We left a shitload of military equipment over there like Humvees.  You would think we would have taken that stuff home with us before leaving.

Nope, they never take most of that stuff back.

In WW2 they dumped the tanks and planes off the ships into the sea.

Crazy.

All the arms and equipment given to the Afghan Army went right into the Taliban's hands.

We should make friends with them and they can give Russia and China fits in the future.

Remains of Dead Afghan Found in Landing Gear of US Military Plane

Human remains have been found in the landing gear of a U.S. Air Force plane that took off from the Kabul airport, after Afghans were seen clambering onto evacuating aircraft in a desperate attempt to flee the country.

The C-17 plane’s crew declared an emergency after its landing gear wouldn’t go up and, after it landed, found the human remains in the wheel well, the Washington Post reported, citing two sources. A POLITICO report said the remains belonged to one Afghan person.

Stowaways who hide in plane’s wheel wells face a high risk of death from falling or being crushed by the landing gear. The lack of oxygen and low temperature during the flight could also be fatal.

Footage from the Kabul international airport on Monday showed a throng of Afghans trying to board departing planes to escape the country, after Taliban fighters entered Afghanistan’s capital city on Sunday.

One shocking clip showed people holding on to the outside of a taxiing U.S. C-17 plane, as hundreds of others ran alongside it on the tarmac. In another clip, people were seen falling to their deaths from the aircraft in midair.

It is unclear if the plane where the body was found is the same one in the videos. At least seven people died in the airport chaos, including several who fell from a C-17 flight, the Associated Press reported, citing American officials. U.S. Defense Spokesman John Kirby said U.S. troops had shot dead two armed Afghans at the airport.

Although the Taliban has said it would not harm civilians, many Afghans, including those who have worked for the U.S. troops and other Western governments, fear retaliation and rights abuses under the fundamentalist group’s hardline rule.

With land borders controlled by the Taliban, the Kabul airport, now guarded by American troops, is the only way for Afghans to flee.

A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III evacuated about 640 Afghans from Kabul on Sunday, according to Defense One, even though the cargo plane was designated to carry 134 soldiers along with their equipment. A photo from the flight showed Afghans sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in the packed cabin.

U.S. troops temporarily closed the airport on Monday to clear the crowds on the runway. Evacuation flights resumed on Tuesday morning, according to Reuters.

Since U.S. troops began their pullout from Afghanistan after a 20-year war with the Taliban, the Islamist group took over the country’s regional capitals one by one as it advanced towards Kabul. Having taken over the capital, the Taliban seeks to establish a new government based on its hardline interpretation of Islamic law.

The Soviet War in Afghanistan in pictures, 1979-1989

The Soviet War in Afghanistan was a nine-year period involving the Soviet forces and the Mujahideen insurgents that were fighting to overthrow Afghanistan’s Marxist People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) government.

The Soviet Union supported the government while the rebels found support from a variety of sources including the United States (in the context of the Cold War) and Pakistan. The conflict was a proxy war between the two superpowers, who never actually met in direct confrontation.

The actual reasons why the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan are far more complicated. The Soviet Union saw itself as being nearly entirely encircled by enemies. To the west stood Western Europe, which was filled with NATO forces, nuclear weapons, and American bases.

To the Southeast was China, which had nearly a million troops along the border with the USSR. By this point, relations between China and the USSR were just awful, there were frequent deadly skirmishes across the Ussuri River, and China was openly working with the United States to contain the Soviet Union by 1979.

Harris having any part or pretending to have any part in US policy is laughable. I'm sure the government that's actually in charge is asking for Harris' input.  ::)

Taliban Gained 'Fair Amount' of US Defense Equipment: WH

https://www.newsmax.com/us/guns/2021/08/17/id/1032756/

'The White House acknowledged Tuesday that the Taliban had amassed a significant amount of US military equipment after seizing control of Afghanistan following two decades of war with American forces.

Pictures and videos have shown the Taliban with firearms and vehicles that Pentagon troops used or provided to the Afghan national security forces, as well as advanced UH-60 Black Hawk attack helicopters and other equipment at the Kandahar airport.

"We don't have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone. But certainly, a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban," said White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

"Obviously, we don't have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us," he said.

