There is an argument to be made that U.S. policy specifically, perhaps intentionally, culminated in delivering a mechanized national army for the Muslim Brotherhood to use in Afghanistan. Earlier today, the Taliban held a celebratory parade including U.S. military assets we left for the Afghan army.
A couple of videos below highlight the types of vehicles and weapons now in the hands of Taliban forces, and they are not exclusive to the Kabul area. Mavlave Abdul Ghafor, the Kandahar Commander of Taliban, congratulated Afghans on “great victory and success”.
.
Whether the Taliban forces have the systems, personnel and training to maintain and operate this equipment in the long-term is unknown. However, in the interim period they are well prepared to fight an internal civil war against any entity who would challenge their power.
.

The Taliban face the issue now of having to run a nation. In the Sky News segment below the question is asked: “Will the west have the stomach to help them?”
If we consider the ideological approach from the U.S. State Department; the larger elements of the American government who are aligned with an interventionist U.S. foreign policy; and the sympathetic sensibilities of the Foggy Bottom community who are well aligned with the goals and objectives of the Obama-era operatives; well, one can easily imagine a U.S. policy that gives the Taliban support from the United Nations.
It is a bizarre world Alice. “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
…And so it is.
But, but, but…. the Military just told us they disabled all the equipment they left behind! I can’t believe they would fib to us!!! ?
That word “disabled”.
I do not think it means what the Pentagon thinks it means.
/s
It don’t mean what they want us to think it means.
Like they took the dogs out too….
By the way, the majority of Muslim eastern cultures despise dogs. They consider them unpure and submissive, not to be trusted. Nor to ever be able to set foot on ones home, hovel, mud hut, regardless of the shithole it may be. The belief is the Angels wont set foot in a house where a dog lays, such is the saying.
This makes me very angry and sad. The number fluctuates but I heard it was 50 or 51 dogs were left behind but at least they were freed from their cages so they can escape. I just hope the worst that happens to them is they get shot and killed immediately if they don’t escape because otherwise they will torture those dogs because of their association with the US forces. Praying for those canines.
Disabled is code for the keys are under the visor.
There it is!
Or it could mean they let the air out of the tires… or drained the fuel tanks. Yeah, that’ll slow ‘em down for a few minutes.
I think they referred to only the equipment in the Kabul airport being disabled, although they tried to give the impression it was all the equipment in the country. Some of the media erroneously reported as all the equipment in the country and I didn’t see the military correcting those reports.
That’s because politicians in all governments never “say what they mean” and “mean what they say”.
Well, it looks like Obama got his wish (fundamentally change America) he turned us from Goliath to punks, only punks leave their own behind enemy lines!
Victors usually do have parades to celebrate.
Hooray!

The SecDef says it’s heroic and historic.
And sad that he was not invited to be Grand Marshall.
Someone needs to tell the SecDef he’s not wearing any clothes.
He must have meant to say say heretic and hysteric.
I doubt he knows what either of those words mean.
Joe heads back to Delaware. Not that it really matters. Whether he’s there or at the WH, the man can’t really function, so there’s that. No biggy. There’s no leadership. Some folks behind the scenes are in charge, but not highly organized and w/no official standing. Nothing to worry about. It’s just the United States of America.

Those items sure look disabled to me. Must be they are just cardboard cutouts made up to make Biden and Thoroughly Modern Milley look like liars and traitors to our country. I mean, they never would arm terrorist Islamic forces, right? I’m sure Benghazi was just an error too. Never mind that it armed ISIS, Duh One wouldn’t enable terrorists in his first two terms, never mind doing it all over again under the puppet Bidet.
Mardo Soghom @MSoghom
Photos and reports from Iranian and Afghan social media show the #Taliban have handed over US tanks and Humvees to #Iran. Below is a photo of Humvees being transported toward Tehran.
Who would have thought? Anyone with a brain. After all that was the plan, wasn’t it? Giving it to Iran. Wasn’t it said that covered all the other stuff sold to them from the Biden terrorist group.
Brzezinski’s ideological heirs continue his Mideast policy.
(They’re NOT on OUR side.)
Would one be wrong the believe that the equipment has had an Iranian address for some time??
No
Benghazi on an immense scale!
For sure.
And China is probably already reverse engineering it.
My reading of the reports was that the Military was saying they disabled all the equipment in the Kabul airport at the very end, but were so nebulous in their statement that some media were reporting all the equipment in the country. I wish the military would make a clear statement, as so many people are reporting they disabled all the equipment, when clearly that is not true.
