The Taliban has mechanics too

President Biden’s pullout from Afghanistan was so tragically botched in so many ways that leaving behind $7 billion worth of our military equipment for the Taliban barely rated a mention in the news. Besides, we were assured that the initial figure of $81 billion was wrong (that was the value of all the military equipment we sent to Afghanistan from the beginning, which is hardly reassuring), and it was okay because all that equipment left behind had been disabled.

Well, it appears that our leaders not only underestimated the Taliban's resolve and brutality, they also underestimated their mechanic sk**ls. They’ve been busily repairing all those military vehicles we left behind and are (so far) in possession of “150 International Kamazes, 125 Humvees, 2 assault tanks, 4 trucks, 10 Porcliff vehicles, and 15 Humvee ambulances,” all fully operational.
As that story reports, Biden also left behind massive numbers of weapons and small arms, $48 million worth of ammunition, and 80 military planes with smashed control panels that they assumed the Taliban would never be able to fix.
You know, I had thought that leaving the US military broken and unable to function was the one thing Biden would be competent at. But no…

Red State is a far right wing publication with a mixed degree of t***hfulness. This by Media Bias and AllSides. So this article 8s probably biased
They may be right about the amount if equipment that was left in Afghanistan, but remember it was given to Afghanistan over a 20 year period.
We didn't learn a thing from VietNam. We proped up an unpopular corrupt government. No wonder it collapsed so fast.

We forget that his leader Obama left the leaders _that bunch of k**lers in Iraq the same way,well armed.
This is the same tactics to keep turmoil every where they can. Don't think that obama and FJB aren't in the same boat. Biden is to dumb to run the show so the nig tells him what to do.
