Fox News’ Tucker Carlson blasted the Biden Administration this week for gifting the Taliban $90 billion in arms and military equipment while at the same time working to disarm responsible Americans stateside.
“So on its way out of Afghanistan, the Biden administration left behind an awful lot of Americans but also nearly $90 billion in military equipment,” observed Carlson.
“How much is that? Well, only two countries on the planet have a military budget larger, China and the United States. So, the Taliban now have the best-equipped military of its size in the history of the world,” he continued.
Tucker went on to list all the goodies that the Taliban received, citing the Times of London:
- 22,000 Humvees
- 50,000 Trucks & Armored Vehicles
- 4 C-130 Transport Planes
- 350 Combat Helicopters
- 350,000 Rifles
- 126,000 Handguns
- 64,000 Machine Guns
“It’s a disaster, obviously, but it also makes for a striking contrast with what is happening in this country. At the very moment, the White House is arming our new friends, the Taliban. They are working hard to disarm you,” said Tucker.

Tucker referenced the administration’s recent move to restrict access to certain ammo and Biden’s long-standing aspirations to prohibit commonly owned firearms (including handguns) and accessories that millions of Americans use for lawful purposes, including self-defense within the home.
“So how about this as an answer? No. You’re not allowed to give more than half a million guns to the Taliban, guns that we paid for, and then try and take our guns away in this country. Sorry, that’s not how it works. So, shut up and back off,” exclaimed Carlson.
“Not one more word about gun control from these people until they get back every single rifle from Kandahar. That is the rule,” the Fox News personality concluded.
We let em do this so we deserve the reward up to and including whatever horrific attack that will top 9/11. C130 properly loaded will be little different from a fully fueled 737 they got 4 of then. Wonder how much of our explosives and artillery ammo and missiles they got?
Why have we not destroyed the runways at Bagram military base airport? Why aren’t the white house flags at half-staff for the servicemen killed by the bomb in Afghanistan?
Watching the epileptic convulsion’s of our present government is like watching an old “Three Stooge’s”(Biden-Harris-Pelosi) episode, ya gotta laugh at how stupid it is with some of the crap they come up with. It’s just so sad that this is the “new normal” of incompetency with our government, the rest of the world must be laughing there ass’s off with all these shenanigans going on. The Democratic “Party” (and I use the term loosely) used to be a force to recon with but now they’re just a mob of moron’s, criminal’s and degenerates.
Hey guys let’s plan to withdraw from Afghanistan in a few weeks. OK what do you say we leave $75-$90 billion dollars in Gear and equipment behind for the Taliban. So the vehicles being left behind is bad, the AH-64 choppers are definitely a problem, a few AC-130 planes are definitely not good, but what REALLY PISSES off anyone who has ever conducted a night time Operation is Knowing that 16 thousand pairs of night Vision goggles ( NODS) are now being passed out to not only the Taliban, but to Hamas, Boka H, Isis , and every other piece of shit wanting to kill Americans. So now imagine you get the 911 saying to get to base and Kit up because we’re gonna conduct an OP on an HVT or maybe even a hostage rescue. But hey guys remember we used to have the tactical advantage of Owning the night because of our Night time capabilities. But thanks to Biden/ Harris and this entire fraudulent administration that is no longer the case. American special ops teams no longer own the night and have the advantage of night time superiority on the ground. It’s over . Not to mention they are $125 K a pop. Which who gives a shit about the cost at this point, because no longer being able to sneak in and sneak out is literally FN the worst decision in military history when it comes to such basic decisions being made. The taliban is hunting anyone who helped us, while Biden brags about transporting 125 thousand Afghans who mostly jumped on a plane only fo be shipped to the United States where they will be placed in swing states to help the democrats win future elections. Folks our country is being wrecked on our watch. Our schools are being infiltrated with racist views, our borders are no longer relevant, and our economy is based on what other countries want to give us on their terms. It’s a shame that so many Americans voted based on personality and not policy. Trump fighting on Twitter with every left wing dumb ass turned off millions of voters who decided they hated Trump more then they loved their country. All I can say is we are witnessing the forced change of a great country that so many great men died to create. Change is natural, but forcing change is a whole other deal. Why is it that their are many many more guns in the suburbs then the inner cities, yet my neighborhood has never had a single shooting while all major cities run by Democrats commonly have 50-100 shootings each and every weekend? Think if we would have gave the $90 billion in equipment left to the taliban to our border patrol agents . That would make to much sense I guess. Sorry for the rant, I’ve had enough of the career politicians like Biden, pelosi, Schumer, and the left wing media that protects them. Unfortunately the politicians have made it red vs. blue. Billionaires button who controls local governments around the country. Wealthy liberals buy council seats, DAs, in townships which they have never lived. How about every citizen has to claim 1 state as their primary residence, and everyone can only vote for their own local government. Federal elections remain the same but no more George soros billionaires picking who they want to make decisions for communities they do not belong. How about $10K is the limit for any election donations period. We’re losing out folks.
