As the nation grows in anger over the Biden administration’s failure to safety evacuate Americans from Afghanistan, some have pointed out something else Biden has left behind — $85 billion of military gear, including a new video of a Taliban member flying a Blackhawk helicopter.
A Twitter video shows at least THREE American Blackhawk helicopters in use by the Taliban. Interestingly, Twitter makes users tap on the video, labeling it “sensitive.”

The $85 billion amount is from a Department of Defense data analysis of U.S. weapons provided for Afghan security forces since 2003. The reality is that no one knows how many weapons, how much ammunition and other gear the Taliban now have access to due to Biden’s failed exit plan. But images circulating on social media prove the Taliban has gained enormous amounts of US military guns, ammunition, grenades, rocket launchers, Humvees, and helicopters.
Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks tweeted, “The Taliban now has access to over $85 billion worth of American military equipment. That includes 75,000 vehicles; over 200 airplanes and helicopters; over 600,000 small arms and light weapons…”
He added, “The Taliban now has more Blackhawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world.”
Banks then said, “If any American is harmed or killed and not safely evacuated, or if any of this military equipment or weapons are used to harm or kill an American, the blood is directly on Joe Biden’s hands.”
According to reports, the equipment includes 208 aircraft. This makes the Taliban-led nation the world’s 26th largest air force.
Some military experts have argued the Taliban members do not have the expertise to use American aircraft. However, the new helicopter video shows this is not true. The Taliban are seen flying around in the Blackhawk helicopters.
Even with the equipment they don’t use, there is still a black market for sales. The Taliban can raise large sums of cash now by selling the equipment to our enemies like Russia and China who are already in the region. There is also the morale of “claiming” military equipment from the “enemy,” even if it cannot be used.
What’s worse is that President Biden has said in interviews that intelligence sources told him that it was likely at some that the Taliban would take over the country—he just didn’t know that it would be this quickly. So does that means Biden left all of this military equipment there knowing that the Taliban would have access to it at some point?
Whatever the case, there is now a multitude of problems in Afghanistan. One, Americans remain who need evacuated. Second, some Afghans who served with American military need help. Third, those Afghans who do leave need vetted for safety reasons. An ISIS member has already been found among the evacuees and another person who was on France’s terrorist watch list was found at another air force base trying to hide among the refugees. Fourth, we have a new threat as the Taliban leads the nation.
Then fifth, the Taliban now has a stockpile of weapons better than almost any other nation in the Middle East. No plans announced yet, but ISIS, al Qaeda and even Iran could potentially partner up and use the military might for greater advantage in the region.
Then there’s one more problem. The increased strength of the American-equipped Taliban makes us less safe in our own nation. The tragic events of 9/11 were reportedly pulled off by a small team for less than a half-million dollars. Now, the Taliban have far greater resources. Who knows what they could plan for the months and years ahead, but you can bet with the Taliban’s new Blackhawk helicopters it won’t be good.
Under 7 mos. of biden’s leadership, the Taliban now owns 85 billion dollars worth of American military equipment.
Biden and his people along with Milley and all Pentagon in charge are traitors to our country and to the military and all should be put in jail. For every American killed in Afghanistan they should spend 10 years in strips, jailhouse food, and living in a cell 10X10 or smaller. Democrats are destroying America from within. This is exactly what leader Khrushchev of Russia proclaimed while he was banging his shoe on a table.
A simple solution. Claim any aircraft to be stolen property and shoot down any that are flying. What a moronic evacuation plan, but that is to be expected from the drooler in chief.
If Americans can’t see what’s going on under joe and the other bumbing idiots stand behind him, and they keep control come 2022 it’s over!!! Kiss this country good by.
The DEMOCRATIC PARTY has gotten exactly what it is they were looking to do 4 1/2 hrs ago. I’m not thinking this heinous reality was an accident. The Biden regime has been hellbent on the ruination of America, and between a non existent oil pipeline, a southern border that’s allowing ANYONE to enter, a pandemic that was arranged, and now this abomination in Afghanistan, it seems they’re “right on schedule”.
The entire treasonous nature of Joes “people” is unparalleled.
Unfortunately, this thing is Afghanistan is just getting started. $85 billion worth of American war toys. We realize as a nation that our Commander-in-Chief is compromised in the intelligence dept. What I didn’t realize is that those who handle him are just as stupid as he is.
Joe Biden is their best ally.
Who reading these posts ever though we’d see a moment in American history that finished this way?!!
Make Joe Biden pay for it our of his own pocket
Biden had nothing to do with any of this. He’s nothing but a sock puppet for the Ineligible Kenyan MUSLIM Barack Obama. Thus, Obidma is merely paying off his MUSLIM bosses with the entire country of Talibanistan, thousands of potential US citizens as hostages and BILLION$ of neat war tools including secret communication and control gear.
And the Democrat Party and all of its DUPED FOOLS applauds it all and the Media spins it wildly.
But, no problem, the GOP will step in soon and save us all like they did by standing against the Ineligibles Obama and Harris, repealing ObamaCare and supporting Trump after that rigged election. Right? LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Too bad our aircraft and military vehicles aren’t “lo-Jacked”.
Can you not see what is going on we are in trouble on all sides of our border.
All l can say is God help us
