* Hundreds of fixed-wing aircraft and tactical helicopters left to Taliban fighters
* Plus hundreds of thousands of weapons and thousands of armoured vehicles
* Sandals are now replaced with combat boots and tailored camouflage uniforms
When British soldiers deployed to Helmand 15 years ago their Taliban counterparts were shabbily dressed in tattered traditional outfits and armed with decades-old Russian rifles and grenade launchers.
While they possessed guile in spades, and knew every inch of the jungle-like 'Green Zone' where battles were fought, they were poorly equipped and poorly trained.
Now, following the ramshackle withdrawal of international forces, the Taliban has been bequeathed a £62billion bounty of military equipment, including hundreds of fixed-wing aircraft and tactical helicopters, tens of thousands of armoured vehicles and hundreds of thousands of weapons.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. This seized military arsenal is going to blow-back against the U.S., and for a long time.
As for the pallet of cash in the above video.
I am deeply skeptical on how the Taliban got that cash.
Bottom line.
No one leaves that type of cash hanging around so that the Taliban can then "accidentally" stumble upon.
My gut is telling me that the U.S. is bribing the Taliban to not launch military strikes against them, and to let Americans through to the airport.

Pallet of cash? That is exactly what Obama did with Iran. Money from the American's tax payer for making this crook administration looks good.
Pallet of cash is a signature Biden move.
Biden wanted to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Iran after 911.
I would compare Biden to a fictional character, but it would be unfair to the fictional character.

Lol , has Obama still got spare change?
If nothing else they should have flown aircraft put of Afghanistan before withdrawal and filled all engines of vehicles with cement .
If Trump did this he'd be lynched, Biden is getting off lightly.
Now you have the botched drone strike killing kids (you'd think you'd wait until it was on the road) Trump would be called baby killer.
This buffoon needs to be removed see the look of terror when he was asked an unscripted question.
6:46 is a dumb comment. Commenter would excuse herself and others doing business with the NAZIs in 1941 through 1945.
Still waiting for the explanation of the warehouse with the stinger missiles. They were prepositioned for the Afghans in case the Taliban got helicopters.
6:46 you should try a marathon ocean swim.
My understanding of the midnight flight of cash to Iran was that obamma ignored a lawsuit that Iran lost. That legal action was due to a terrorist act that killed a family member and that family brought the suit. Over $800K was owed to the family as a result of Iran's loss in court.
Did you read otherwise, 6:46?
