House Republicans sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday, asking for a briefing about how closely the Department of Defense is monitoring the flow of U.S. weaponry to Hamas and used in their terrorist onslaught against key ally Israel, the Washington Examiner reported.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., they ask Austin to appear on Capitol Hill next Monday amid reports that U.S. arms are making their way into the hands of terrorists from Afghanistan and the battlefields in Ukraine.

"The Committee has seen reports that U.S.-manufactured weapons are being redistributed and resold in secondary markets to terrorist organizations, including Hamas," Comer and Greene wrote, according to the Examiner.

...

Further, a Ukraine defense official said weeks ago that Russia was supplying Hamas with U.S. trophy weapons, confiscated from battles with Ukrainian forces, as a way to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of its western allies.

...

According to a Pentagon report, the U.S. left behind $7.12 billion in military equipment in what was heavily criticized as Biden's hurried, blundered and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. The U.S. bequeathed it to Afghan National Defense and Security Forces in a country controlled by the Taliban, turning that terrorist organization into arms dealers.

Even if the House Republicans got verified answers that the weapons Traitorjoe left in Afghanistan made their way to Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the ChiComs or the Russkies, the Republicans would do absolutely nothing about it (other than sending a strongly worded letter to the White House).

Yep, over 7 billion left in the hands of Obama’s brethren, another 9 billion gifted to the Iranians... It adds up in a hurry... All part of a greater democratic program.

All brought to Americans by the death to America crowd in Washington.

Military preparedness at an all time low. Strategic reserve is empty. Inventory of munitions is drawn down. Nation being morally and financially bankrupted.

All part of a larger plan.
