Here’s the List of Billions in Military Equipment the Biden Administration Left Behind for the Taliban, FREE! All paid for by your Tax Dollars.
I know I've always been pissed off by the many ways the crooked politicians through federal government pays off the bribes they got the by giving their toadies grants and gifts through wastes our money, from millions spent putting lizards on treadmills to thousands spent on art classes in Kenya. But regular government waste pales in comparison to the appalling reality that the US just left billions in taxpayer-purchased military equipment behind in Afghanistan—to fall right into the hands of the Taliban. This now makes the Taliban the biggest ARMS DEALER in the world after the US, CHINA AND RUSSIA. Yup those Haji fuckers are selling our Tax Payer funded Military gear to the highest bidder and guess who is the most thrilled about it? The Military Industrial Complex who makes this hardware. The Folks in the Military Industrial Complex pay the Political Class to leave weapons behind so the US will then use Tax Payer Dollars to replenish the depleted stockpiles. Then they kickback big bucks through the retired Generals and other channels back to the politicians.
Now they are doing the same thing in the Ukraine! When we give $10 Billion to teh Ukraine its not give as one Big Check. Its given as a credit to buys arms from America. The General Dynamics and the Raytheons and the Boeings get the orders for the Military Hardware and they ship it to the Ukraine and they kickback money to the Politicians. Its a nice little schtick they have going on. Money Laundering in the name of saving countries! Its big bucks!
Make no mistake I am not against us having the military hardware to fight anywhere in the world but I am total disgusted by the collaboration between the Biden Generals and the Military Industrial complex to abandon all this hardware in one battle field so they can order and produce and make MORE hardware for the Next war.
The Times of London reports that the US simply abandoned a truly astounding arsenal of military equipment and weapons. This reportedly includes up to 22,174 Humvee vehicles, nearly 1,000 armored vehicles, 64,363 machine guns, and 42,000 pick-up trucks and SUVs. So, too, the list of allegedly abandoned weaponry includes up to 358,530 assault rifles, 126,295 pistols, and nearly 200 artillery units. Oh, and the Taliban will likely inherit state-of-the-art military helicopters, warplanes, and other aircraft from the US, too.
The US sent this equipment to Afghanistan to arm the Afghan security forces/alternative government we unsuccessfully sought to prop up. (That government has now collapsed and the Taliban is retaking control.) While some of our equipment may have been taken with US personnel when they fled Afghanistan, much of it is difficult to transport, and most of it likely remained behind amid a chaotic withdrawal. As a result, it will eventually fall into Taliban hands, if it hasn’t already.
This graphic from the Times sums up the maximum amount of equipment that was abandoned. They say it would have cost about $ 2 Billion to take them across the border into India or the Philippines and then ship them to where the US might need them or sell them at 50% discount to countries that want to buy them. Hell anything would be better than giving our enemies this arsenal for FREE. ( Or was it FREE ? Maybe Hunter Biden and his crew secretly negotiated a Haji "Kick Back" to the Biden Generals and the Big Guy Biden! )
“The Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world,” Congressman Jim Banks, a veteran, lamented. “But it's not just weapons. They have night vision goggles, body armor, and unbelievably, the Taliban now has biometric devices which have the fingerprints, eye scans and biographical information of all of the Afghans who helped us and were on our side over the last 20 years. There is no plan by the administration to get those weapons back. There is no plan to account for any of this equipment or these weapons.”
This is worse than just waste—this taxpayer money actually went toward funding weaponry that will only do harm in the hands of the Taliban. Even if, hopefully, they are not in direct conflict with the US in the future, the Taliban will at the very least use this weaponry in pursuit of the oppression of women, LGBT people, and others under Sharia law. And they’ll do all of it with exponentially advanced military capabilities, courtesy of the US taxpayer.
At first glance, this waste, while especially egregious, isn’t particularly surprising. After all, the government is notoriously inefficient and wasteful. To understand why, consider that in everyday life, we typically spend our own money. Or, if we’re spending other peoples' money, we’re usually spending it on ourselves. Either way, we’re incentivized to shop wisely.
Yet government employees are, as Nobel-Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman famously explained, ultimately responsible for spending other peoples’ money on other people. Government officials don’t have any skin in the game. Therefore, they have no real incentive to be frugal or get a good deal.
And when it comes to war, the bad incentives are even worse. The government is spending other peoples’ money on other people in another country halfway across the globe. As the US taxpayer’s multi-billion-dollar gift to the Taliban shows, that’s a recipe for not just waste, but disaster.
DAMN THE WHOLE SOROS BIDEN REGIME.
ITS TIME TO TAKE BACK AMERICA. IT STARTS WITH YOU!
