An anonymous Telegram channel quoting an unknown source? You absolutely can make this up.

It is thought Taliban fighters may have stolen as many as half a million US weapons and up to 50,000 vehicles.

Is it really stolen if it’s left behind and no one comes back for it?

I wonder how many M1A tanks were left behind. Putin really needs those given the fact that German Leopard 2's, Challenger 2's and M1A's are headed to Ukraine. The 70 ton beasts eat the 45 ton T72's for lunch.

usable or close enough to usable that the russians could use??? zero, same with aircraft

I would put the chance of any mbt from there or aircraft at less than 5%.

should be zero if dumbasses in washington didnt frick up the withdrawl

the article annoys me though, acting liek the taliban defeated us....they didnt and couldnt do shite until we abandoned areas because biden is a fricking idiot. needed to leave but not like that.

the policy of leaving behind equipment anywhere needs to be changed. i dont care if its cheaper.

Reminds me of an old Eastwood spaghetti western where he worked for both sides of these crooked gangs to make a buck. Looks like the military contractors are doing the same thing or watched the movie.

I guess we about to find out the definition of "inoperable"

That. I don't remember hearing about anything being blowed the F up.
I do remember videos of the Taliban taking joyrides in American helicopters with people hanging from them.

When I bought my 68 M715 I asked a vet friend why they had such a bigass fuel filler. He said all mil vehicles have that so if they're left behind you drop a grenade in it to blow it up.. that used to be the definition of rendered inoperable. Not reparable and no usable parts.
Anything short of that or dumping in the ocean was not rendering inoperable.

It's amazing how much doesn't change with the military. My old 68 5/4 ton truck shares a lot of parts with the trucks still in service, including fuel filler caps.

I'll bet Big Guy and Hunter are just sick about not being in on the Taliban/Russia deal! The brokers fee would have been a killer!

Sorry, no. You can't call yourself a conservative if you support the WEF/LWO's efforts in Ukraine.

The same people bringing you equity, Antifa, quotas, vax mandates, abortion up to birth, LGBQ+, 87,000 IRS agents, swamp corruption, MIC and on and on infinitum, are the same people bringing you this war.

If one does support intervention in Ukraine, does that mean one also supports

Because I'm not sure what any of the above has to do with the war.
