Earlier in the week, it was reported the Taliban now controls approximately 174 humvees, 10,000 rockets and 6 light attack aircraft. (Photo/Info) But it is much worse than that. A report from Fox News on Saturday highlighted the scope of the crisis unfolding in Afghanistan as the network claims the Taliban now control 75,000 vehicles, 200 aircraft, 600,000 weapons, and $85 billion in funding.This is like Obama’s Fast and Furious gun-running scandal on steroids.

How is this remotely possible. There is stupid but this is treason. He should be in the Alzheimer’s unit at Leavenworth or Gitmo by Sunday morning.

Most of the vehicles will be useless in sixth days. Aircraft won't be flown. Fuel and maintenance issues will leave that hardware as rusting hulks.
The weapons will still be usable and that's a problem.

This explains why Biden and the Dems want to raise taxes so much. They need money to pay for the Taliban's 'infrastructure' so the can build it back better!

That's 600,000 assault rifles, SAWs and machine guns and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammo. How about the more deadly stuff like SAMs, TOWs, mortars, artillery and other crew served profiles. How many MLRS were in country, for example?
And worse, how much if it is already bundled up on its way to China and Russia?

But we've issued a strongly-worded statement that this behavior is unacceptable, right? I'm sure everything will be fine. Just keep watching the State Department Twitter and Facebook accounts for further instruction.

I can tell you from personal observation in Afghanistan helping the mujahidin against the Russians in 1988, they had HUGE junkyards full of Soviet armor, weapons and even airplanes when the "dushman" (as they called the Russians) finally left but the only value to them was as scrap since they didn't have trained mechanics, spare parts, fuel, support and, besides, no one knew how to operate them anyway. Yeah, they got lots of American stuff but its only value is scrap metal. Not so, unfortunately, for the small arms as they'll be able to cannibalize those 600,000 rifles to keep 200,000 functioning for years. Joe "Big Guy" Biden deserves his 10% on this deal, though.

I now believe this was all planned, and it worked perfectly for Obama. These weapons will find their way to Pakistan and be sold to countries that want to destroy the United States. This makes me sick.

The bigger WTH is that our armed forces are neither saving our people or retrieving our military property. Something is not right about this. This makes no sense.

One does not seize this many weapons. Many of them had to be delivered to them. What if the overthrow of the Afghan government by the Taliban was actually a coup initiated by the Biden administration? They couldn't have planned it any better.

So now they wouldn't have to hijack planes. I am sure we haven't seen the worst yet.

The military-industrial complex does not care, as they will now get to order and manufacture replacements for all the arms and equipment captured by the Taliban, there is big money to be made.

This disgusting vegetable should pay the American taxpayer this money back. After all, he has enough through his Ukraine and Chinese dealings!

If they've got any leftover ammo I'll buy it.

Except, #9, we trained 10s of thousands of Afghans HOW to use the equipment we now left behind. The Russians had no interest in propping up an Afghan Army like we did.

The winners always get the weapons. Doesn't mean they can keep them running however. And small arms will last a long time given even mediocre maintenance. Look at the AK47 as an example. Since we thought the Afgan army would fight there was no reason to remove or destroy any weapons. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Remember how Obama and Hillary were gun-running from Benghazi to Islamic rebels in Syria resulting in the "13 Hours" at the Ambassador's quarters? This has been a CIA tactic for decades and apparently this time it resulted in the largest illegal transfer of war-making materiel in the history of the world. This is stinking like TREASON my friends and a massive case at that.

I was reading here this morning or maybe yesterday that materiel was still being shipped to Afghanistan even though certain places said they were running out of supplies. Probably addressed to the Tallybon. When will the shipments stop? Words just fail me and have for the last seven months.

Not so worried about the aircraft. Illiterate Bronze Age people are not going to be pulling maintenance on helicopter engines anytime soon.
