- Nearly seven billion dollars worth of military equipment has been left behind in Afghanistan. This American military equipment has just been left behind to be used by the Taliban. Weapons are in the hands of the same enemy that America tried to drive out for two decades.

They were left there intentionally to keep their own defense industry going and more infighting to keep going in and around Afghanistan.
Exactly! Afghanistan is worse now than it was 20 yrs ago...Therefore any country attempting to go back and exploit the natural resources...Will literally have to fight a well equipped taliban and other terror groups...
Wow, these Americans must some kind of evil geniuses ;)
Lies big lies😂😂😂
Sheesh
Yes it's already in the wrong hands, Indian Army has recovered American military equipments in the hands of terrorists killed in J&K.
Exactly
Its true.. India is paying price for US mistake.. Sry Sleepy Joe's Mistake

This is pre-planned
Thank you Brandon
We are all grateful for your services to humanity and for promoting peace
And making India angry…. Trump/obama built relationship with India… Biden took 100days to finish it
This was Trump's deal. ! So don't even start
🤣
@Dan Mark lol 😂
Well equipped modern army that's what Sleepy Joe said he's now saying this about Ukraine.
The gear was left purposely. Now this equipment, like guns, radio was found with terrorist who were hoorifies in Kashmir India. It was not a blunder.
@Juri V 99
90% of Afghans don't see the Taliban as terrorists. They are out freedom fighters who liberated us from the US & NATO terrorists, who invade Afghanistan and from the US/NATO PUPPETS
@Juri V you seriously think that a muslim would kill a Muslim😂😂😂
Like after the fall of South Vietnam ! the weapon ended up in Central and south America and other places !
@Juri V context here is Afghan army had no backing, their usa & govt left them to fight alone and die. Taliban is very brutal they could have targeted their families for their action.
Why did they leave then on purpose?
The Soviet withdrawal in Afghanistan back in the late 80s was much better than the US in 2021
Soviet Union and America build , maked the terorists groups and gives the weapons... Cowardly countries both😠😠😠
Nothing stays the same
Vietnam no better we left weapon behind there too !
"Hasty nature of the withdrawal" -> the brass had over a whole year to make a withdrawal plan and get things into motion and when it was time they made one big calamity leaving all this equipment behind and the whole withdrawal process even ended in civilian body count. I'm surprised multiple people are not in jail over this but I guess when it comes to incompetence of leadership, nobody really answers for failures
More humuliation than the 1971 of PAK army and left all the peoples who trusted them.Thats the difference between India and US. When millions of peoples suffering in now called Baangladesh India stoodup to protect them with the limited resources while her own peoples are suffering. India puts humanity first while western peoples put their interest first.
@@TrendSuresh Yet India has a caste system, sales children, and scam the world.
Wait for Russia to invade Afghanistan again then we will see what kind of fighting forces the Taliban are I think the Taliban would smash Russia to another dimension with its western supplies
It was a successful withdrawal, all the military personnel where evacuated except for 13. Let us never forget!
The biden plan was for taliban to use the weapons vs russia
Ya wasn’t that smart of our American president . One of many reasons he should be impeached
He ain't the Preaident,the office was stolen
Lol Afghanistan was Trump's deal remember 300 talabon freed by Trump
I’m so sick of the Biden Administration he wants more money for Ukraine.
Yeah biden is a disaster
The Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States-Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar, which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments, provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021. Following the deal, the US dramatically reduced the number of air attacks on the Taliban at the detriment of the ANSF fighting the Taliban insurgency. Trump did not include the Afghan Govt in that negotiation.
US taxpayers are so generous to gift $7 billion worth of weapons.
To terrorists
Well, we are the richest nation, it's the least we could do to help. Maybe it'll be the reason we come back someday?
@@nashton9964 nice joke clowns 🤡
Well aren't you guys happy with 30Trillion Debt?
We never got a count on the weapons left behind in South Vietnam after the fall !
US 1st as a world power running away like a coward. 🏃♂️😂

Definitely not cowardice. What we are witnessing is pure unadulterated Arrogance and stupidity.

Lets go Brandon .. he did that and all his administration
Trump did that
@@madisongittens4007 yeah you know it, Biden hadn’t been in the White House long before the withdrawal, and that idiot trump said that he’s gonna bring American forces home from around the world, it was the result of the last four years of trumps presidency, is supporters won’t except that, but only a idiot would follow a fucking idiot, let’s have it right. I’m in Britain and our government isn’t much better either with that Boris Johnson in Downing Street. Take care of yourself buddy wherever you are in the woods from Stevie boy
@Dan Mark he’s right, trump gave a promise to is supporters that he will give them a decent standard of living okay, and basically he did for a little while, yet when Covid came along, he folded just like the rat that he is okay, I remember his exact words, 15 people died this week, next week it’ll be 5 people that die and then the week after it’ll disappear, that’s got to go down has the biggest fucking understatement of the century, over half a million people died in America ffs. You enjoyed the little bit of happiness that he gave you so the greed took over you and his other supporters let’s have it right.
