Nice going! Do anyone think we have learned a lesson in all of this enough to not do it again?

If the concept of the "deep state" were to actually exist...is this a good example? A non-partisan recurring cluster fuck of the American Tax payers to the tune of 2 Trillion dollars that isn't the first or last time it will happen(funding endless wars or funding very wealthy companies why have no vested interest in an end goal except profits)?

 

[Bud_Spencer]

I do hope Joe gift-wrapped it all for them so they won't come and kill us again.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Yes, but none of the weapons are AR15s so there’s nothing to worry about. All they got were tanks, M4s, drones, helicopters, planes, grenade launchers, and other relatively harmless pieces of equipment.

Joe Bob's gonna have to give up his AR, but Mahmood is welcome to that fully-armed Blackhawk.

 

[phrodeau]

Now the Taliban is prepared to defend against China and Russia.

How soon will Joe Bob be giving that up?

Yup, the corporate "deep state" easily gets suckers like BoBo to fight, fueling military contractor profits for decades, and then gets the same suckers to further support this recurring scheme by baiting them into cultural wars against scapegoats.

It's not that difficult to capitalize on the macho vulnerabilities of the American cowboy myth.

Right, just like the Viet Cong did after we surrendered in that country.

If that senile turnip in the WH could focus for more than a few seconds on anything but his Matlock reruns, he'd likely get around to fulfilling that campaign promise.

Biden made no such promises, but it pleases me that you and Joe Bob think he did.

Right as usual:

NSSF, the trade association for the firearm industry, is focusing on former Vice President Joe Biden’s radical antigun campaign promise to ban, register and confiscate the most popular selling centerfire rifles – the modern sporting rifle – sold in America today. Biden borrowed a page from the failed campaign of Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke to craft an agenda that would hobble Constitutionally-protected rights for law-abiding Americans.

About 85 billion worth, but add a fleet of MRAPs, armored up Humvees, the best night vision in the World, advanced radio communications systems, our Biometric and personnel databases, various artillery types, mountains of munitions, and explosives. samples of which are already being examined and reverse engineered by China and Russia. Doncha just love how they hand over our national treasure all over the World as we owed it to them?

And keep in mind, President Turnip says his plan worked perfecty. IOW, this gang of idiots planned on arming the Taliban with weapons we paid for.

That'd be an airstrike or six if it were up to me.

Nothing about confiscation except in specific cases of enforcing existing laws in Biden’s promises. Read them.

American free enterprise...all this equipment must be replaced. Good for business. Keeps American jobs. Military equipment is disposable.

Behold the glories of broken windows. Henry Hazlitt debunked this decades ago.

I heard Trump say his exit plan was rejected by the Biden people. I don't believe that Trump would have allowed those weapons to fall into enemy hands if that possibility was presented to him. He was against even being there let alone handing our weapons technology to the Chinese, Russians, or the Taliban.

I recently conducted a review of the US-led Afghan peace process, which concluded that the Taliban leadership had never been seriously interested in sincerely negotiating or reaching agreement with the government in Kabul. In talks in Qatar, the movement basically strung the US along, extracting concessions while giving nothing meaningful in return. Among those men who marched into Kabul on Sunday were fighters, who had been among the 5,000 Taliban freed from jail last year, under a supposed confidence-building measure foisted on the Afghan government by US envoy Khalilzad.

On February 29th, 2020, the US signed an agreement with the Taliban which provided for a full US and international troop withdrawal on a tight 15-month timetable. The agreement was supposedly conditional, as the Taliban promised to take measures to restrict the activities of other terrorist groups and to negotiate a ceasefire and a political settlement with the government side.

But throughout the Khalilzad peace process, the Taliban leadership’s strategic intent was to grab power by force and re-establish its Islamic Emirate with a complete monopoly of power.
