To re-ignite the war? The corruption never ends. This is disgusting.
Reuters is now reporting that despite the Biden administration’s planned withdrawal from the country, they continued sending significant amounts of military equipment to the country.
Just about one month ago, the Afghan Ministry of Defense posted pictures on social media of seven brand new military helicopters arriving in Kabul courtesy of the United States.
“They’ll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support going forward,” said feckless U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin a few days later in a news briefing.
Why would the administration ship firearms, drones, communication gear, etc., to a country they planned on abandoning within months?
Lloyd Austin was exposed in Wikileaks as acquiring millions of dollars to be stashed into Eastern European bank accounts. I think it was $12M. I wonder where it came from. The emails were to his contact and told him to take his usual percentage. How many other millions and bank accounts does Austin have?
Trump Admin entered into a written agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all US troops by 5/1/2021. In doing so, it legitimized the Taliban.
The US had facilitated the release of 5000 Taliban fighters from Afghan prisons in 2020.
Only 2500 US troops remained in Afghanistan when Biden took office. To put this into perspective, the troops that remained were a fraction of the number of people who attended the Trump rally and gathered at the Capital on 1/6.
Speculation:
Equipment was on order to be left as a parting gift to the Taliban to fight al-Qaeda, or
Given how quickly the Afghan government fell and once the former Afghan President and Parliament fled, it was beyond dicey what would happen next- thus the need for more equipment.
As per usual, the US military industrial complex remains the primary beneficiary of the US funding crapola in Afghanistan , going back to 1979- 89 and then 2001- 2021 for 40 plus years.
With the Talibans, there are no formal style death penalty like they do in America. They just kill you on the street and then say it was a death sentence carried out. By their government. Islam. Unreal...

My coworker is telling me troops are being sent overseas but they are very quiet about where they are going and what they are doing. Given I wouldn't trust this administration to cook my breakfast for me much less run a military, and top brass in our military are a bunch of woke Marxists, I don't have much faith what we are doing will end well....then again I felt the same way when the neocons ran the military.... Who can you trust among the swamp?

As we have seen with biden, and most dems, the left hand does NOT know what the right hands is doing.
I would NOT be surprised these weapons we slayted for a long time and biden NEVER TOLD those doing the sending that he was going to withdrawal.