Just like the fall of South Vietnam in 1975 ! but Brandon was not President ! tons of weapon left behind.
Bruh politics in a nutshell lmao
Many rifles were factory fresh new and were sold internationally.
Talibans : thankyou
They didn't leave it, it was part of the negotiations with the Taliban before the US withdrawal, since there's already US weaponry it makes it easier to sell them weapons and denying that they did... And the USA said they would never negotiate with terrorists 🤣🤣🤣
The really don’t ⚠️☢️ they push buttons 🇺🇸 on B-2 Stealth Bomber and Drones everyone should know right about now.
This happened WITHOUT the permission of the American people! Understand that. We have been sold out by the godless reprobates who want to see America become a third world nation. We have traitors in the White House.
Just from you subscribing to beluga I can't take you seriously lol
They not only negotiated in February 2020 with pompeo shaking hands with Talibans signing the agreement.
Yes, it seems that they made a deal in their negotiations. But, they are withholding money to new Afghan government until more conditions are met, it seems.
Meanwhile, they are telling the world "We forgot to bring the weapons in a hurry" LOL
The US 🇺🇸 in order to maintain its superpower status quo needs 2 things :
An unstable Asia,, and it’s bustling defence sector.. and Afghanistan is the answer to both these requirements..
Creating conflicts around the world, to keep others busy.
@Juri V you and they are entitled to dream 🤣🤣🤣
Disregard asia my friend..america failed in asian continent so many times.maybe in europe america is the winner because america is also white😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@alexandertrongcoso4918 you guys are still very reliant on the west I wouldn’t call that a win
@@dasenya1761 how can you call that a win when you see people dying,not only in ukraine but in countries wich is also affected by the war..who cannot blame russia for being agressive because the west is also giving them the reason to do it correct?
If the money of US citizen is so cheap then dear citizens of USA why not giving me some money for my business
They too have people living on streets haha
That more than pakistan milltray budget
😂😂😂
A day without hypocrisy is a day wasted - USA🇺🇲
These weapons will be used pissfully
the chinese is already aquired one of each equipment,for copying or to duplicate the system
In abundance
Duplicate is not as same as original.
@@sammymuturi2024 it's sometime better
Unlikely. The Taliban does not like the Chinese
"100s of infrantry weapons" 🤣 Those are guns, trust me, theres more than a few 100 guns left behind...my god WION
Well, not just guns per say. Plates, armour, guns, ammunition, bombs, combat knives. So they could be hundreds of these infantry weapons thus including guns
@Swh0rD Maybe you should reflect on this comment. 🤭
Dont forget helicopters and jets left behind
100s of infantry weapons usually implies the variety or types and not the quantity of a single type.
Lol... Infantry weapons..I bet you think these are only guns. 🤓🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations to Afghanistan 🇦🇫
2 Decades and nothing to show for it...That's embarrassing...Nothing says "run with tail between legs" like an 'enemy' seen parading your military equipment 🤔
Parts and maintenance will be interesting!
Lol this is a horrible argument that I’ve heard a million times from America. You guys really think every other country is a bunch of donkeys. Trust me they can produce and buy basic vehicle parts, poor countries are more resourceful then you realize
Let Chinese replicate these. They would have spares in abundance 🙂
what special parts will humvee need?
its just a motor vehicle which you gifted them .
These military equipment could go to other countries.
such as Communist China
Already have .
How?
The amount of weapons we left behind in Afghanistan and the amount of weapons we sending into Ukraine, US troops will one day be up against their own weaponry.Thats just a nightmare.
Woow I bet there are people who lives underbridges in USA 🇺🇸 and they give those toys for them to eliminate each other 😭
If US doesnt bother about the left items y WION is worrying about that
The USA was never going to retrieve it anyways. That was a gift to Afghanistan once it touch Afghanistan Soil.
Afghanistan Government or Taliban, the equipment was never coming back to the USA
When you have 700 billion per year … 7 billion is a joke … it’s only WION trying to make it a big deal … the equipment needs maintenance and can’t be used in time … so USA destroy the important things and left the things they can’t afford or gave the parts to fix
So WION seem still mad that USA call out religious freedom for india … yawn
The USA was spending 8 billion per month for 20 years in the war in afghanistan … so it’s just leaving ONE month if spending out of 20 years … 🤦♂️
If that so, why not these equipments destroyed?
