The Taliban, on whom Joe Biden is depending for the survival of thousands of Americans he has left stranded in Kabul, have released a propaganda photo mocking the Iwo Jima image.
A videos shows heavily armed Taliban soldiers carrying U.S. and U.S. ally-made weapons and gear stolen from allied militaries. Helicopters and light attack aircraft, including 35 American Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters and one or more C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, are also now in Taliban hands.
The Badri 313 Battalion show themselves in the video wearing elite combat gear they captured after Biden senselessly ordered the U.S. military to abandon Bagram Air Base and leave that gear behind. The C-130 has long been the workhorse of the U.S. Air Force and allied militaries. It’s capable of landing and taking off from unprepared runways, and of dropping supplies to ground forces very accurately.
The Taliban now have one of the better-equipped military forces in the region if not the world. They certainly have a sophisticated propaganda effort.

That’s Bidens “superpower” - “f#cking things up”, as Obama put it. He’s just a natural at the art of screwing up so badly that we end up paying our enemies to kill us.

This is how we arm them without “arming” them.
