ENRON was a huge contributor to Bush's presidential campaign. They needed a gas pipeline across Afghanistan to their Dabhol power plant. When negotiations with the Taliban failed Bush invaded Afghanistan.

Follow the money.

And now tens of billions to Ukraine. Again, follow the money. It is all a fraud by Biden and others.

As an aside, we and the EU are keeping this Biden-provided war going when it could have ended* long ago. But no, we keep the killing going because there is profit to be made.

*Had Zelensky ignored Biden's whispers about NATO and had he [Zelensky] instead gone the neutrality route as Austria did c. 1955 there wouldn't even have been a war.

Follow the money.

The U.S. Department of Defense found that roughly $7 billion worth of military equipment transferred to Afghanistan security forces remained in the country during the Taliban takeover in August 2021. ​

​

According to a congressionally mandated DOD report, military assistance delivered to Kabul over the course of 16 years included equipment ranging from air-to-surface missiles, night vision surveillance and Humvees first reported CNN.​

​

​

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have criticized the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that ultimately lead to the death of 13 U.S. service members and the collapse of the Afghan government. ​

​

Many on the Hill have also voiced frustration that deadly technology was left in the hands of the very group the U.S. toppled 20 years prior. ​

​

"After more than 16 years of combat operations, DOD estimates that $7.12 billion of this equipment remains in Afghanistan in varying states of repair," Lodewick said. "It is important to remember that the $7.12 billion figure cited in the Department’s recent report to Congress corresponds to ANDSF equipment and not U.S. military equipment used by our forces. ​

​

"Nearly all equipment used by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan was either retrograded or destroyed prior to our withdrawal and is not part of the $7.12 billion figure cited in the report," he added.​

Did you expect Biden to remove all the weapons and equipment Trump left behind?????

Biden didn't even try to do a fucking thing. Fact.
He threw out the withdrawal agreement to try to make a big speech on 9/11

How did that work out for his dumbass puppetmasters?

Were they able to stay in Afghanistan until 9/11? No.

Meanwhile, Americans deserve at least as many guns of the same type as Biden gave the Taliban. For free, but they were already paid for.

I want an M40 like Biden gave the Taliban, dammit!

I know it's not an m4 or m16 or m249 like the other guns, but that's what I want!

Fool. They didn't have enough troops to secure the highway to Bagram.

 

[The Duke]

STFU moron. They didn't need to secure anything if the Trump agreement had been followed.
There was a deal for the Taliban not to attack, stupid. Biden fucked that all up, but the Taliban pretty much still held to their end of the bargain. They acted like real men. True Story.
They made a deal and stuck to it, unlike Biden the POS. Trump honored his end of the bargain, too. The weak link is Biden and his handlers.

Pretty sure Afghanistan started well before those traitors were in office. They did nothing to stop it, like Trump did. Xiden could not stop the Trump withdrawal. He could fuck it up, and he did.

Yes, it is done with several nations we invaded.

planes and ships.

The same way we left.

These Trumpers are sycophantic morons. The Taliban acted like real men? Do you know that for a fact because you fellated them?

If anything they were acting strategically because they didn't want to start back up conflict with American troops when they were about to get their country back. But sure, Real Men. The Duke knows because he gets wood every time someone mentions the Taliban.

~~~~~~
Most of the materiel was to be used Afghan National Guard that folded when Joey Xi Bai Dung ordered Bagram AFB closed in the middle of the night.

The Afghan National Guard was going to fold no matter when or how we left.

Do you think it was an accident that Trump left the actual Afghan government out of all the negations for our withdrawal?

Anyone with more than half a brain knew when we left the Taliban would take over, this is why part of our leaving agreement was to help the Taliban gain international recognition as a legit government.
