmo 12:41 PM · Mar 1, 2023

“[T]he Taliban Five sat across the negotiating table from Biden’s envoy to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, where they participated as key members of the official Taliban delegation who negotiated the final terms of the US withdrawal.”
Looks like my nikname for Joe is spot on
TalyO’biden
Spit.
10% for the big guy!
It doesn’t seem like equipment that Russia requires or can use. With maybe a few minor exceptions.
Don’t forget a pallet of hundreds for Joe Bribeim.
I’m sure the crooked DOJ FBI will get right on that and enforce the law against their buddy
WHOA - bump for later... thanks for the ping.
The Corvette did it!!!
C’mon man!!!
Great! Now the US will have armed both sides inthe war.
Since it is really the Obama / Biden Regime currently in power, none of this is a surprise. Biden has been a fool and a creep his entire life. He witnessed how the Clinton Crime Syndicate gathered billions of dollars, while breaking any law they wanted. Obama and company could care less about anything other than themselves. SloJo Biden was always a bumbling fool, and there is no one to hide behind any longer.
Furthermore, the Afghan disaster was also part of a plan to both lure and coerce Putin into attacking Ukraine.
The lure was perception that America was run by weak, senile old man who was giving Putin the wink and nod to move forward and the coercion was the US State Dept falsely spreading the word that Ukraine was on a fast track to NATO membership.
NATO membership for Ukraine is and always has been a red line the Russians have warned is unacceptable.
There was no question that buggering out and leaving intact equipment had been intentional. The US could have taken its sweet time to ensure all equipment left behind was inoperable if they wanted to.
Somebody gave the order to leave the equipment operable.

Feel sorry for the dogs that were left behind. I have no doubt that they suffered terribly.
Woohoo!
World War III!!

Jobama.
This has Soetoro’s fingerprints all over it. The brain-dead pedophile now has no IQ, so Barky “the muzzard” issues the directives and The Vegetable gets to give the orders...and then wear it.
Kenya dig it?
