Default Taliban's next move? Invade Pakistan and steal nuclear weapons!?

Now that the Taliban has tens of billions worth of leftover U.S. military weapons, vehicles, and equipment (thanks to the Biden admin), they are now well equipped to take on neighboring countries, including Pakistan, which has a substantial number of Taliban supporters and a nuclear weapons arsenal.

Pakistan has nuclear weapons and 200 million people, many of whom celebrate Taliban victory.

Let's hope that the Taliban victory doesn't spark a massive war.

They should have destroyed them as soon as they saw the Gov't "army" standing down to the Taliban. that would have been part of a good exit plan.
So........................ how did they get there in the first place? They got them into Afghanistan and should be able to get them out.

Biden has blood on his hands and he had better know that God and the free world will hold him accountable for this whole fiasco and most especially if we get attacked again .

No doubt!

Obviously this is sarcasm and quoting Hillary.

The "difference it makes" is:

1. US credibility lost to its allies

2. This will embolden our enemies to press their advantage

3. 40,000 US citizens are trapped, with no plan for escape. They may be killed or held hostage. Like Hillary, Biden does not give a rip about anyone, as long as he gets his payday.

4. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans who aided the US will be killed or tortured.

5. Billions of dollars of military equipment has fallen into the hands of a terrorist nation

6. Biden has allowed China an avenue into the Middle East they had not had before this.

7. Information regarding sensitive US military and intelligence material has fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Just last month these are the same dudes who executed 22 Afghan commandos after they surrendered....and then posted that **** on social medias.
Maybe those particular Afghan Commandos were the CIA trained ones that committed atrocities.

It is one thing to say that the US should have done an air strike on them but quite another to crucify those there over a lack of action.
Not blaming the boots on the ground, I'm blaming Joe Biden for not having a plan to destroy them, AND get the boots on the ground out.