Oryx has a list of all the equipment left in Afghanistan:
https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2021/06/disaster-at-hand-documenting-afghan.html
Not many of these are listed as destroyed.
https://gellerreport.com/2021/09/taliban-gives-us-tanks-military-equipment-to-iran.html/
if anyone has contrary information to this article please comment.
Omri Ceren has a whole stream of these.
He asks, “What is it the Obama-Biden crew and getting money & weapons to Iran?”
Well, unlike us, I don’t think that they would be so stupid to just give away stuff. And since they are rolling in US cash, maybe there are a few quids here a few quos there and a few pros inbetween.
The article did mention Iran offering up fuel shipments.
The O’biden regime and its generals are saving the parades for the towns they enslave here.
“You will come, you will watch, you will smile and cheer.
Yours and your family’s lives depend on your demonstrating your enthusiasm for your new masters.”

I remember when ISIS had success in Syria and Iraq their numbers swelled with jihadis. I expect these shows will have a similar effect for the Taliban. I’m wondering if Taliban us trying to emulate the mullahs in Iran and create a political face for the group?
They’re going to be MORE than a political face.
They’re going to be recognized as the legitimite govt of Afg.
Sashaying around the UN, full-fledged voting members, with an stable of admirers – everybody who hates us.
Qatar {spit} is paying for the best PR consultancies in the world. Al-Jaz and al-BBCeera are already fluffing and buffing their image.
And a horde of leftist nitwits in this country will do the same.
They will be more legitimate than Biden and his outlaw group.
Waaay past time to UNEXIT.
This may be interpreted to be a good thing by some but to me this is exactly what the enemy (our foreign government) wants. Does anyone see any good in the good guys quitting and the bad guys continuing to infiltrate the vacancies left behind in our institutions/military? I read somewhere two FDA employees resigned today as well. What good are they now? Are we to all stop voting on election night now in protest of rigged and fraudulent elections? Of course not.
Yes, it’s a good thing. Soon the good guys will sent to die for another useless war or protect Pelosi and her brown shirts in DC against us. Is that better?
Good guys obeying communists orders, I don’t see the appeal.
Eventually the swamp will cave if many leave. They can’t survive without a strong Military.
Surely you wouldnt want a military full of woke antifa inspired activists enforcing covid passports and lockdowns?
Actually, that IS what our military brass is promoting and aiming for.
No Patriots. No Alpha males.
exactly. Lets not make it easier for them.
I would rather know that when they come for me there will be no Patriots and no Alpha males in the bunch.
Actually, they CAN. Why would we need a “strong military” to defend America from foreign invasion, when the enemies of America are already not only inside the gates, but in charge?
Those who stay, or sign up from here on out, are the woke brigades that will gleefully follow orders to shoot unarmed (America First) protesters, herd them into cattle cars, and oversee concentration camps.
Those that are leaving,…wouldn’t follow such orders.
As for the CDC guys, would need a lot more info, to begin to guess the color of their hats. They had a disagreement with the admin over boosters for the Vax,…so they were “o.k.” with everything up till now, but the boosters was a bridge too far?
And, lets see where they land. Dimes to donuts, working FOR the pharmacuetical industry, correct that on the OFFICIAL payroll of the industry.
Yes.
A reassuring thought.
You clearly haven’t been following LC Schellers story. I suggest you watch:
https://tv.gab.com/channel/kittylists/view/lt-col-stuart-scheller-discusses-his-612be4b122f849af7f69f541
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/lt-col-stuart-scheller-secret-message-on-chess-board/
The enemy hates our country. So much so I am sure they would be happy to join the military to prove it. There are some teaching this Marxist ideology in public schools. Our government is not controlled by Americans anymore. Because of this, I believe having good people on the inside right now would seem like the best strategy.
After seeing so many in government and even the military ignoring their oaths, it’s sad there are not more like LTC Scheller.
Think of it as a doctor not wanting to participate in an abortion.
I understand and respect but this is War.
“I respect your attitude, but I would have stayed as long as I could in Service. If nothing else you could have played this hard in the Media! We have a bunch of Idiots running the Country now. The Main Stream Media probably would have covered the ruckus you could have brought.”
The perfumed princes above him were already moving to counter absolutely anything LTC Scheller would have done if he stayed in. It is a method they have perfected years ago, and it picked up speed when Duh Won! was getting rid of officers.
They referred Scheller for a psych eval. If he didn’t show up for it, he would be disobeying orders. If he did show up for it, there would have been any number of leaks to the press saying he was found to be unstable.
Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if he were ordered held for treatment. It would give them the ability to continue leaking and smearing him in a whisper campaign, while publicly saying they cannot say anything due to medical privacy or some such BS.
