Taliban has really cool guns now

#1

Post by philip964 »

So I took a photo of the TV to get this photo.

It was during a newscast about Afghanistan.

They were just showing some Kabul scenes as the newscasters were discussing the significance of the MSM suddenly turning on Joe.

So what is all these things he has attached to his M16?

The big black soft looking thing near the back is that a night vision scope? There are like three things attached near the front.

If I ever get an AR15 I will want it to look as cool, like this one.

I guess he is also following the Taliban strict Covid mask requirements as well.

From Australia, with photos:

The Taliban's new armoury of US-made equipment includes planes, guns and night-vision goggles
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-20/ ... /100393572
For decades, Taliban militants have fought American war planes and armoured vehicles with mostly Kalashnikovs, improvised explosives and ground missiles....

"We provided our Afghan partners with all the tools — let me emphasise: all the tools, training, and equipment of any modern military," said US President Joe Biden last month while defending his decision to withdraw American forces and leave the fight to the Afghan army.

Those weapons are now being brandished across Taliban social media as fighters pose with American-made rifles and vehicles are seen loaded with heavy weapons and mounted with artillery guns.

you don’t need “F-15s and nuclear weapons” to take on the US government after all

Erik Prince indicated that the Taliban probably already sold off a lot of high tech stuff to the Iranians and moved the rest. It's gone.

“A Big Money Funneling Operation” — Afghanistan Vet Reflects On Withdrawal Of US Forces

Essentially the 20 year effort was shipping money to US Contractors while the Taliban stole at least 25% of everything provided to Afghanistan... the defense contractors seemed to see that as a bonus as they needed to replace the "Losses".

That's all while Obama and Joe were trying to ban guns here in the US.

Erik Prince indicated that the Taliban could have been kept in the hills for about 5% of the cost by just maintaining the original methods used in Afghanistan (i.e. SF working with local tribes). I believe Erik Prince is correct in ALL his assessments. But then he's not a flim flam man like Uncle Joe.

I think to be fair about it we should send a large supply of cruise missiles to them as well. By air, so they don't have to wait to long for them.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

A pistol without a round chambered is an expensive paper weight.