Gift... After a recent terror attack Indian forces found some of those american equipment from the terrorists. The people who died from their use send thank you for you generosity.
7 billion..
that's worth more than the military equipment they're giving to the Ukraine🤔
Thank you
WION
Eh from Canada, The funny thing is. The same General that lead the withdrawl from Afghanistan is the same General that is leading NATO. Does it make sense why NATO appears useless.
This is NATO plan to bring peace in the world 😂
@@ADITYAKUMAR-mb5ht Eh Aditya that General was writing a book the last time he had to command and I bet he is writing another right now. He should of been hung for treason.
@@williammyers1505 he is powerful character in US brother, punishing him means revealing the dark secrets of powerful men in US,so it will never happen in US and this is exactly the point where I find myself unable to differentiate between democracy & autocracy
Nowadays, Afghanistan security is in right hand.
Did anybody notice those top shelf thermal scopes ?
$7Billion? Lol. Try $85-88 Billion.
7 billion weapons is not that much. Also the USA left them in the custody of the Afghan government
7 billion could use to tackle inflation at present.
How many schools, hospitals, shelters, and affordable homes could have been built with all that money ....what a waste
This was such an embarrassing withdrawal for the world's most powerful military, this was the second embarrassment if you consider Vietnam.

this is the real face of US responsibility - like teenager playing adult..
I'm confused... what's the reason for reposting this? This was almost 9 months ago. Most of the valuable vehicles were rendered inoperable. So those Blackhawks mentioned will never be flown again. Humvees? Seriously??? They are going to overthrow neighboring countries with Humvees and APC's???
This channel loves digging up bones
Maybe because report came recently ? Idk
It's like Wion turning its whole body to sniff it's on crack butt.
ur weapons will spread peace across the region in southasia
They left those so that taliban can do rampaging by them... And then by saying the protector of democracy and human right they can invade afghanistan lol
I heard that the taliban is selling a large portion of the things they can’t use. Not sure if it’s true or not
They left with a rush
out-freaking-standing !!!..
This is a tax write off compared to the 850 billion budget in 2022.
Also shows what a wasteful nation we are that is a joke 7 billion dollars someone should be in jail for this
Thank you to the Taliban, which expelled the American occupier and his terrorist co-workers. I wish peace to this beautiful country and wonderful people
“US military left 7 billion dollars of military equipment and weaponry” ?? Really? “7 billion”? Try 85 + BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
wow, just wow!!
It was not left behind, it was given to the Afghan army to defend their country,
instead they ran like cowards leaving all these expensive weapons for the Taliban.
Well they were trained by us army so when master ran away they too followed
@@kunal.sharma Master left after 20 years,
student still wanted baby sitting.
Afghanistan had lost a golden chance to stand on its own. Which country will give that much aid.
The US Army left those weapons for the Afghan govt, but their president surrender just after one second of the withdrawal of US troops
Who failed my friend what a filmmaker...
Thanks USA self proclaimed worlds police thanks for your services now other countries will buy more weapons from you to fight against your gifted weapons nice win win for usa as always so called teacher of humans rights
Really? How they going to fight against the gifted weapons when the Taliban are just interested in their own country and no other country
How is this country a democracy when the military industrial complex is allowed to do disgusting things like this?
It's almost as if they left this behind knowing this would happen and leaving an avenue to possibly return need be
The equipment they left behind was obsolete anyway. A good portion of it was worn out, broke down, damaged or destroyed. When waging war, military equipment wears out fairly often and quickly, it soon takes it's toll on war effort.
And it’s not our problem anymore!
Good luck everyone else.
Consider it's a gift 7BN usd military gear 🙄
Just helping a poor country
Before it was 85 billion
2 months ago a terriost was killed in Kashmir region of India carrying advanced weapon (Latest American Made) which was indeed left to keep the region in unrest........peacekeeping my foot!!!
Even the poor dogs are abandoned in Afghanistan.
They are being taken care of. The Taliban ensured that they were all rounded up and kept safely
Great supporting in the world history
They left $85 billion so where did you find this such a small number of about a 1/10
They lied about the 80 mil and didn't add in depreciation either
Dang Ukraine really needs it more than Afghanistan.
Count it as a loss. The Biden Administration should have implemented a better evacuation plan. Just because $7 billion of weaponary was left in Afghanistan does not give The United States the right to seize $7.7 billion in funds from The Government of Afghanistan. The United States needs to release the money to Afghanistan.