By resigning, he can hold his head high that he upheld his oath, and continue the battle on the outside however he can, without having to defend himself from leaks and smears and petty tyrants.
I disagree Mass, it is time for good, honorable men on which the system relies so heavily, to stand and say….enough, I can no longer enable this corrupt system to trample on our Constitution nor aid them in the destruction of America. Join the Resistance, stand for freedom and the American way.
If this was the great victory Joe Biden said it was, we would have a parade too.
Only the Grand Marshalls would be those 114,000 unvetted Afghanis.
Hes planning one in ten days. He has no shame.
White flags, pennants and bunting will adorn the parade route.
Proudly saluting America’s Back—–side.
this whole thing stinks of john kerry
Kerry has been a traitor to this country for a long time, and given the Iran deal he was part of during Obama’s unholy reign the first time, this certainly sounds like something he would engineer. The Swift Boaters were right about him.
Somewhere there are some demented Dims who are celebrating this.
They’re same ones who screamed bloody murder when President Trump celebrated our troops during our Independence Day.
If the DOD (master) / Biden (puppet) had not screwed up the exit so much, we could be holding a Military Parade to Celebrate the Exit of U.S. Forces From Afghanistan
I think the Taliban have it figured out pretty well. They will do what others have done. Whatever they wish internally while maintaining a good PR outfit and a well dressed well spoken dude to mouth pieties to whatever god the U.N. likes at the moment and thereby gain the goodwill of the international crime er community family thingy. They have been educated in Pakistan while in exile. As to sources of knowledge to maintain and make best use of the equipment they have, they can do what every American does and youtube it. If that fails, I am sure there are plenty of people well schooled in the use and maintenance of U.S. military equipment from any of the many many nations we have supplied and trained and funded with average joe’s paycheck withholdings over the decades. But, if not for our help, the entire mideast would probably resemble Syria and Afghanistan. The only real danger to the mullahs in Afghanistan now is if the people of Iran shake off their rule there and become party to peace with Israel like so many others did under the watch of him who must not be named.
Bingo. They will create a political face backed by china. They don’t care about uniting governing or developing the country. They’ll kill anyone there they believe they need to. Its essentially Iran 2.0 but without a population as a whole to govern.
The biger threat is the mass incoming refugee flow and that China will end up with a clone of every one of these weapons including the Apache.
I suspect China already has clones of every US weapons platform, but this certainly doesn’t help.
keeler: China’s cloned Blackhawks look like real Blackhawks.
Fortunately, being made in China, they don’t FLY like real Blackhawks, or probably fly at all.
China produces crap, because the system of State ownership ALWAYS produces crap; its inherent.
Soviets had the same flaw.
Yup. No incentive for excellence.
What do you think Hunter and the big guy have been doing for the past 20 years.
just freakin great . the taliban are just laughing at us now having fake funerals
meanwhile the dementia ridden pathological liar WH occupant and his evil cohort psaki just keep lying and lying over and over again
first it was americans are safe to travel there is no danger .. then taliban takes over (americans die) then it’s we have it under control safe passage for anyone that wants to leave (more die) then it’s we’ll get everyone out of there safely before.. (more die) then its no one could have seen this afghan collapse coming ! (more die) .. then it’s if americans wanted to leave they could’ve have left! .. then it’s this withdrawal was a complete extraordinary success… (more die).. then we tried to warn everyone to leave so it’s their fault theyre dead.
meanwhile how many more americans are stranded by the thousands? … can you even imagine what rhe real death count could be ? this complicit media will never report it and we will never know.
control the media . control big tech and control the narrative . they will win every time .
“one can easily imagine a U.S. policy that gives the Taliban support from the United Nations….”
That is why the airport bombings were so important (and perhaps why, if reports are true, approval was not given to launch a drone strike on the bombers). They provide political cover for the West to “work” with the Taliban to contain the Al-Qaeda variant of the week, the “really bad guys.” The media was dropping hints of this shift within hours of those attacks. The Taliban gets international recognition and support, and the West gets to weave silk purses out of the sow’s ear which has become the War on Terror.
To conclude I ask: who is flying the Black Hawk helicopters? If the pilots are Taliban, and not Afghani Army POWS, how did we get Taliban Blackhawk pilots? Who taught them? When? And why? Perhaps the answers to those questions will fit into the bigger picture being sketched out here…
I’ve been suspecting the Taliban will create a political face which will be backed by benefactor China. Money I think is goal of the Taliban right now. They know they cant govern a tribal fractured country like Afghanistan but governance is not their goal. Submission is.
