According to a Fox News report, the Biden administration is considering launching airstrikes against American-made aircraft and other large equipment provided to the Afghan army that has now been seized by the Taliban following the terrorist group’s capture of the country. 

Fox News reports:

The military option – which has not yet been ruled out – comes amid concerns that the aircraft, vehicles and weaponry could be used to kill Afghan civilians or fall into the hands of militant groups and U.S. adversaries such as the Islamic State, Russia and China, current and former U.S. officials told Reuters

“Everything that hasn’t been destroyed is the Taliban’s now,” one U.S. official told the news agency.

“Ironically, the fact that our equipment breaks down so often is a life-saver here,” one official told Fox News.

  1. Wonder how many innocent people will be killed in the process of such an air strike. Hmmmm. Biden “strikes” again.

    1. How many innocent Germans and Japanese did we kill to end World War II? Does God allow wars to prepare us for the final battle against the forces of evil?
      Stop drive by shootings by shooting back. The dead do not reoffend.

      1. If you are referring to the Atomic bombs, using them actually saved lives, both Japanese and Americans, by making invasion unnecessary.

      2. Yes, innocent lives were lost in World War ll, but that’s the tragic thing of war. Also, remember they were the ones that started it, not us. Don’t condemn the United States for that.

      3. War, once declared, does not discriminate which citizen will perish. You do know about the policy called “Mutually Assured Destruction”? That form of warfare would have annihilated BILLIONS of your ‘innocent’ populations. WWII was only possible because we elected a president who had the raw materials for war: being destitute Americans who were eager to find work during the Great Depression. Those people drove rickety trucks for thousands of miles over primitive roads just to pick peaches, or build dams, airports and–as my step grandfather did–erect high tension power lines across the western states. They would have welcomed the work of soldiering or manufacturing war materiel. The trick was how to ‘motivate’ such people to allow our leaders to yet again embroil our nation in a foreign conflict. I believe there is sufficient evidence to suggest Pearl Harbor was orchestrated partly by our government. Indeed, wars and conflicts prior to and after WWII were preceded by False Flag attacks and political chicanery. Trump was on the right track to extract America from situations that would have generated foreign conflicts, or prompt terrorist activities against our citizens. What Americans need to learn is that we place tremendous faith in our public servants to protect us, and if we get the wrong sort, our military forces will be become mercenaries for foreign ambitions on our dime, and with our blood.

    2. If his move has hit the press the Taliban know about his plans too. Therefore, they are busy now moving everything out of site. When will the U.S. politicians learn? My guess, never!

    3. Not really any because the offspring of these waring offspring’s of the Angel Lilith know as the radical Islamists will have already beaten them severely and sent our friends off to an alleged heavenly reward for associating with the U.S. and its allied.

    1. If Biden’s crack staff knew what they were doing, all of the equipment would have been removed or destroyed. That’s just plain common sense. Scorched earth

      1. I believe that is the first time the words “Biden” and “common sense” have been used in the same sentence.

      2. Biden has done what he historically has always done: Made bad decisions. Now he’s a world problem, not just our own. If China decides to invade Taiwan, it will be China’s analysis that Biden is weak and will do nothing but provide lip service.

      3. and, wsere they competent` this discussion would only be taking place after the fact. Whoever is leaking this stuff should be executed. Should such planning be takig place… of course. Should it be public… no way in hell!

      4. Much of it could have been put on the C-17s (to get out of the country) that were just sitting on runways waiting for passengers to get through enemy lines outside of the airport in Kabul. That is, if someone in DC was thinking!!!

  2. But if he destroyed it all, then his anti American cronies couldn’t use any of it.

    Who gives the “Order” to..
    Leave Americans behind?
    Leave American Intelligence behind?
    Abandon Blackhawk helicopters with super sensitive information?
    Abandon american weapons to be used against the United States?
    Who does that? Treasonous Anti Americans. That’s who. Ask that question every chance you get.

    1. Biden is CATHOLIC.
      NO CATHOLIC “C” is an American…. ALL Catholics are traitors…. There are two sides to a coin, heads, tails. There is The USA OR the Vatican…. The Constitution OR the bi-babble… the President of the USA OR the pooopie…. .. they are opposite and not compatible… ALL CATHOLICS make the CHOICE of being an American OR a CATHOLIC TRAITOR supporting the Vatican, a foreign, hostile NATION that destroys all nations it touches. /..R and D mean nothing. .. ..The smoke screen continues and continues. Political correct will get us all killed. they are ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor. The Vatican is a foreign hostile NATION which is at undeclared perpetual war with all other nations. Be Catholic or be dead.

      1. That’s an absolute, patent LIE – and YOU KNOW IT!!!!

        What you really are is anti-Christian: you also hate both Orthodoxy and Protestantism. As such, you are NO real American whatsoever. I strongly suggest that you emigrate to China or – better yet – North Korea!!!!

