- busymom0 5y agoThey are leaving behind several fully functioning military equipment which are now under Taliban's control. Basically a gift to them.
- petre 5y agoSo basically the exact thing that happened with Daesh in Iraq. I don't even know what to say. My country helped by sending support troops, some of them died there.

- ruined 5y agoyes. there are photos going around of rooms full of weaponry seized, and they are already patrolling in humvees and mraps. there are even some videos of probably ANA defects piloting American helicopters for the Taliban. https://instagram.com/p/CSj-3bgsxKQ https://instagram.com/p/CSj-3bgsxKQ this is absolutely astonishing to me. im honestly surprised the us didn't conduct airstrikes on the vacated armories and hangars. they just got a leg up from antique firearms and fertilizer bombs into modern weaponry and air force. i expect all of this to show up in Iraq, Syria, etc
- nradov 5y agoOn the positive side the Taliban won't be able to sustain those American helicopters for more than a few flights before they run out of spare parts. Iranian revolutionaries were able to continue operating American aircraft for a while by fabricating their own parts but the Taliban lack that capability.
- yumraj 5y agoI'm pretty sure Pakistan will help Taliban, after all they are the parent of Taliban.
- beerandt 5y agoWe'll start bombing what we left behind as soon as the retreat/ evacuation is over. Maybe sooner.
