The ever-generous USA has been spreading its largesse to the Taliban, it appears. I wonder if the armaments makers will now lobby to sell them spare parts.
The list of military and logistic equipment supplied, free, to Afghanistan and now in Taliban hands, makes a sobering read.
As the article says, "The Taliban is the only terrorist group with an air-force"
Maybe this is some plan to get Eric Prince back into the picture so we can give him millions again and play a losing chess game.
I'm still laughing at the $150 million the Afgan president fled with when he left, apparently suitcases stuffed with it. Only it's not funny really. The war in Afghanistan is like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with the US and this world run by elites.
Agree with that. But I do wish it was not the custom to use the word "elites" like that though. Elites has a sub-meaning of better and superior. What could be better and superior about being corrupt, greedy stupid, incompetent, entrenched and nepotitic. I think that the word , establishments, is much better.
The Taliban a terrorist group ?. They are the de facto rulers of Afghanistan. In this situation surely it is the US military and it's allies who were the terrorist group.