        1. I understand your frustration. I share it. I worked there for three years as a civilian Counter Insurgency Advisor as I did in Iraq. The Quoran actually refers to Jesus and in His second coming. These Taliban believe in God but they are illiterate barbarians that the Mullahs in Pakistan indoctrinate with this insane Sharia and send to Afghanistan.

  3. I think he should start by air striking the presidential palace and knocking out the taliban leadership first.

    1. ALWAYS!!! It is SO Simple! Ya’ KILL the Snake when you kill it’s HEAD
      All ya’ gotta have is a sense of RIGHT! Ya’ don’t Really need any balls. Winston Churchill, PLEASE rear your Precious head!!!

    2. Just carpet bomb the entire country . Let them go back to being in the Stone age along with their mentality .

  4. The sooner the better. Currently we are empowering the enemy, how stupid can we be? While our equipment is being destroyed, forget not to destroy all our buildings. The stupidity of not removing our equipment before the final departure reflects on this administration. They must be held completely responsible for this total lack of foresight.

    1. Biden is a CATHOLIC TRAITOR. Pelosi is a CATHOLIC TRAITOR. SCOTUS is now CATHOLIC.
      Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC “C” nation that has not overspent?
      Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC “C” nation that is not corrupt?
      Have you ever heard of a “C” nation that is successful?
      Have you ever heard of a “C’’ nation where the populace is educated?
      Have you ever heard of a “C” nation that does not need to ‘export’ the illiterate ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS?
      Vote for ANY CATHOLIC “C” and you vote for a traitor.
      Vote for ANY CATHOLIC “C” and the borders will never be secured.

      1. You are lying through your teeth, you FILTHY HUMANIST!!!!

        You hate Orthodoxy and Protestantism just as much as Catholicism – which means that you’re anti-CHRISTIANITY, period!!!! Since Christianity is the BEDROCK of our ENTIRE Western civilisation, it means that you’re a TRAITOR to the entire West!!!!

        By now, I’ve learned to watch fot your moniker; whenever I see such “postings” as the DUNG you’ve been soiling Web-logs like this one with, I’ll report you.

      2. Idiot! The Japanese weren’t Catholic nor were the Nazis/communists/islamists with tons of blood on there hands and the Brits haven’t been Catholic since Henry VIII declared himself god.

  5. YES! Blow up every single piece of USA equipment , to the last ear plug. These 14th century warriors care nothing about ANYONE but themselves. Treat them as they would treat us!!!
    From now on, go to war to win, or don’t go to war!!!

    1. That lesson should have been learned in Korea,and Vietnam. Oh, I forgot we erase history, so we learn NOTHING

  6. Too late for that, I’m sure that equipment has been spread out thru throughout the country. You would be bombing the whole country.

  7. Oh great, just great, Inform the infidels that YOU ARE considering it… Now you have just given aid and comfort to the enemy by stating this. Biden is not PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL, never was, never has been….. Now even many Democratic Voters are beginning to express buyer/voter remorse in electing him….. EXCEPT was he really elected or was he pushed in by electoral fraud. There are many reports out there of possible fraud that really need to be investigated to the fullest. Bet the FBI nor the DOJ will ever investigate any of it though….. Both are tainted and not to be trusted ever again sadly…..

  8. Great! Now to save his political rear end, our fake President is said to be mulling over an option that could well lead to World War III. What an absolute idiot!

  9. Why is Biden coming so late to this decision? It definitely fly’s in the face of the one he made and defended in and after his “address” to the nation!

  10. Here we go again HE FREE WORLD STAGE WILL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT, BIDEN HAS SEEN TO THAT FOREVER, WHAT A CORRUPT DISLOYAL PERSON,NO SOUL NO HONOR, NO LOYALTY, NO ALLIES, WHAT A FUCKIN LOOSER, JOE AND HIS LACK OF MORAL TURPITUDE, HIS ONLY TRUE LOVE IS CORRUPTION, LINING HIS OWN POCKETS WITH WEALTH. Time to hold the Biden family responsible for their crimes against our Nation, Time to hold his radical cabinet members responsible for their crimes against the American people, Time for full accountability on acceptance of money from foreign sources, who are adversarial to our Governmental and it’s ideals. principals. Biden crime family has been allowed to continue for too long. Time has come to hold the Biden’s for criminal acts against the American people. The Country can not continue on this path without the full input of Congress to hold the executive branch to the laws they created and that are in place to stop incompetent self elected dictatorships from taking our country and overreaching criminal political obfuscation by a mindless leader.

  11. Sleepy Joe Biden, the Putz in Chief, finally figured it out! The residual/abandoned equipment should have been destroyed by now!

    1. Please go to Arizona State senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election. The Maricopa county audit results are due soon, perhaps Monday.

  12. omg how stupid can u get…letting the enemy know the intentions…for sure they got notice and they r going hide all these equipments….Trump would done this quietly and then inform….

    1. Please go to Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election. We cannot withstand 3.5 more years of this fraudulent administration.