Pakistan and China have pretty close ties, and Pakistan supports various tribes within Afghanistan.
The Chinese have likely been using Pakistan and its tribal affiliations as proxies, and will continue to do so.
Many Afgs and Paks are from the SAME tribes.
Taliban is mostly Pashtun. The borders in those parts never made sense.
Im sure the MSM will be showing those vids 24/7 over the next month…..if DJT were still the president.
Where and when is our parade here in the US? That is if the evacuation was a success as told by the Obama Lawfare group of seditious bureaucrats in the DoS/government have written down for dumpster fire Biden to puke up to us all. .
I fear for the American hostages that they may well choose to parade as well.
I’m betting taliban will let ISIS and al Qaeda handle that while it plays “legit”.
…and the Taliban will gain in the eyes of the leftist international community struggling to deal with the threat.
I know! Let’s send BLM and Antifa over to help them celebrate!
Our sheriff’s department has been trying to fix the hydraulic systems on a MRAP since they got it. Nice paint job. Won’t work properly. There’s no shortage of well trained mechanics down here which illustrates the problem. Those people are seventh century with IQs of 70 yet they worked the long game against a military ROE based on 18th century methods and extraordinarily complex equipment and maintenance schedules. But, I’m sure the Chinese can fix everything with US parts FedEx’d to them from the state department.
To the victor go the spoils. As disgraced losers our government will take in all your unwanted citizens in a refugee program. Our President is very grateful to you. Please don’t kill any Americans still in your country. Our politicians will pay a handsome price for them. We will welcome you to the United Nations where your country will be our equal.
I have one big blaring question
What the hell does George W. Bush think about all of this ?
Why is George W. Bush silent on this whole debacle? He started the so-called War on Terrorism. I would love to hear his thoughts on this Taliban parade of US military equipment.
Perhaps GW’s silence indicates he has no objections to what has happened.
Remember when Bush Sr. uttered the phrase: “The new world order”? What was that supposed to mean? We now know the Bushies are globalists. They probably support the “Great Reset.” Doesn’t it seem that the Afghanistan Über-FUBAR fits in nicely with Klaus Schwab’s plans?
Would any Treepers be surprised if GW Bush is happy with the Afghanistan turn of events?
Islam brings hope and comfort to millions of people in my country, and to more than a billion people worldwide. Ramadan is also an occasion to remember that Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to people.
It inspires them to lead lives based on honesty, and justice, and compassion. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It’s a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It’s a faith based upon love, not hate. Mohammad’s word has guided billions of believers across the centuries, and those believers built a culture of learning and literature and science. All the world continues to benefit from this faith and its achievements. The Islam that we know is a faith devoted to the worship of one God, as revealed through The Holy Qur’an. It teaches the value and the importance of charity, mercy, and peace.
– George W. Bush !!! (the depraved lunatic who should be in an asylum for the criminally insane)
Bush used America’s own troops as disposable Lab Rats in his leftist
All Cultures Are Equal And Want Freedom Just Like Us Sociology Experiment from Hell. And he continued it year after year after year after year, apparently utterly incapable of learning anything, ever!!!
August 2021 will be remembered as the month and year the world stopped trusting America.
Should have stopped trusting the USA on January 20th.
“Whether the Taliban forces have the systems, personnel and training to maintain and operate this equipment in the long-term is unknown. However, in the interim period they are well prepared to fight an internal civil war against any entity who would challenge their power.”
That’s a key point when considering the following
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/09/01/taliban-hold-a-military-parade-to-celebrate-the-exit-of-u-s-forces-from-afghanistan/
“The country was theirs for the taking. The Taliban fought few battles. The various warlords and leaders began switching sides when Biden announced his withdrawal to join the winning team. That’s the Islamic team backed by Pakistan, China, Turkey who are the big boys still standing.
“But that doesn’t mean that they won’t switch sides next month or next year.
“The hated government in Kabul was backed by our money and our air power. We’re out, so are they. But the locals will hate the Taliban too. And as the Chinese come in to set up mines, run roads, and offend the locals, they’ll find out what we, the British, and the Russians learned.
“Afghanistan doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s its own forever war of quarreling tribes.”
If somebody wanted to change that and instead have a group with a more consistent upper hand, what might they do to achieve that?
Alexander the Great asked the same question 2,300 years ago.
Amateurs and helicopters don’t mix well.
Flying a Blackhawk with a flapping banner flag on the side invites same flag ending up in the tail rotor, bad for continued flight.
I believe Biden’s gift of $billions of serviceable military equipment has a purpose and that is to humiliate and demoralise Americans
What’s the over/under that this was ALSO orchestrated to deflect from the election fraud? Considering the innumerable people—in high AND low places—who would be indictable for that.
