I saw 'um flying over Kabul shooting off all the munitions. Not at anyone, I don't think.
They probably won't be reloading. But yeah, it was a brand new Blackhawk with guns and missles.

Any aircraft or other vehicles left there by the US military were rendered inoperable before they left.
What the Taliban might have gotten ahold of is military equipment given to the Afghan military, who folded up and came apart like a cheap suit as soon as we left.

That BlackHawk was operable and shooting things in the sky.

Might have my ass! They did! Biggest military setback for the US ever!
GRR!
Now, China and Russia will have a "US Comms" setting on their walkie-talkies.

Don't get to un American gleefully happy because according to the USA Patriot Act of 2001 as follows:
The Patriot Act is legislation passed in 2001 to improve the abilities of U.S. law enforcement to detect and deter terrorism. The act’s official title is, “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism,” or USA-PATRIOT. Though the Patriot Act was modified in 2015 to help ensure the Constitutional rights of ordinary Americans, some provisions of the law remain controversial."

The Taliban have access to US military aircraft. Now what happens? Also this is the result of a 20 year war that President Biden did not start but ended, and tRump hopping in the whore bed with the Taliban to engage in his own un American treason is partly the result of this. There is a cost to starting and ending wars just like the Iraq war but the cost would have been much higher had this Afghanistan saga dragged on indefinitely.
“But suffice to say that the technology that’s in the A-29 is not cutting-edge technology,” he added. “When you look at the airplane’s range and speed and computer power and lifting capability … it’s not something that, frankly, concerns us.”
While the Taliban could seek to sell captured aircraft, none of the planes or helicopters operated by the Afghan air force contain sensitive technologies that would be useful to nations like China or Russia, said Richard Aboulafia, an aerospace analyst with the Teal Group.
“Truth be told, if the Russians or Chinese wanted to get their hands on a Super Tucano or early model Black Hawk it wouldn’t be that hard,” he said. “They were equipped in a pretty low-tech way.”
The Taliban would face a long list of obstacles if it sought to operate the equipment itself, using the remaining airplanes and helicopters to form the basis of an ad-hoc air force.
First, the Taliban aren’t trained pilots capable of safely flying the aircraft, using its sensors and loading and deploying weapons, Kelly said."

Until it gets cut off and what does this have to do with being a regional threat as opposed to a bunch of ignorant, uncivilized and intellectually deficient hoodlums doing what hoodlums do at terrorizing their own communities. Its time for Afghans to step up and defend themselves instead of depending on foreign elements to do it for them. Yet its all tRump's fault!

Why is Trump's name coming up? Biden has been president since 1/20/2021
He was briefed on this situation and given full access to all the info.
This is his baby. Ofc he dropped this baby on it's its head.
Video emerged Monday showing a man hanging from a U.S.-supplied helicopter during what is being called an aerial “patrol” of Kandahar, Afghanistan.
The footage shared by the Talib Times, which calls itself the “English language official account of Islamic Emirate Afghanistan,” shows the person dangling from what’s thought to be a UH-60 Black Hawk chopper.

I saw better than that. They were whooping it up, flying over the city and shooting off munitions, thankfully not at people.

Deal with the reality of it all at tRump and his GQPer un American creatures putting this burden President Biden to deal with:
Yes, the Trump administration in 2020 agreed to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners as a pact with the devil, and colluding with foreign enemies on U.S. territory as in high treason and a violation of U.S. Constitutional law.
The GOP’s Phony Complaints About Afghanistan
Nearly everything Republicans are decrying happened under Trump.
On Feb. 29, 2020, the Trump administration signed a deal with the Taliban to pull all American troops out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021. The deal also required the Afghan government to release 5,000 imprisoned Taliban fighters. Hawks called the agreement weak and dangerous, but Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, advised them not to speak out against it. In March 2020, at hearings of the House Armed Services Committee, some lawmakers worried about the deal, but most, including Reps. Jim Banks and Matt Gaetz, said nothing about it. Another Republican member of the committee, Rep. Mo Brooks, expressed his impatience to pull out, noting that American forces had long ago “destroyed al-Qaida’s operational capability” in Afghanistan."

Actually this issue is nothing compared to the internal tRump and GQP Taliban threat in the sewer that is working on covid murdering U.S. citizens at being at war against Democracy and the common decency of civilization on Earth.
When the Taliban puts a gun in the back of those we trained to fly them, they will fly.
The videos, especially the one of the guy hanging by his neck from one!
Indeed...thanks to the traitor, Biden.

Trump having sold out his puppet government, what future was there for the war? Were the Americans going to fight for a lot of women?

Try to get this through your head.... the operable equipment the Taliban now has, was the property of the Afghan military, sold or otherwise provided to them over three Presidential administrations, beginning with George W. Bush.
Any equipment that belonged to the US was rendered inoperable prior to leaving.
Blaming Biden for not retrieving it all or destroying it, is fucking stupid if, for no other reason than that it was assumed the Afghan military would continue to use it as they continued to fight for their own country.
The fact that they folded and fell apart like a cheap suit is another issue altogether.
At any rate, the US will probably end up destroying all or most of that equipment in future drone strikes on the Taliban anyway.