Trump was impeached twice over a phone call and “Russian Collusion.”
Are you fucking kidding me right now?
Are we just going to let commy morons completely destroy our country? The corruption the stupidity the blatant lies. At what point do good men say enough? I’m not religious at all but holy moly if these people are not evil than nothing is.
It’s chess boys chess! If you bring home all those guns the Military Industrial Complex can’t sell any guns to the Army.
Leave them there so we have a greater threat and we’ll be back in the stew in 6 months.
Business will be booming.
Another word for it is “looting the treasury”. Pelosi is at home looting the treasury for “infrastructure”, 19 Republicans sign on like trained seals. Meanwhile, for 20 years we’ve been shipping mega amounts of high-tech weapons and equipment to an army that won’t fight, backed up by our troops who will. Ever since FDR they(Democrats & Republicans) have been merily Looting the Treasury
Why the fake POTUS did NOT just leave a few shotguns is beyond me.
I can’t believe that armory was not destroyed, I thought that was protocol! Those attack choppers have highly sensitive material!
I’m a idiot trucker but I know enough that if I had to flee and leave weapons that 2minutes after the last vehicle left the place would have felt the wrath of 2 squadrons of b1s
“The Big Guy, 10%, China Lackey” is the dumbest person, much less the dumbest President in my lifetime. (82yrs). Jimmy Carter is his only fan, now that he is rated #2. God help us all.
Ut was left to the Army we helped train . Not the Taliban. Even though they’ve taken over the place the Afgan Military was lect all the equipment. Dont be dumb an naive. Cant listen to all the bullshit.
Seriously Aric? Their is no Army that we helped train left. They folded like a cheap suit. So the equipment is in the hands of Taliban. Don’t get caught up in a technicality. The Taliban has it, whether we left it for them or not.
You mean “dumb” like trying to depart Afghanistan in the middle of the fighting season… “dumb” like lying to the whole world about the situation on the ground… “dumb” like ignoring advice from the intelligence agencies and military… “dumb” like pulling soldiers out before civilians… “dumb” like forfeiting the opportunity to destroy the weapon caches left behind… “dumb” like trusting the taliban to provide security… “dumb” like refusing to take out the terrorist beforehand who took 13 US servicemen’s lives… or “dumb” like planning to pay ransom for the remaining US citizens left behind? Which “dumb” are you referring to?
Exactly…
They knew they would fold. Idiots elected BIDEN.
But wait the president‘s press secretary clearly stated that we didn’t leave billions of dollars of equipment there
You mean she lied to us
Right! Arm the adversary and disarm Americans! Really nice going Mr. President!
Was that the deal with the Taliban for the US withdraw? Can our presidents do that with
impunity? That is amazing! I have no idea how that works! Someone please explain it here.
I’ll explain it for you Andrew, it’s called Treason. Unfortunately we don’t enforce our own laws any more in this country (unless a Conservative commits a violation), SO nothing much will come of it. Hope that explaination cleared things up for you.
It was left to the afghan army…They are culpable
Well there were many advanced intel assesments that the “Afghan Army” would fold like a cheap suit just like it did. Then there was the time period between the “Afghan Army” folding and our final withdrawal, why didn’t we do anything then??? What about now??? We have this great “over the horizon” capability everyone is bragging about??? Oh, that’s right we can’t, because we abandoned our fellow Americans during our final retreat!!!
As for Joe Biden and the rest of the incompetent politicians there should be no great surprise they were calling the shots (figure of speech) which created this disaster, the ones I am appalled at are those lazy fat ass posers Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley. For any General or retired General to go along with that foolishness without resigning their positions in protest before following those orders boggles my imagination. Not to mention they go so far as to try to “spin” this UNMITIGATED DISASTER to the benefit of a political administration further illustrates their lack of Character and Honor! You can add that other fat ass Marine General Kenneth F. McKenzie, Jr. to the mix. If this is what we are producing as leaders in our Armed Forces we are doomed!