The Left after all, is famous for its ability to multi-task any amount of evil.
JoeBama’s Army
Can’t find it now, but saw an article somewhere that some of our “disabled’ weapons were seen on the road to Iran.
Treason, in it’s highest form. Shame we don’t have a real press or congress that cares more about our country and who’s running it than their own damn egos.
The shitte militias in Syrac will be using our own weapons against us as. Get us to speed up our evacuation there.
Remember when the US military were welding steel plate to Humvees to be used as hillbilly armor?
What a disaster.
I wonder how long until Biden recommends they become part of NATO?
Goat Herders Gone Wild – Volume one.

I wonder if or when, they will find contractors, to maintain and supply parts for the equipment/ hardware, for a big bucks.

Good for them, they won, they should have a parade, the US lost and fled the country with our tails between our legs as the entire world watched. Worse yet, our evil Government killed 13 of our Service Members, left hundreds, if not thousands of Americans and innocent animals behind to be slaughtered by terrorists and nobody in the Government seems to care at all. Life means nothing in this country anymore, it’s really sad. We really suck as a country.
I still love America as a country. The current regime, not so much . . .
The current regime I despise…..followed by the conniving bunch on Capitol Hill.
Beaucoup FUBAR.
Numbah Ten Thousand.
Its only eight months in with this admin and see what has been accomplished so far.
Imagine what is is store for us for the next three years.
We should last and live so long.
In the past, the US military has often had a parade when soldiers came home.
It’s a seriously sad state of affairs when our enemy has a parade first with our own equipment.
Seriously infuriating.
Painful to see all our technology left to the enemy. More painful to see it was done deliberately.
Those are complex, high maintenance machines. How long will they stay operable without a supply line from the US. Or is that the money making scheme here, selling them their much needed service parts on the black market?
Military vehicles, especially track laying require an unbelieveable amount of preventive maintenance checks and services. Aircraft even more so. Still, a tank cannon can still be fired from a static position and direct fire isnt all that hard to figure out. Now indirect fire is something else altogether. Im sure the Iranians and Pakis will be more than happy to help them out.
Mike,
Tanks in a static positions can, however, level static buildings and structures.
Considering the equipment was given to the enemy, if said equipment were used to destroy (or threaten) a much more valuable asset or structure, it’s loss would be negligible.
Supplying terrorist with military weapons right out in plain sight is easier then allowing Mexicans to buy them and ship them across the border and then kill border patrol
Perfect time for B52’s to do what they do best. Tons and tons of them. If only we had , an administration that had the country’s best interests at heart.
Who says this well equipped army will STAY in afganistan, OR that the weopons systems will?
And, I am sure the U.S has trained many in the M.E. to maintain and operate these systems,…
Biden admin,..guaranteeing havoc in the middle east, for the forseeable future.
The arab spring on steroids, as the Muslim brotherhood now has a well equipped army, to overthrow stable regimes thruout the ME.
Turned afganistan into “Operation Zero footprint” (in Benghazi) into Operation Yuge footprint,gifting the Muslim brotherhood with a well equipped army.
Saudi’s, etc must not be very pleased about this. Only bright side is this may further strengthen their alliance with Israel,..
Although their government is leftist, too now so not much of a silver lining,..
The Gulfies are making a hudna with the mullahs.
Moh did it, so it’s no dishonor.
But they won’t forgive us.
And – to turn a phrase – they have six ways to Sunday to get back at us.
We just imported 100k military aged men courtesy of US military. Wait til you see their “parades” here in the former USA on 9\11\21
Did we leave stuff in Vietnam?
The US equipped the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) quite well. When the US signed the Paris Accord in January 1973, all US forces left, as did the air support. Naturally, massive amounts of small arms, artillery, tanks, and a reasonable number of aircraft were given to the South. The ARVN forces managed to hold out for two more years, but were overrun by the People’s Army of Vietnam (Communist north,) in April 1975.
Vietnam was so well armed by the US and USSR that they held off China in a war in 1978.
And this

That was the intent of Obama’s creation of ISIS, to defeat Assad in Syria. Trump put the kibosh on that.
I served in the Navy maintaining computers in the 80’s. I know things look bad, but without skilled technicians over half of these trucks and helicopters will be useless in less than a year. I doubt China will sent enough technicians to keep Afghanistan running.
China cares more about the natural resources of which it will gain control and from which it expects to greatly profit.
Lithium anyone?
Sadly selling the equipment to Iran is not a bad idea.
