Victorious Taliban Hold Massive Military Parade — Compliments of You-Know-Who – Opinion

Taliban forces held a victorious navy parade in Kabul on Sunday, replete with top-notch U.S. Military gear deserted by the hapless President of the US when he skedaddled out of Afghaninastion — solely for political functions — with out a lot as alerting NATO allies or the Afghan authorities, together with inexplicably strolling away from the strategic Bagram Air Base.

Yeah, Joe did that.

The Particular Investigator for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), in its most up-to-date quarterly report back to Congress, stated the U.S.-backed Afghan navy possessed greater than 150 plane earlier than the Taliban takeover, together with 23 A-29 “Tremendous Tucano” turboprop ground-attack plane, three C-130 transport plane, 33 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, and 43 smaller MD 530 choppers.

As well as, not less than 600,000+ smalls-arm M16s, M249 SAWs, M24 sniper techniques, 50 caliber machine weapons, 1,394 M203 grenade launchers, M134 miniguns, 20mm Gatling weapons, rockets and rocket launchers, communications gear, 1000’s of vans, and thousands and thousands of rounds of ammunition had been deserted by the fleeing U.S. navy, as properly.

Talking of Biden’s Afghanistan debacle, as is the case with the Biden provide chain disaster and all these container ships floating off the California coast for weeks-turning-to-months, have you ever observed how each debacles — together with the Biden Border Disaster™ have disappeared from the “mainstream” information cycle?

Yeah, me too.

Nonetheless, the victorious navy parade included dozens of U.S.-made M1117 armored safety automobiles, Russian Mi-17 helicopters overhead, Taliban extremists carrying M4 riles — actual assault rifles, by the best way — and different American weapons, reported the Washington Examiner.

The report additionally stated U.S. navy personnel eliminated or destroyed some U.S. know-how and gear forward of the end-of-August departure. Biden & Co. left behind 70 MRAP — Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected — gentle tactical automobiles and 27 Humvees, and 73 inoperable plane inoperable, Gen. Frank McKenzie informed reporters on the time, in response to the Examiner.

Ridiculously and predictably, the Biden administration tried to allay the concern of People over leaving an enormous quantity of navy {hardware} to essentially the most brutal terrorist group on the planet, suggesting the gear would turn into inoperable in time on account of lack of elements or skilled mechanics to service the delicate gear.

Only one downside.

As Protection One reported in early September, the final word winner of 20 years of conflict in Afghanistan is probably going China.

The plane and armored automobiles left behind when U.S. forces withdrew will give China—by way of their keen companions, the Taliban—a broad window into how the U.S. navy builds and makes use of a few of its most essential instruments of conflict.

Count on the Chinese language navy to make use of this windfall to create — and export to consumer states — a brand new technology of weapons and techniques tailor-made to U.S. vulnerabilities, stated a number of specialists who spent years constructing, buying, and testing a number of the gear that the Taliban now controls.

Josh Lospinoso, CEO of cybersecurity firm Shift5, informed Protection One it’s probably solely a matter of time earlier than subtle U.S. navy deserted to the Taliban comes again to chunk America within the behind — courtesy of China.

“The one purpose we aren’t seeing extra assaults is due to a veil of secrecy round these techniques. When you pierce that veil of secrecy … it massively accelerates the timeline for with the ability to construct cyberweapons.”

Yup, Joe, once more.

In different Afghanistan information, as my colleague Nick Arama reported in late October, Biden official Beneath Secretary of Protection for Coverage Colin Kahl ridiculously insisted throughout questioning by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) that the Biden administration didn’t go away Americans behind Taliban strains. Can’t make it up. Besides that’s precisely what Kahl did.

The more serious a part of all about each certainly one of Biden’s crises is a mirrored image of the 1971 film title, “The Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight.” Even worse, hapless Joe Biden and his equally hapless administration are rattling good marksmen — they simply purposely proceed to shoot on the improper targets.
