Taliban extremists paraded a massive haul of American military hardware around the streets of Afghanistan on Wednesday, reminding the world what a catastrophic failure the Biden withdrawal from the country was in 2021.
The parade featuring Humvees, armored vehicles, helicopters and weapons was held close to near the former US Bagram airbase.
The Biden-Harris administration left close to a billion dollars worth of aircraft, in addition to around 40,000 military vehicles, 300,000 weapons, and enough ammunition to last forever.
The Taliban also now have advanced military electronics, including night vision and surveillance equipment.
A report from The Department of Defense Inspector General from 2022 noted that “U.S.-funded equipment valued at $7.12 billion” was left in the hands of the Islamic extremists.
As we highlighted in May, a report to Congress from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) noted that the United States has also provided Afghanistan with $17.19 billion in aid since August 2021.
The report also warned that al Qaeda has reestablished itself in the country.
John Sopko, head of SIGAR, previously told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that he “cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban,” and accused the Biden administration of blocking his efforts to find out.

This massive disaster (2 trillion down the drain apart from all the rest) along with so many more could have been avoided had we been respectfully consulted for an alternative first, it was quite feasible to prevent this with a pretty minimal effort if done right, but instead disaster after disaster is insisted upon by the ‘ptb’ – neanderthal-level, quite oblivious to the real PTB, to whom they will have to answer for every last crime and lie, when time is called on their crap, most assuredly.
Roflmao. In allmwars the military abandons their weaponry.its too expensive to.take it home.
Arms should be destroyed then.. there is a reason for it.. “abandon” in great shape?, not sure why.. unless they made a deal of sorts. Think Afghan ((((Daesh))))..
