The enormity of Biden’s Afghanistan f*ck up is quantfied
Thanks to the Government Accountability Office, we now have a clear picture of just how much U.S. military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, thanks to this Administration’s bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let’s have a look…

Aircraft: The Taliban now ranks #26 in the world in total military aircraft, thanks to us leaving behind
208 planes and helicopters:
110 helicopters
60 transport/cargo planes
20 light attack planes
18 intelligence/surveillance planes— Felix Sater (@felixsater) April 12, 2022
Vehicles: You’ve probably seen the footage of the Taliban riding around in our humvees.
We left a total of 75,898 vehicles:
42,604 tactical vehicles
22,174 humvees
8,998 medium tactical vehicles
1,005 recovery vehicles
928 mine-resistant vehicles
189 armored tanks— Felix Sater (@felixsater) April 12, 2022
Weapons: Get ready for this…
599,690 of our weapons are now in the hands of the Taliban:
358,530 rifles
126,295 pistols
64,363 machine guns
25,327 grenade launchers
12,692 shotguns
9,877 RPGs
2,606 howitzers— Felix Sater (@felixsater) April 12, 2022
And you can throw a couple thousand night-vision goggles, surveillance drones, and communication devices on that list as well.
Price tag: In total, it adds up to nearly $84 BILLION DOLLARS in tax-payer-funded U.S. military equipment.

Here is where this shit gets wild.
Top 10 Countries with the Highest Military Expenditures (2020):
- The United States — $778 billion
- China — $252 billion [estimated]
- India — $72.9 billion
- Russia — $61.7 billion
- United Kingdom — $59.2 billion
- Saudi Arabia — $57.5 billion [estimated]
- Germany — $52.8 billion
- France — $52.7 billion
- Japan — $49.1 billion
- South Korea — $45.7 billion
We left the Taliban with $84 Billion in weapons, equipment, and cash.
We made our 20 year enemy the third most funded military in the world in 2021.
I pay taxes and the President talks about wanting to take my guns away.
Fight a war against America for two decades and get left with enough military equipment to make yourself a regional super-power.
And not one person responsible will go to prison for this.
We’re so, so fucked.
