WASHINGTON — For months, the Biden administration was stockpiling military equipment for the Taliban before the collapse of the Afghan government. The report comes from Reuters who shares that well over a month before the Taliban's march across the country, the Biden administration was sending military equipment to Afghanistan amid a "planned withdrawal."

The plans of the Biden administration were not very well thought out or executed. But perhaps this was the plan all along.
According to Reuters, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters, "They'll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support, going forward."
The Biden administration had continued to ship new firearms, drones, communication gear, and more to the nation that they had plans to abandon in just a few short weeks. Even as the Taliban takeover continued, the shipments continued. The Taliban has bragged about the equipment they obtained, with videos of helicopters and firearms posted online.
According to one official, reported by Reuters, "the current intelligence assessment was that the Taliban are believed to control more than 2,000 armored vehicles, including U.S. Humvees, and up to 40 aircraft potentially including UH-60 Black Hawks, scout attack helicopters, and ScanEagle military drones." That’s not just a few pieces of military equipment, that’s essentially a start-up kit for a defense force.
Reuters reports that the Biden administration is very concerned about the large amount of equipment that was left behind. According to reports, the administration has contemplated airstrikes to take out large pieces of equipment, but it has yet to put together a plan.
Officials report they are less concerned about the equipment because it is technologically advanced. They state it takes significant maintenance time and training to operate. Perhaps that was before China and Russia both have claimed their interest in Afghanistan.
Both nations will be racing to make friends with the Taliban. They refuse to call the Taliban terrorists and have technology similar to that of the United States. It is possible that they provide the training necessary to the Taliban regime.
While the Biden administration will claim that the equipment left behind was not stockpiled for the Taliban, what other explanation is there? As the Taliban raced across the country, taking it down in just over 1 week, the administration did nothing to stop them. They did not create a plan to evacuate Americans, the military, military equipment, or anything else. It's as if the Biden administration was asleep.

Taliban unit wears US military gear to mock famous WWII photo

An elite Taliban fighting unit known as the Badri 313 Battalion has been spreading propaganda while wearing captured American military gear and posted one photo appearing to mock the iconic World War II photo, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.
It is believed that they came across the gear which used to belong to American soldiers and US allies while going on patrols in the captured city of Kabul. The unit has also been seen driving around in armored Humvees.
The Taliban are also reportedly searching "door to door" for US-involved collaborators and groups at this time. They are also reportedly negotiating with UNICEF on subjects such as women's rights to education.
According to Fox News, the deputy director of the Center for International Policy's Security Assistance Monitor, Elias Yousif, commented:
"When an armed group gets their hands on American-made weaponry, it's sort of a status symbol. It's a psychological win."
"Clearly, this is an indictment of the U.S. security cooperation enterprise broadly. It really should raise a lot of concerns about what is the wider enterprise that is going on every single day, whether that's in the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia," he said on the matter.

It is said that the trio agreed to peacefully handover #Afganistan to #Taliban. Which is why the 350K Forces including 10K AirForce collapsed like dominos in the span of a week only and without a single bullet fired. 1/7 pic.twitter.com/0az3qVymhK

6 Questions we NEED to ask about Afghanistan
Matt Gaetz Says Lloyd Austin 'Might Be the Stupidest Person' to Ever Serve in Presidential Cabinet
Israeli aircraft strike Hamas sites in Gaza as hostilities escalate
Editor's note: US Congressman Matt Gaetz says Lloyd Austin "might be the stupidest person to ever serve in the presidential cabinet." Either that or intentionally stupid on Afghanistan. Well yeah, that is why Austin is there. A proxy to take the heat as the petrodollar collapses along with the American empire. The same reason Biden was placed where he is at as America gets "reset" and its population injected. Matt Gaetz just publicly confirmed it. Sorry, General Austin, no hard feelings but empires fall and so does its military if you have them Covid injected.
If the Taliban have closed the gates to the airport in Kabul and if the Taliban are confiscating American passports as reported, do we have a large scale hostage situation/crisis in the works here?
Did anyone else notice that while America is dealing with the events in Afghanistan reenforced by its state media agents, the Israelis are bombing the shit out of Syria, Lebanon and Hamas? With Afghanistan "falling" with the Americans leaving, this is all part of the Greater Israel Project. It's apparently expansion time.
Deploy this...
