The Taliban has seized scores of American weapons and military equipment from Afghan security forces as the terrorist group accelerates its takeover following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country.
Taliban terrorists are now in possession of U.S.-made military vehicles, anti-aircraft guns, armored tanks, and artillery. The munitions were provided to Afghan security forces to secure the country as the United States ends its two-decade war there. The Taliban have overwhelmed Afghan forces, taking over key Afghan provinces and using U.S. weapons to power the offensive.
“These captured systems will increase the mobility and lethality of the Taliban, making them a more formidable adversary,” said Bradley Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “We have already seen the Taliban using captured humvees to patrol Kunduz and Sar-e Pol.” More
And, right in cue. Biden blames Trump:

Obama playbook anyone? Deja vu?
Obama’s first term: Blamed Bush
Obama’s second term: Blamed Congress
Trump’s first term: Obama takes credit.
Think about that.
Too bad it was the armored tanks the talibums got. It wouldn’t be so bad if we’d left them the unarmored ones.
Sounds like an insurrection…
“If you can’t overpower the simpleton biden* administration then you aint black…”
“Biden’s Chaotic Afghanistan Withdrawal Is Arming The Taliban”
Just as planned, albeit, not by Biden.
I’m convinced Biden is not calling the shots. Whoever it is is sharp as a marble
@Uncle Al – “…It wouldn’t be so bad if we’d left them the unarmored ones…”
The Bitme administration is too incompetent to think of that, or booby trapping the other equipment left behind. No. They just turned tail and cut and ran. Just like the woke communists running the military wanted.
Remember that mine collapse in 1876 in Nevada that killed 97 men? Trumps fault. And when Apollo 13 was almost lost? Trump again.
DOOCY: “WHO’S IN CHARGE, JEN?”
PSAKI: “JOEBAMA..UH, ER..”
I think it’s clear, China told Soros for us to leave Afghanistan pronto, soros told Jarrett, and we high tailed it out of there. We have so many TRAITOROUS BASTARDS in our government I don’t see a way out of this.
“We have so many TRAITOROUS BASTARDS in our government I don’t see a way out of this….”
Our only way out is seccession.
Vietnam redux.
Is that takeover any different than the demoncrat thugs take over of the U.S? Letting prisoners go; antifa; BLm, capitulate or die? Wear the burka:wear the muzzle?
“Overwhelmed …” ? The U.S. trained Afg forces dropped their shit and ran like hell . The hardware was left for them to finally fend for themselves . Daddy Greenbacks done left the building and took his troops with him . That country and others are like it are an like 8th grade game of “king of the hill” or “smear the queer” . The media can scramble this egg 15 ways to Sunday , ain’t no nation building in countries like that , it is over..gone..good riddance . Let them have it , waste of time , money , and U.S. lives . Later Taters , have at it ….
Biden commented a month or so ago that there were 300,000 Afghan armed forces and 75,000 Taliban. I guess the ‘underdog’ was a bit more motivated.
Sure the Taliban is getting armed, but now you can sell them parts for all the Tanks & APC, & Humvees.
Biden’s plan to resurrect the manufacturing sector.
ELECTION FRAUD HAS CONSEQUENCES…
It’s the Full Catastrophe, and it’s going to get worse.
Come on, anybody who doesn’t see the pattern, doesn’t want to. We invade the country and destroy infrastructure, send in contractors and pay them top dollar to rebuild said infrastructure. Start a hasty retreat allowing enemy forces to re-arm themselves with equipment we leave behind that insures that we must return troops and more with more equipment. This is all just propping up the war machine, the military industrial complex’s forever war economics.
Well, the poppy fields are secure, there is that.
All is going according to the plan of whoever’s hand is up the sock puppets butt.
A retreating force takes its weapons or spikes them if it must leave them behind. A defeated enemy leaves its weapons in the field.
Without spare parts and competent maintenance, those vehicles won’t be operational for long.
Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
Assuming this wasn’t the desired result would be your first mistake.
Besides, we armed the Taliban back in the 80’s, when they were fighting the Russians.
Some things never change
