American weapons left behind in Afghanistan amid chaotic withdrawal

Black Hawk helicopters, A-29 Super Tocano bombers, armoured Humvees, drones and night vision goggles are among the billions of dollars worth of US military weaponry that has reportedly been seized by the Taliban.

Images of Taliban fighters posing with M4 carbines and M16 rifles and opening crates of firearms, drones and night-vision goggles are circulating in the media, part of a propaganda victory as the militant group tries to establish their credentials as a legitimate governing force.

A US official told Reuters on Thursday that the Taliban were believed to have taken possession of more than 2,000 armoured vehicles and up to 40 aircraft, potentially including UH-60 Black Hawks, scout attack helicopters, and ScanEagle military drones.

“Everything that hasn’t been destroyed is the Taliban’s now,” an unnamed US official told Reuters.

I understand that a leader must have a great sense of humor, but what you wrote above is correct. This is no laughing matter... there comes a time where you don't laugh, and you sure as hell don't cackle. People are dying.

This was yesterday and it was disgusting imo:

Like its all fun and games.

In her defense she's not a "leader" by any stretch of the imagination. She is one bad day from from breaking out in a sustained cackle and being lead away by men in white coats. She makes Dan Quayle look like a Founding father.

I am shamelessly re-posting this post below from Oct 2020. Just sayin, some things are foreseeable. "Punch-drunk" has always been and remains the operative word for me when it comes to Kamala. Not getting any better over time.

HUNTER'S CRACK PIPE LIVES ON AND HAS BEEN RECYCLED!!!!

Did this woman bring one single extra vote to the dem ticket??

Probably this is so bad y'all will bail out before the end, but if you don't, check out the "crowd" there. What the hell is she doing? Just snorting and cackling while people are trying to shop for cars or something?

As I say rather regularly, and from very, very early on, "people always talk about Joe and his dementia but Kamala always seems totally punch drunk to me." Willy clearly bonked her brains out.

Biden just ordered the military to pull out of Kabul. Even the embassy staff isn't out. The exact number of US citizens and Afghan allies isn't known but its in the thousands.

Joe is literally leaving them behind. There have been a couple of small extraction missions apparently but very small numbers, something like 60 people.

So... exactly where will rescue teams fly in from if not from Kabul or Bagram?

To be fair, Joe had almost a week to save himself, his administration and a lot of Americans but doesn't have the will or ability to oppose the Taliban even a little.

Now how about a nice hot cup of capitulation?

We’ll be bombing that equipment for months. They’re not just going to be allowed to keep it.

Taliban already warned Joe Biden that there will be no extensions to the August 31 deadline. 15,000 Americans still in Afghanistan are in grave danger of being killed. The women will end up being raped and made wives of Taliban fighters as the ISIS fighters did to the Yazidi women in Iraq. To think a sizable number of Americans voted for Joe Biden? How is that working for you extreme liberals?

I doubt that.
They're not stupid, they'll surround that equipment with women and children 24/7.
We could do it now maybe, but odds are we'd kill some Tali's, and Biden can't risk an escalation obviously.
Nope... it's theirs to keep.

Some of the liberals here seem to have a problem understanding what Baiden has done, so let me explain in way you can understand:

Baiden crapped his bed and then tried to clean things up by kicking the turd out from under the covers... and he hasn't stopped.

It's a real shit show!

Really? Bomb them with what? We can't very well bomb them if we're leaving now can we? Are we leaving, or staying? Which of their lies do you choose to believe?
