The Taliban paraded billions of dollars worth of American military hardware
around the streets of Afghanistan on Wednesday near the U.S.�s former airbase
inside the country.

The Islamic extremist group, which is not recognized by any country as being
the legitimate government of Afghanistan, touted U.S. military vehicles,
helicopters, and weapons at the parade at Bagram air base.

The Department of Defense Inspector General said in a report a year after
Afghanistan�s fall that the Biden-Harris Administration left behind �U.S.-
funded equipment valued at $7.12 billion�, which fell into the Taliban�s
hands, including �military aircraft, ground vehicles, weapons, and other
military equipment.�

The hardware left behind included nearly a billion dollars worth of aircraft,
over 40,000 military vehicles, more than 300,000 weapons, and tens of
millions of dollars worth of ammunition.

Also left behind were nearly all communications equipment that the U.S. gave
to Afghan forces and nearly all other advanced military electronics,
including night vision and surveillance equipment.

The Biden-Harris Administration�s August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan was
chaotic and projected American weakness around the world. Many say that this
moment of weakness played a factor in Russian President Vladimir Putin�s
decision to start a war by invading Ukraine just six months later.

During the withdrawal, 13 service members were killed in a terrorist attack
during evacuations at an airport in Afghanistan�s capital city of Kabul. When
the soldiers were flown home, Biden was caught checking the time on his watch
as their bodies were unloaded.

Since the U.S.�s withdrawal from the country, Islamic terrorist groups have
reconstituted inside Afghanistan and have started growing at a rate that has
alarmed many U.S. officials.