17
Why is anyone giving anything at all to the Afghanistan government? Unless they are fools, (and there are plenty of those in positions of authority in the US and other governments).
There are don't worry because chaina n Russia is there helping for it
Loss? Those weapons are in hands of terrorists. After a recent terror attack Indian army recovered American equipment from the terrorists.
Afghanistan government is long gone, now the country ruled by the terrorists and still whole west including UN did not even bothered about that.
And now they are screaming about Russia, then what about Taliban??
The Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States-Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar, which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments, provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021. Following the deal, the US dramatically reduced the number of air attacks on the Taliban at the detriment of the ANSF fighting the Taliban insurgency. Trump did not include the Afghan Govt in that negotiation.
A classic lessons on how not to conduct an orderly withdrawal.
Aah so this is why US took 7 billions Afghans money
You know when you fly from the sky you see humans like little Children or insects running around on the ground fighting each other and then suddenly will reduce to ashes when attacked
They had to get out a bit sharpest before the Taliban arrived
Got dang, so the taliban now is a superpower. Wtf.
Only news channel have guts to cover this
The same ( old ) story is all over CZcams.
They did the same in Panama years ago ! and Americans social security is minimum !!
They went in for weapons of mass destruction, but ended up leaving weapons of mass destruction. Yikes.
NATO and the US did not occupy Afghanistan searching for WMD's. You are getting confused with Iraq
To keep that part / area unstable and busy fighting amongst them.
I was shocked that they announced to the world that they are going to withdraw - from a zone that was still hot. Instead of doing it in a covert manner. Also that is US taxpayers money laying waste while many citizens toil and suffer to fund it...
Easy to bring in..😄
Difficult to take out.. 😬
SMH, they left BILLIONS of dollars worth of equipment in Afghanistan but when I go to CIF they tried to charge me $473 for a 6 year old pair of pants I couldn't find. (I found the pants)
Wait.. US is sending IronMan secretly to destroy these weapons.. nobody watched the movie??
😂😂😂😂
Elhamdulillah, long live Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan!
They made a big mess for Indian subcontinent! As usual
And they are playing good cop now.
And would not be enough $ to reverse the damage done to their people and country !!!
@Pɪnned by WION. oh boy this feels like a scam . Let me think about it ! Thanks 😊
TALIBAN: Thank you America for buying us very advanced weapons, helicopters, and jets for free
AMERICA: No problem. Our citizens have more money and we will make them pay your weapon bills, after all its only 2 trillion dollars
12,000 Hamvees... Jesus Christ !!
Its same what happened to Ukraine🇷🇺💪👏🇷🇺👍
Give it a year and most the aircraft and vehicles will be broken down. But the thousands of small arms left behind will haunt the world for years to come. First in incursions to India, and arming Pakistani rebels, Supporting rebels in Iraq and all the surrounding nations. The Taliban should at least send Biden a thank you card.
He would screw up reading it
Blah blah blah ..Give it a year... China and Pakistan will reverse engineer what ever they can.
Just in case you haven't closely observed the current Chinese milatary inventory.
They copied the C5A galaxy without owning one..
Imagine when they have thier hands on hard metal specimens here 😂
How much assets has been destroyed, looted from Afghanistan? How much compensation payed for people murdered under 21 years by American military?
How many people living in Healthcare system crises and how much compensation given for their economic system has been suffered and victimized after suddenly they left?
NO RETREATING ARMY WILL LEAVE WEAPONS OPEN TO BE USED BY ENEMIES. At least they will destroy it before the enemy could capture.
US Army is not an ignorant Army to leave behind the standard protocols unless SPECIFICALLY called for.
Now it is the duty of the US Army to come out with truth WHY THEY DEVIATED FROM NORMAL PRACTICE.
They did dismantle the weaponry by breaking the wind screens and deflating the tires. That should stop their use against others
@Chitra Venkataramanan, noting the recent Taliban or Pashtun attacks inside of Pakistan, that could be part of what the Americans had in mind. You are right that it seems too deliberate even for the Americans. According to some it was the Americans who created the Taliban in the first place via the mujahadeen. Perhaps they had some agreement to leave many workable weapons to help destablize Pakistan and perhaps even drag communist China into some kind of military quagmire eventually.
America indirectly left this weapons not by mistakes they planned to implement this weapons to cripple Asia . As they know who & where will these equipment is going to be used.

Humvees in Afghanistan are obsolete, without the specially engineered lower floor which protects from IEDs, aircraft cannot be maintained by Afghanistan even if repaired.
They will find a way out
