The Bolsheviks,who are controlling Biden,are doing everything in their power to diminish and disadvantage the USA. We will have to go back in that God forbidden,Satanic hell-hole and take it back and/or destroy those weapons. https://twitter.com/i/status/1458046713265070081

Well we won't do it as long as Biden's handlers are running things. Hopefully the Chinese will over play their hand and get some of the receiving end of that hardware.

The older stuff will be rusted hulks in the desert.

I know a fairly senior person, now retired, who managed logistics in Afghanistan for several years. He told me that most of the vehicles that we left in Afghanistan were well worn and, other than the aircraft, weren't worth the cost of returning it to the U.S. or Europe to be rebuilt. Whenever we provide military gear to a third party, we lose control of it and it can end up anywhere. I've seen pictures of MRAP trucks that we gave to Qatar and the UAE in Yeman, where they were being used by rebel forces.

How can one tell what condition they are in and were all the vehicles they picked up displayed? We shall see what is left of them after Winter hits there. I worry more about Biden sending them pallets of cash so they can build their terror network worldwide.

Afghanistan grows the largest crop of poppies in the world.They don't need cash,they need weapons. Biden,the demented bastard and his Bolshevik puppet masters,gave the Taliban all they ever wanted or needed.

Biden calls the Taliban our “Afghan partners”. Arming our enemies is a long standing tradition with the democrats because they hate us.

The guy who I know was on the ground in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Since he was there, I'll take his word for how things were when he left in 2018/2019. He was there as a government employee and after he retired from civil service he worked for a vehicle maintenance contractor. He told me months ago that once the maintenance contractors left and there wasn't a steady stream of common or heavy repair parts being trucked through Pakistand or ighter critical parts being air lifted into Bagrum, the Afghan military's ground and air transportation would only last for a few months before they had to start cannibalizing the different vehicle types. He told me that the Afghans could just barely maintain basic vehicles and had little chance of maintaining sophisticated weapons systems once they started to go down. The Afghans did the same thing after the Soviets left, ran the vehicles until they didn't run and then cannibalize the fleet to keep fewer and fewer vehciles running. I read somewhere that the Paks are buying, or trying to buy, weapons from the Afghans as a means by which to keep those weapons out of the hands of the Pak terrorist organizations that operate in the Federally Administrated Tribal Ares on the border with Afghanistan. Or so it seems to me.

Thousands of tons of steel the Afghans won't touch because the steel supposedly is contaminated by radioactivity. Hell, you wouldn't believe the stuff that shows up at the bazaars that was left behind by the Brits on 2 different excursions into the country. kwg

Or so it seems to me. The Pakistan secret police are Pakistan's worst enemy. The government only operates with their permission. It was those tribal lands that the Taliban set up camp and the rent America paid to drive across Pakistan was used to support the Taliban. Did you see any skinny and starving Taliban in any videos 3 months ago ??. All other Afghanistan's were ordered out of Pakistan about 3 years ago. Some had been in Pakistan since the Russian invasion. Their homes were destroyed by the Russians or someone else claimed their tribal grounds so they had no where to return to. About the time 3 years ago that the Taliban really started going back into Afghanistan and taking over local governments close to the border of Pakistan. kwg

The major purpose of the last several conflicts has been to enrich the mil/ind complex. Gotta have a conflict (or leave chit behind) so the bottom line is maintained or improved over the next few years. Building Back Better.... Repeat Repeat
