Taliban Shopping Spree: Helicopters, Jet Planes, Humvees, Ammo, Weapons…and the China Connection
Now that the government of Afghanistan has fallen, the Taliban have stepped into the void left by the Afghan Army – by seizing the arms, tanks, Humvees, Black Hawk helicopters, and attack aircraft from jets to helicopters. Billions of US taxpayer dollars are now in the hands of a ruthless, bloodthirsty enemy. For its part, China says it looks forward to working with the Taliban. And the whole thing could get worse soon since the Taliban shopping spree included so much equipment.
Small arms and ammo
The Taliban are currently taking all kinds of weapons and ammunition the US left behind. What a disaster
While this is all going on:
✔️Biden is on vacation
✔️Harris is focused on “Haiti”
✔️Psaki taking the week offNo accountability! ?

The Taliban are not trained in the use of the helicopters or jets… or are they? Footage from some of the areas taken by the Taliban show them operating the aircraft. According to Global Security, some of the American-trained Afghan pilots joined the Taliban.
Fresh footage from #Herat shows the Taliban operating a captured Afghani helicopter.

Up until this week, the Taliban had no air force. They do now. Black Hawks, Attack Helicopters, Humvees, tanks left behind for the Afghan Army – which is no longer in existence.
The sheer amount of vehicles raises the question if anyone ever used them after they were paid and transferred by the US …
Now every Taliban fighter gets his own Ford, Toyota, Humvee or MRAP. pic.twitter.com/3wfSMt2VPR— Julian Röpcke (@JulianRoepcke) August 12, 2021
China connections:
The Taliban met with Chinese Communist Party representatives in July.
Barbaric, backward, and bloodthirsty – the Taliban have taken over a country they previously ruled and will send it back to the dark ages once again. The Taliban shopping spree has paid off well.
