'This Is Infuriating': Twitter Users React to New Photos of Taliban Equipment

Leah Barkoukis

Twitter users are once again blasting President Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal after new photos show just some of the military equipment the Taliban now possesses.

The pictures show just part of the estimated $7 billion in equipment left behind, which included aircraft, weapons, communications equipment, night vision goggles, body armor, and biometric devices.

The Pentagon has repeatedly downplayed the PR nightmare.

"The $7.12 billion figure cited in the department's recent report to Congress corresponds to [Afghan National Defense and Security Forces] equipment and not U.S. military equipment used by our forces," a Defense Department spokesperson said in a statement last year. "Nearly all equipment used by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan was either retrograded or destroyed prior to our withdrawal."

Late in the game realization of what being a useful fool to our enemies, by Joe Biden and  by generous democrats can bring forth.  Just like i told yah even that far back/long ago.  A LOT of hungry Americans have lived out on the streets since then.
dementia?, yah mean by Biden Lewinskies?
