Taliban Bring Back ‘Virtue’ Ministry, Stoning and Amputations for ‘Major Sins’

I never stated the equipment was out of date. What I said was none of it was equipment not found in the military of other nations, and you seem to forget that the Taliban has been the beneficiary of US equipment from victories they'd have in skirmishes with the ANSF.
Well whatever weaponry they were able to win over earlier has now increased dramatically. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58356045
 
So far ( the investigation is ongoing)...lol...Keep FAILING and have a great day, Carl.
There was no insurrection. Once again low information Leftists are being used to undermine their own country.

"In political jargon, a useful idiot is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders.[1][2] The term was originally used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation.[1] The term has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but this attribution is unsubstantiated"
 
" We had actually a very good talk with the leader of the Taliban" Trump March 2020
I'm sure they did. You know what else didnt happen? The Taliban didnt dare so much fire a shot at US troops. They didnt try to overthrow the Afghanistan government. Hell...I'd bet money if Biden hadnt run out in the middle of the night like a ****ing bitch and demonstrated quite clearly to the people of Afghanistan, the military of Afghanistan, and the government of Afghanistan just how committed he was to completely abandoning them, the Taliban would be a helluva lot less likely to have taken over.

They’ve already started charging the heavy hitters. They went into it expecting and hoping to charge people with insurrection, but thus far they haven’t found anyone to bring those charges against let alone expect to get a conviction. It seems likely at this point that nobody is going to be charged with insurrection.

Yes I'm sure the Taliban were originally planning to be on their best behavior before Biden withdrew..........:LOL:

You arent 'sure' of anything other than the FACT of what Biden did and what the results are. The fact that you and so many others are hell bent on screeching "yeah...bu....buh......but......TRUMMPPP!!!!" speaks volumes.

Biden didnt follow Trumps plan but if that WAS Trumps plan what kind of a ****ing MORON do you have to be to look at that plan and think "OK....lets do it!"

What plan??? Trump wanted to leave last xmas? He only left 2800 troops in country when Biden took office.

They were negotiating with us throughout the process and even offered to let us control Kabul after the Afghani government fled. But, we didn't want to take responsibility so we allowed the Taliban to take over.

Trump wanted to leave by May, but the Biden administration put everything on hold when they came in. They then picked September 11th as their pull out date. But then sometime in June Biden's advisers told him that they only needed 120 days to withdraw safely. So they revised their date to the end of August. Then all hell broke loose, the Taliban took over Kabul, and Biden refused to revert back to the September 11th date despite our allies in the region begging for us to do so to help them get their citizens out safely.

The Afghanistan withdrawal was a mess of epic proportions and is one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in a very long time.

They were always going to take over the country after we left Anyone that thinks differently hasn't been paying attention to their history. Also link me to your source saying the Taliban were going to allow us to control Kabul.

Yes.. "after we left." We let them take it over while we were still there which resulted in a shit show at the only airport we had people left to evacuate from and it resulted in us leaving our people and allies behind. That didn't have to happen.

What they're actually able to do with them is what remains to be seen. The ANSF had a problem in this regard even with US contractors there to help; shortages of pilots, mechanics etc. were known issues which don't suddenly disappear because the Taliban has possession of them.

We've known this for weeks. This isn't new information. Look up General Frank McKenzie. He was at the Taliban meeting where we turned down their offer.

Indeed. This has been a war of attrition throughout most of the time the US/NATO has been there. The Taliban made itself the thorn in the elephant's foot and understood they weren't the ones expending many resources to be there. The Afghan government had no leverage because it wasn't particularly popular either, so it was always a matter of "when" and not "if".
 
The Taliban were creating the terms for the retreat, keeping Americans hostage, taking billions in US weaponry, making sure no translators and other allies were able to leave and they've already begun their killing spree.

What "Peace" are you referring to?? Are there any treaties in place? A guarantee that Americans and their Allies will never get attacked again? Who's feeding you this crap???
Wow! That's quite the fantasy world you're living in. The Taliban were in constant communication US forces in order to deconflict and coordinate. They drove and escorted Americans through checkpoints and through airport gates, they coordinated with US forces in securing Kabul Airport. They may even have prevented some attacks. Why? Because they wanted US troops to be able to leave and they share an enemy with us, ISIS-K. So antagonizing us would not be in their best interest. They also have problems of their own. One is an economy on the brink of total collapse with banks cautioning that they are quickly running out of cash. The hardline cabinet they have appointed is clearly points to an ongoing internal power struggle within the Taliban itself, between the hardliners and the moderate progressives. They also have ISIS-K to deal with as well as protests and breakaway factions in various provinces. So they're going to be pretty busy for the time being as they have a lot on their plates.

The claim by Trump that 88 billion in US weaponry was left behind is not even remotely close to being true. First of all that figure represents the sum total of the funding that the United States Congress appropriated for the reconstruction of Afghanistan’s security sector and what's more the Afghan government and security forces collapsed before all that money could even be spent . Secondly the primary cost driver for the Afghan security forces has been consistently been the salaries of the security personnel. Not military equipment. Bottomline, the US never came anywhere close to spending 88 billion on weaponry and military for the Afghan security forces. Because thirdly a large portion of those funds would have also been spent on consumables. Such as fuel and ammunition. Another likely 10% of it or so on Afghan military and police training. And finally after 20 years of endless war not all of the weapons and equipment the US had funded would still be in existence. Large number of the guns, vehicles, radios, etc have surely been destroyed over the course of all that fighting.

And can't believe that you have never heard of the expression winning the war but losing the peace. I.E. post bellum Civil War and Reconstruction period. Well then again maybe I can
 
We should have trained and armed "The Afghan Women", and make sure they understood the necessity to shoot any Afghan Man who claim women need to hide themselves, stay in the homes and submit here entire life to the dictations of Afghan Men.

Then these women could have wiped out these assholes Taliban Men and any other men who push and promote that archaic ignorance of trying to make women, non persons with no rights to live her own life.

The women could clean this mess up in no time... and they would be free to raise their sons and daughters to respect the individual of each other as being fully equal in all things.

It would have put every Afghan man on notice, that he brings that Gender Based Tyrant Bullshit, that he would be made non existent!!!

The day is coming where women will have to take a stand, not only there, but when women do take that stand, it will reverberate globally, and then we will get immediate change .... because there will be no place for rabid tyrant minded men to hide, and he damn sure better not go into a woman's living quarter and try to dictate over her...

Every Afghan woman should have been provided weapons and ammunition's and we would not see the Taliban trying or doing any of this vile they are doing.
 
What four other people were killed that night and how was Trump responsible? Do you have links to any of this?
You don't know? Where the heck have you been all this time? In Russian troll training?