Sullivan said losing control of millions of dollars worth of military supplies to an enemy is an example of "the difficult choices a president faces ... in the context of the end of a 20-year war."

He noted that the Black Hawks had been supplied to Afghan government forces to help battle the Taliban insurgency.

But the government forces succumbed to the Islamist insurgents quickly, and gave up control of large stores of weaponry and their helicopters.'

We were there just to spend money with defense contractors.


I was at a defense expo in Poland two years ago and I shared a booth called the "American Pavilion". This is where a number of US companies, mine included, were able to setup shop at a reduced cost. I happened to strike up a conversation with a guy in the booth area who represented a soldier tracking system company and found out he had served two tours in Afghanistan.


He gave me the rundown. After about a year or two there the mission went from finding Bin Laden and beating up the Taliban to simply occupying the country and hoping the US could turn it into a democracy (or more accurately a republic). He said that was pretty much impossible given the culture and history- so he realized that it was just another endless war the US was in (his words).


His job there was to act as a scout and call in airstrikes on enemy positions. He told me that he was involved in at least 100 missions where US planes bombed the Hell out of terrorist training camps- but as soon as one was blown up another quickly formed. Seems there was no shortage of radicals.


The only people who made out after 20 years were defense contactors, politicians who got kickbacks, and local Afghani officials who were corrupt as all get out.

Thanks for this post. People with half a brain realized some time ago this whole thing was about making Afghanistan yet another globohomo outpost in which American degeneracy, mass homosexuality, mass whoredom, hip hop, anti-white hatred, black worship, female careerism and anti-natalism, and the scam of democracy could flourish.

True, but I’ve been hearing a lot of bullshit coming from the right, as well. Levin still acting like this was a legit mission. Pray tell Mark, why did the Afghan Army immediately throw in the towel against an opposition with less manpower and firepower?



On Monday’s Mark Levin show, President Biden has just reversed 20 years of enormous progress in Afghanistan, which was not a 20-year war. The US has been supplying air power and intelligence to the Afghan forces since 2014. The Taliban is not known to be one of the world’s strongest armies, but when Biden makes the mistake to end all of that abruptly you get an emboldened enemy who didn't have an air force but might certainly have one now, given the number of helicopters and equipment left behind by Biden's rapid troop withdrawal.

Levin is a conservative and Conservatism is for losers.

Bush #2, Obama, Trump, Biden... they all just told and retold the same bullshit lie. Not one single citizen of Afghanistan wanted us there. They always hated us and they always will.

Twenty years of pure folly. 

Laughable.

One benefit of fighting endless wars is that it hones the edge of the military.

The soldiers become experienced fighters and the military progresses in tactics and tech.

It costs too much though and eventually it bankrupts the country.

Yeah, it’s sure honed and progresses when it’s filled with 80-IQ drones, psychopaths, criminals, ex-gang members, women, and the alphabet crew.

Regrets: Trump would beat Biden today, more women and blacks support



A slew of new polls have come out this week showing the shrinking support for and approval of President Joe Biden, his average now below 50%.

The details of the survey, which samples more Democrats than Republicans, showed that Trump would win more women and blacks than he did in 2020 when he lost to Biden, 46.8%-51.3%.

Why all the worry?

The most popular President in history will meet with the smartest person he has ever met (Hunter) and solve this in a matter of minutes.

Either that or he will remain in hiding for another week and reaffirm his joke of a presidency.

The Taliban has declared that Afghanistan will be a drug-free country. Oh dear!

This is what our “honed” and “progressive” troops were doing with some of their time there, patrolling poppy fields to help fuel our own heroine trade here!

And now the Taliban are lounging in the $700,000,000 U.S. Embassy.

They thank the US taxpayers and Joe Biden.

Good! The US Empire is approaching the finish line! And now it only stands for oligarchy, technocracy, tyranny, anti-white racism, whoredom, degeneracy, celebrity worship, hip hop, sports ball (which has thoroughly degenerated), man-on-man anal sex, and “freedom” (to be a loser, freak, public nuisance, and eyesore, that is).

I’m waiting for the Taliban to send 150,000 - 200,000 of Afghanistan’s worst criminals and mentally disabled people to France, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries.

Then we can discuss the total ramifications of JoeJill Biden’s incompetence.
