Taliban Celebrates Third Anniversary of Defeating America

Video: This is disgusting.

The Taliban held a MILITARY PARADE with the equipment that the UNITED STATES left during the horrific withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Biden’s disastrous retreat from Afghanistan has left our enemies with the impression that they defeated America. On the third anniversary of America’s withdrawal, the Taliban hosted a massive parade touting the billions worth of military equipment left behind by Biden and Harris.

Riding on American military Humvees with American military helicopters above, the terrorists began the 40-kilometer parade in Bagram. Thousands of men showed up to watch top Taliban leaders speak of their victory over America. A 21-gun salute was held after the parade reached the capital of Kabul.

Video: Bash: “Joe Biden just made a really big decision—Afghanistan—were you the last person in the room?”

Kamala: “Yes.”

Bash: “And you feel comfortable?”

Kamala: “I do.”

We lost 13 American soldiers due to her ineptitude!

The Biden-Harris administration left our allies and troops behind to die. The disastrous move resulted in the deaths of 13 US troops and 170 allied Afghans who were killed in a suicide bombing.

All the blame has been placed on Joe Biden, but his second-in-command takes pride in being the final person in the room on the day the decision was made to surrender to the Taliban.

Believe it or not, the Taliban have stolen weapons that were given to the army and police forces by the United States. Some believe they bribed people for that access. They have stormed government offices and arrested officials and killed many. They stormed the prisons, released everyone, and seized all the American weapons provided to the government. However, sources were also saying that the Taliban were also getting weapons “donated” to them from Iran in its proxy war against the United States. Additionally, there were claims that weapons were also being smuggled in from Russia via Tajikistan.

How many Americans has the Taliban killed through the illegal drug trade? They are now the world’s top producer of methamphetamine. Effectively cut off from international trade and the broader world economy, the Taliban is likely to allow the drug trade to flourish. Around 80% of the world’s supply of opium comes from Afghanistan, and numerous farmers have told reporters that drug-related harvests are the only lucrative crops for them to plant. An informant told the BBC that a kilogram of heroin produced from opium would cost around $66,000 in Britain. Bilal Karimi, a Taliban spokesman, told the BBC that they could not take away opium cultivation from the Afghans until they found “an alternative.”

What message did this utter failure give to our enemies? China had been secretly negotiating with the Taliban to take over the huge American Air Force base near Kabul. In fact, it is the largest American facility in all of Afghanistan. Biden left behind $83 billion worth of American technology. You just can’t make up this stuff. They can reverse-engineer everything at this point. I’m sure Biden saw them as complying with his COVID rule of wear masks, so he left them a huge present of $83 billion because they can just raise your taxes for that.

Overall, the median lifetime earnings for all American workers are $1.7 million, which is just under $42,000 per year ($20 per hour). That is over 42,000 people’s entire life savings that Biden just left behind. Then the Democrats want to raise taxes even more?

Countless veterans have expressed their disgust over what happened in Afghanistan. They risked their lives and watched friends die for a cause they believed in. Then, the commander-in-chief told everyone to surrender and leave. This undoubtedly has aided the low recruitment numbers for the US military.

Now, we have students across campuses in America protesting on behalf of other terrorist groups. We allow it to happen and fail to prosecute them when they break the law as there is no law and order in America under Biden-Harris.

The terrorists are mocking America. We have emboldened them with a newfound confidence to make them believe they can defeat the strongest military in the world. The entire world is watching and taking notes.

It is (so to speak) the Taliban Fourth of July.

Of course they celebrate.

Stopped clock, the crook is actually right for once.

But he’s still a thief and a fraud.

Afghanistan has survived invasions by all prior empires by using the porcupine’s strategy. Yes, the bear could kill the porcupine, but eventually gives up after suffering multiple quills. I hope the Chinese decide to take a crack at them next.

Biden botched the withdrawal. What could have been an orderly withdrawal turned into something tragic and humiliating. That’s on him.

But the ultimate blame for the fiasco goes to George W Bush. He set the stage. Just as Vietnam belongs to LBJ.

To be honest with you, Obama should have pulled out of Afghanistan one year after the assassination of bin Laden. To me, it was mission accomplished.

President Trump had the correct strategy, which included keeping Bagram.

Biden insured this with his actions. China owns Biden. Much easier to defeat a country by purchasing corrupt leaders than by military action.

Biden reminds me of a scene from a movie, He craps his pants, then yells..”THOSE WHO WISH TO SAVE THEMSELVES....FOLLOW ME!” and runs for the exit letting the devil take the hinder most.

For those interested in the movie, it was Marcus A. Reno, in the made-for-TV movie Son of Morning Star, at Custer’s defeat.

So has Russia, yes.
Napoleon and Hitler learned the hard way.

The Rus have a great ally that they call General Winter.

Russians also have a “cursed capacity for suffering.”
