Air Taliban: Fighters seize $6 Million US Blackhawk Helicopters alongside Tons of American Equipment - while taking to the skies in Captured Russian hoppers as advance approaches outskirts of Kabul

Taliban fighters today seized $6million US Blackhawk helicopters alongside tons of American equipment as they took to the skies in captured Russian choppers amid their advance through Afghanistan.

A series of videos being shared on social media show insurgents flying the Kremlin-made mi-17 aircraft around the city of Kandahar, with concerns continuing to grow over the militants' ongoing grab for power.

Even more seismic, however, is the evidence that the Taliban have also seized American-made Blackhawk helicopters, made famous in the 2001 Ridley Scott blockbuster.

To all of you who were adamant Biden couldn't be any worse than Trump........... My God I knew he wouldn't be a very effective but he's even surprised me at his level of sheer incompetence.

I feel like this would’ve been about 2 or 3 episodes on Homeland that people would’ve been entertained with, but would come away thinking the writers got carried away because no one would **** up this much .

Undoubtedly, something is taking place right now that will be a movie one day… or a Congressional hearing.

Last days of the US Embassy in Kabul: Nerve Center of The War on Terror is Being Gutted of All Sensitive Material as staff and CIA Assets prepare to lower the flag and Flee amid Taliban takeover

• The US Embassy in Kabul has been the intelligence hub for the US's war on terror for the last 20 years but the Taliban is forcing an evacuation in 72 hours
• Since its creation, the Embassy has gathered intelligence that has shaped counterterrorism military actions such as precision drone strikes

The Embassy's demise will create an intelligence void that could plunge the US into pre-9/11 blindness, unless it can find another nearby country that will allow it rebuild its spy center.

Biden's Ghost is not in charge of anything. He just haunts the premises mumbling something about Trump. Probably been mentioned, but this is a sequel to the fall of Saigon, complete with the abandoned equipment and personnel. There will be public beheadings, etc. in short order.

We’re not even a full year in and he’s already blundered so badly.

Our former President. Biden has no doubt fubared the withdrawal from Afghanistan, but perpetuating this Trump myth benefits no one. He lost. Time to move on and worry about the next election.

Its not the least bit surprising. Biden has no business as POTUS

Biden has no business being ... period. He's a complete waste of material.

We had 9/11 despite having the CIA and several other intelligence agencies. Maybe the best course would be to make sure documentation and equipment are destroyed and let the "assets" get out on their own.

Liberals whines for 4 years that Trump wasn’t their president. What’s wrong with some Trump supporters still saying Trump is their president?

It's not reality, and I only endorse drug fueled delusions.

82nd is gonna get off the plane and be ready for a fight. I hope they get after those ****ers if need be. Throw in a few AC-130’s and unleash hate.

They just need to have airspace to get out of the plane. Gotta love when "Puff" starts spitting at night.

Whatever I guess. Drugs are for the mentally weak.

Said it better than me..
... keep fightiin them culture wars...

"The debacle in Afghanistan, which will unravel into chaos with lightning speed over the next few weeks and ensure the return of the Taliban to power, is one more signpost of the end of the American empire. The two decades of combat, the one trillion dollars we spent, the 100,000 troops deployed to subdue Afghanistan, the high-tech gadgets, artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, Reaper drones armed with Hellfire missiles and GBU-30 bombs and the Global Hawk drones with high-resolution cameras, Special Operations Command composed of elite rangers, SEALs and air commandos, black sites, torture, electronic surveillance, satellites, attack aircraft, mercenary armies, infusions of millions of dollars to buy off and bribe the local elites and train an Afghan army of 350,000 that has never exhibited the will to fight, failed to defeat a guerrilla army of 60,000 that funded itself through opium production and extortion in one of the poorest countries on earth."

Oorah..........

And just like that the Left hates Liz Cheney again...they are down to Kipzinger being this year's Justin Amash

 

[FLVOL_79]

Anyone who dealt with Afghans during the war knew this is exactly how this would play out. The military training was like Beethoven teaching piano to a quarter pounder sh!t sandwich.

Good to see Biden will ultimately be blamed for it all since we should have been out back in 2011.

 

[VolnJC]

I remember years ago and not even sure what President it was under..we had trained the Afghan army and were letting them handle some insurgents....they took our money but when it was time to fight fled in battle and quickly shed their duties..I feel for the women and children of that country but the men are cowards or secretly want Sharia Law reimplemeted

If this tweet is accurate that a seize of Kabul is imminent and Taliban forces are already in the city, it’s going to be a bloody conclusion to our presence there. The administration should be crucified mercilessly for such stupidity wrt it’s planned withdrawal. But hey, at least there are no mean tweets.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Hoping for a safe return home of our troops!!

This adminstration just made things more dangerous for our troops going in there. A mess and a travesty they have such incompetence.
