"Among the $80 billion worth of high-tech weaponry Joe Biden gifted to the Taliban after his inept and deadly Afghanistan withdraw were 176 artillery pieces, 64,363 belt-fed machine guns, 126,295 handguns and of course 358,530 select-fire assault weapons – real assault weapons.
Most of the assault rifles were equipped with high-end optics. Many had IR lasers, which aren’t much good without night-vision gear. However, Biden left behind 16,035 sets of NVGs.
The small arms were accompanied by 23,132 armored vehicles, both tracked and wheeled, 8,000 cargo trucks, 42,000 pickups and SUVs, 109 helicopters and 65 fixed-wing aircraft, including four C-130s.
Of course, the highest price we paid for Biden’s Afghan retreat wasn’t guns or gear. It was the loss of 13 brave service members who were killed during the final days of the evacuation. Biden honored their sacrifice by fidgeting and checking his watch each time one of their caskets was carried past him on the tarmac of Dover AFB.
Joe Biden created the largest and the most heavily armed terrorist army the world has ever seen. It is only a matter of time before the Taliban projects the force he gave them beyond Afghanistan’s borders. They don’t appear to be in any hurry. Afghans have always played the long game with all things international.
Since the Afghan evac, the Biden-Harris administration has lurched and stumbled from one disaster to another, but they’re happy no one is looking back. We might notice their hypocrisy, which is off the charts. In fact, the Biden-Harris administration has redefined hypocrisy.
To be clear, after he armed foreign terrorists, Joe Biden now wants to disarm American citizens. He wants to ban homemade firearms, even though Americans have been making guns in their homes since before there was a United States of America.
Biden and his millennial handlers are worried more about Americans with 80% Glock-ish frames than they are blood-thirsty foreign terrorists with 100% M4s.
I’m sorry, but no one who supplied arms to terrorists is going to tell me what type of arms I may or may not own, and if I want to build one myself, so be it. It is no one’s business but mine. Besides, Biden’s ban on homemade guns is based on data that ATF cannot verify, and statistics the Justice Department disavowed. It is an infringement, pure and simple, just the latest battle in Biden’s war on our gun rights – a war that’s raging.
Last week, Biden named Steve Dettelbach as his second choice to fill the vacant ATF directorship. Dettelbach is an anti-gun extremist who supports bans on private firearm sales, “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines. My thoughts on Mr. Dettelbach are thus – if he’s such an accomplished gun grabber, maybe Joe should send him to Kabul, where there are plenty of guns for him to grab, all bought and paid for with American taxpayer dollars.
Don’t think for a second Biden has pivoted solely to homemade guns. He reaffirmed his true intent last week during a press conference in the Rose Garden:
“We need Congress to pass universal background checks. Universal background checks. And I know it’s controversial, but I got it done once: Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” Biden said.
He is right about that. Unconstitutional bans and infringements are certainly controversial – about as controversial as arming foreign terrorists who have already spilled American blood."

Brandon is a living rotten Easter Egg.
- The Holiday type
- And the 'Hidden' Agenda type.
However when one discovers the second type, it brings the player/voter to a whole 'New Level' of stupid.

Claim: The U.S. left the Taliban an “arsenal” in Afghanistan, including 358,530 assault rifles and 22,174 Humvees.
| quote | A viral image claims that the U.S. left the Taliban an "arsenal" in Afghanistan, including 358,530 assault rifles and 22,174 Humvees.
An unknown amount of usable military weaponry and equipment was left behind following the U.S. departure from Afghanistan, but no accounting has been made. Figures cited in the image are dated, including some that count weapons or equipment that was brought to Afghanistan over more than a decade. The post [claim] contains an element of truth, but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression.
We rate [this as] "Mostly False." |

That was the end of a fairly brief "fact check" style report from the Poynter Institute's "POLITIFACT" from September 1, 2021. After the text itself, sources and other Internet page links.

However, it is very true that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was poorly implemented and massive amounts of equipment, American citizens and special interest people were left behind.
And servicemen died needlessly.
You're trying to polish a huge turd.

This is a conflation of two things—the military withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the laws and policies that affect private gun sales and ownership in the United States—that have nothing to do with one another.
To make sense of the Original Post (from 2.5), ignore everything that's in it about Afghanistan and focus on what remains.

No, it's a story of how an inept administration works and contrasting the two actions speak volumes. They cannot be trusted in Afghanistan, they cannot be trusted at home.
There is only one reason Biden is attempting this maneuver and that is gun confiscation. You can't confiscate what you don't know exists. It's just the early steps. More will follow.

Anyone that still think the actions of the current Administration and Congressional leaders is ineptitude, is sadly mistaken.
Their actions are intentionally designed to overthrow this country from within.
They are traitors.
I don't care if you agree or disagree with my evaluation of current events.
Although, if you support these anti-American traitors you should hang beside them.[This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 04-22-2022).]

You, like PolitiFLAK, must be on George Soros' pay roll. Always ready to ignore "critical facts that would give a different impression" of what you want the world to see. This is why new TAX laws need to be written for NGO👉NGO👉NGO👉NGO👉NGO money shuffling/transferring/LAUNDERING. And those who pry, the Soros School of Journalism entities along with the ADL starts their unjustified smears.
"Racist!"
"Bigot!"
"Antisemite!"
"Homophobe!"
"Sexist!"
George Soros most likely has a hidden stake in P&G since he's sooo Mr. Clean.
Let me guess, of ALL the images I've seen after the withdrawal of Taliban in possession of and using:
- Nice US military vehicles
- Nice US rifles/weapons
- Nice US military clothing
- Nice US body armor
They must have snuck over the US southern border, went to Saigon Sam's discount military surplus, then brought it all back to Afghanistan.
Notice how rinse hasn't said one thing about the 13 dead... instead of "window chic", I'm sure rinse has a name for them too: "red sand people". Is there not one thing you've said in this forum about those unfortunate souls (RIP)? I don't remember seeing it. Brandon couldn't pay any formal respect either. Must push the narrative. Brandon = "Best Prez Ever! NWO here we come! Now let me go copy & paste crap about nukes to get this world really fired up!"

What remains is the USA has an open border, but TO YOU, that's not a problem. You could give a crap because you KNOW the problems/chaos it causes. You want that. You NEED that cover.
You're obsessed. But not obsessed with that last thread. It's like you drove your ice cream van away from the playground...[This message has been edited by WonderBoy (edited 04-21-2022).]

We need a thread where we just go through, one by one, all the things the left has posted here over the years, and fact check them.
I would be willing to bet it's nearly a 100% failure rate.

Which coincidentally is also the Pennocks Purveyor Of Perjury's prediction failure rate.
As for "fact checking" the propaganda and bullshit from Leftists, I simplified that never ending task a long time ago:
The truth always eventually comes out and it is NEVER what the Leftist media, (or PFF Leftists), originally told you."...randye[This message has been edited by randye (edited 04-21-2022).]
