It took us and allies how many years to "secure" Afghanistan? How many days or weeks will it take for Taliban to take it all back.

Pretty sure it's a hornets nest kicked over in Afghanistan now. What a cluster flock.

It might be near Hiroshima time

It was H time after 9/11 happened.
We wouldnt be in the current quagmire if that had been used.

Imagine if a foreign country took us over for 20 years then did a crummy job of leaving. Hope our guys are not wasted by Biden.

Like every war since WWII our military does not lose, our politicians just end the fight and start a new one.

Probably would have been better to take our equipment with us. I wonder if we left enough behind to change the balance of power in the region?

Taliban Seizes U.S. Weapons and Military Equipment as Afghan Takeover Accelerates

The Taliban has seized scores of American weapons and military equipment from Afghan security forces, as the terrorist group accelerates its takeover following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country.

Sadly a LOT of what is being handed to the other side is stuff we gave to the people who we were supposedly leaving to the "good guys". The problem is a lot of the guys we trained just cut and run as soon as we leave.

I sure wish our military would provide arms for citizens of failing local governments... on home soil. Imagine how calm all the major cities would be.

Fear not......Mr Demento will send the Unhappy Hooker to determine the root causes.

Yeah and the Ho should get there about a month after Kabul falls most likely.

88 billion dollars training the Afgan army and they don't survive one month after the pull out. Probably the worst exit strategy in my lifetime.

Thank dementia Joe again. Just add it to his list of failures. Like how he is now begging the Russians and saudis to pump more oil after he shut down American oil production.

So, a place referred to as "the graveyard of empires" got another foreign army to leave after a prolonged conflict, and then returned to its prior state almost immediately upon said army's departure?
¡Que sorpresa!

Didn't really read the whole thread but sand glass is pretty secure and stable.

Now that they are emboldened and enriched, I wonder if we'll see an uptick in terrorism. Their world-wide stage show has been relatively quiet the last few years.

Might want to look at this and see what we left behind on just one base to arm our enemies.....while they threaten our guns.

wonder if i can grow my beard out and get in on that.

Since we have an open border I suspect it won't be long until the guns and gear make an appearance here. Notice the enemy doesn't do a background check or need to register with the NFA.

 

[Barefootdog]

That stupid incompetent senile ******* left all the weapons......and created an open southern boarder.

I find it difficult to believe how simple minded, unaware, self absorbed and complicant the US voter has become. The conduct of congress over the prior 5 years has been seditous. Add the intentional destruction created in the last 6 months and all of this will have consequences costing American lives.

I heard on the news this AM they left functional drones parked on the runways....Can't make this stupidity up.

I have never been this apprehensive about the future. I don't see any happy endings given the publics acceptence of this stupidity.

 

[albin25]

Don't worry, China's going to get them Taliban whipped into shape in no time...
.... and they'll be sending all those SAM's and Drones back to us soon enough!

Just read an article today that said nearly the entire endeavor was paid for with borrowed money.

Holy eff we are effed, in every possible way imaginable.
