The Biden administration is reportedly considering launching strikes against some of the larger pieces of U.S. Military equipment that were abandoned in Afghanistan, and have been subsequently seized by extremists, after Democrat President Joe Biden decided to pull out from the nation.“The Biden administration is considering launching airstrikes against the larger equipment,” Axios reported. “They also fear that such a move could provoke the Taliban at a time where the U.S. is focusing on evacuating people from Afghanistan.”

A little late for that, I am sure it has all been moved by now. Or, he just tipped his hand to give them time to do so.
Biden did this intentionally, he wants to arm and let loose our enemies.
Traitor.

I call bullshit here. No way Xiden or his woketard military has the balls for this, even if they still had the airpower to do it in country, which we don't. We would most likely have to launch Alpha strikes from the Reagan, and there is so much of it that you would never get but a fraction.
The equipment should have been destroyed on the ground before we pulled out.
The minute you start bombing, the Tollybon will attack the airport and the bloodbath will be immense.

When action is required, you don't twiddle and consider. My personal view.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan admitted that the Taliban seized “certainly a fair amount of” the U.S. equipment left in Afghanistan, adding, “we don’t have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.”
But there is the naive notion that maybe, maybe they might hand some over if we say pretty-please.

Agree with #2. All useable vehicles & other equipment should have been evacuated or destroyed before we left. Common sense we might expect from a Boy Scout. I’m waiting to hear our highly decorated generals provide a reasonable answer to the American public or resign.

The equipment was left for the Afghan army. They bugged out to Tajikistan instead.

Oh yeah, good plan you idiot. Do air strikes & p**s off the Taliban so they can kill Americans. Get our people out first!!!
And you certainly don’t broadcast your intentions!!

If this were a real military operation, we’d be reading about it in the past tense! Just more word salad to create the impression of action.

Those that know won't talk...those that are talking don't know. Bidens talking. The people that make up target lists are not.
It is entirely possible that destructive devices are already attached to much of the stuff, trackers as well. The artillery stuff is more dangerous to us and others than the planes, choppers and humvees...the rockets and are grenades easier to ship out, don't need a "crew" to make function, thus a worldwide risk.. The bigger stockpiles of that stuff are well know locations, and the secondary explosions should be quite impressive. A couple thousand of the "Vehicles" are mere cars/trucks that we took the keys to, they have neither the parts nor the expertise to even keep the humvees, let alone the MRAPS running for long...the planes and Helos they cannot fly...at least not for long,even after years of training and simulators the afghans could barely fly any of it.

This is just bunk for domestic consumption. How can they consider any kind of attacks when they are totally dependent on the forbearance of the Taliban for evacuations?

If the U.S. starts bombing or starts destroying what they've left behind, the Taliban will start killing Americans and others at the Kabul airport.

Per #9, it's the small stuff that has the most value to any terrorist. As a former shipboard Weapons Officer, keeping track of 5" projectiles was important but lose track and accounting of a single round of 9mm and you've got some real explaining to do. We can only hope that those in charge of the crypto gear at Bagram were able to remove or destroy it before being told that the last plane was leaving.

As soon as the first strike is over, Americans will become hostages.

After sending a notification to Taliban? How much did the Taliban pay Hunter?

The taliban has how many tens of thousands of potential American hostages? Do they A: start slaughtering Americans as reprisals for air strikes, B: use Americans as human shields, or C: both?
Its too late Joe Losin'. The equipment has been moved and any attacks will result in American bloodshed not seen in forever.

They took our stuff (or was it given to them?), why aren't we taking it back? Why did we let them take it in the first place? I thought America had a military. I guess that ended January 6 or whenever that fool was installed.

Perhaps Biden could hold some auction for the military stuff.
It will increase tourism. /s

It would have been easy to do before the Taliban took over, you flaming fool.

Sorry Ryan but it’s way too late for that. Also idiots Biden, Harris, Austin and Milley don’t have the guts to pull it off. These are the same people who are more concerned about White rage, transgenderism, and pregnant pilots in the military than defense of our nation and we the people. That equipment is under terrorist control and God only knows what’s happening to it.

#9, you are correct about aircraft, but I have learned in my travels that you never underestimate the ability of these guys to maintain their equipment and weapons. It may not meet US standards, but they sure as heck can move and shoot, and in some cases communicate. Also, first time I've heard some of these things have been low-jacked. It also wouldn't surprise me if a few of the mountain men know how to bypass it.

Seems to me that we could file this under A Day Late And A Dollar Short...
