The #Taliban not only seized appr. a hundred US humvees and (MaxxPro) MRAPs at Kunduz airport, but also several US ScanEagle drones.
Billions of US tax payer $ going to Islamist extremists, thanks to the administration’s hasty withdrawal without a peace deal or follow up mission. pic.twitter.com/Fb5MTpdLKK— Julian Röpcke (@JulianRoepcke) August 12, 2021
The sheer amount of vehicles raises the question if anyone ever used them after they were paid and transferred by the US …
Now every Taliban fighter gets his own Ford, Toyota, Humvee or MRAP. pic.twitter.com/3wfSMt2VPR— Julian Röpcke (@JulianRoepcke) August 12, 2021
I paid for those Toyotas, Humvees, and MRAPS with my tax dollars.
Now they’re in the hands of the Taliban.
How about Biden just issue Letters of Marque and let us rednecks get that stuff back. Anything we capture we can keep.
“Anything we capture we can keep.”
Do the Humvees come with an extended warranty? 8>)
Hell with the warrenty!! Does it come with a 40 mike mike grenade launcher??
That way I can get a Hilux with a Doushka! 🙂 You can have the Hummers…
Yeah, you guys want Hummers and Mk 19’s? I do not think you would pick a more stoppage prone mix. I am with Old NFO.
Total cluster flock!
I’ll be the first redneck on that plane…
In six months, the MRAPs and Hummers will be broken down and half the Toyotas will be parted out to keep the other half running.
In five years we will be smuggling weapons to the Taliban or whoever is sort of, kind of, running part of or most of Afghanistan; so they can fight the Chinese.
Biggest Mistake? They let the Regular F’ing Army, Navy, and Marines in Country. Should have kept it SOF and local forces only, and then left when Al Qaeda was run out of the country.
On the way out we should have obliterated the Pakistani ISI HQ.
For “Pakistani ISI HQ” substitute “Islamabad”.
Why would they fight the Chinese? The Chinese are their allies, as they are Iran’s allies. Neither set of rulers gives a goat’s ass about Islam, that much is clear. It’s just opium for the masses (or perhaps fentanyl for the masses).
Because the Chinese hate muslims. As soon as the Taliban don’t want or need the chinese money in exchange for ressources things can get ugly.
Iran sold out to the Chinese but given the volatile nature of intermuslim relationships they may have painted a target on their backs with these actions.
Do you think the Taliban care that the CCP hates Muslims? I don’t think they have enough Islamic principles in their hearts to fill a thimble.