  13. It is a shame we can’t go back in time and give Biden’s parents a bug to make them sterile. Biden has produced one worse than him! Hunter. Wonder how bad will his kids turn out. If bungling Biden starts throwing around nukes, don’t know what bag of worms he will open up. When are the dummies going to break out the 25th amendment.

    God help us!!!

    1. Our only hope is to have the election decertified due to the fraud. The Maricopa county audit results are due to be released soon, perhaps Monday. Please go to Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election.

  14. I just bet the communist democrat cult party are really proud of their dementia jo and the puppet regime they put in place!

  15. Just tell them ahead of time you bumbling fool – they cam hide it well and protect their Biden-Gifts!

  16. We killed a lot of civilians to win in World War II. We lost in Afghanistan, because we had morons running things, who were unwilling to target the infrastructure of the terrorists.
    Instead of shooting down Iranian missiles, we should reduce Iranian industry to ruins, as we did to Germany and Japan in World War II.
    After Pearl Harbor, we burned down the entire city of Tokyo with the Doolittle Raid. This is what it takes to end and win wars.
    These power mad greedy and corrupt morons in our government would have us kill ants with an ice pick.
    Follow the terrorists back to their village and incinerate the entire village. Everyone dies some day. Soon villagers would come to us to help them in exterminating terrorist vermin, or we would simply run out of terrorists to kill.
    The only good terrorist is peacefully in his grave.
    I expect China to use nuclear weapons against a US government that wants to hide from problems in the next few years, maybe now, but before the confused moron Biden leaves office. Besides building new coal fired power plants China is increasing production of nuclear weapons.

  17. ” It’s a lifesaver that our equipment breaks down so often”…….Thanks taxpayers for over paying for junk……….where did the money for all this EXPENSIVE equipment go?………as always follow the money

  18. To late the rag tag taliban is re-armed and dressed in USA gear and Hi tech eq. As for helicopters and aircraft russia or communist china has it by now and paid handsomely for it. The Buffoon is a one regime wrecking ball just like his buddy obamy in Iraq. If you’ll remember the re-arming of terrorists in Iraq gave in to the rise of the head chopper ISIS and it took a Real president in TRUMP to allow the military to kill and destroy them and the Iranian scum that supported them.
    the Buffoon wants to kiss and make up just like the first black messiah Obamy.

  19. Everyone please go to Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election. The Maricopa county audit results are due to be released soon, perhaps Monday. Upon proof of enough fraud that would have changed the results of the 2020 presidential election we must demand the reinstatement of President Trump.

  20. The worst virus to hit our beloved country is Bidenitis. He needs a swift boot up his rump and out of the White House. He should take his virus ridden sickos with him.

  21. The air base in Kabul needs to be definitely destroyed because a lot of that equipment is there on the base. Should have been armed to destruct before they left the base! What were they thinking?

  22. He seems to think he has sick a good relationship with them, he needs to work it out that the equipment gets moved to return home. Let’s see him try that one. Proof that he’s so full of crap.

  23. LISTEN UP…ISOLATE the TERRORISTS and DESTROY A LL A MERICAN WEAPONTRY. GET the AMERICANS and AFGHAN REFUGEES Out of There. YOU MUST STRIKE the TERRORISTS. Do NOT Give THEM a CHANCE to REGROUP. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  24. I have a better idea! Why don’t we call in air strikes on DC? This way,we can get rid of all the brain dead idiot politicians and Pentagon officials who originally made these decisions?

  25. Hey pudding brain, the taliban ALREADY TOOK OUR LEFT OVER GEAR!!! I’ll BET they sent a thank you to you DICTATOR bid en!!! What a COMPLETE AND UTTER NIGHTMARE THIS CURRENT REGIME IS!!! Why don’t you go to Afghanistan since you say that the airport is secure and we are getting AMERICANS OUT!!! SOOOO SECURE YOU GO YOU BRAINLESS COWARD!!!

  26. If the Taliban hadn’t thought of it themselves already, making the “option” public knowledge has given them the warning and they have probably already started scattering as much equipment and vehicles to “safer” locations, namely into residential areas or other scattered areas away from the places they are now. Like the old “loose lips sink ships” slogan of World War 2 said, the Biden administration can’t keep a secret… or maybe they don’t want to.

  27. Short of nuking China and Iran ( probable current location of deserted equipment ), biden can’t destroy any of it.

  28. Yep, broadcast your intentions. The heros, drones and aircraft are probably in China by now. We already see footage of Taliban sporting new rifles with zero dirt on them.
    Close the gate after the sheep have escaped. Duh! They say it was incompetence. I say it was aiding and abetting the enemy forces. Or, in other words, TREASON.

  29. Really, really smart! And when the dumb-bat kills some nearby Talliban personal, just what value do we put on those left behind. It’s way past time to remove the mentally impaired administration including Miley and Austin.

  30. Just the headline for the article makes me wana puke. What the hill is biden thinking. AND what if the Afghanistan people left there want to use this equipment to fight the taliban?

  31. For those of you familiar with acronyms. Here is one to describe it all BSSC. If you think it is the it probably what I was referring to. Who thought it was a good idea to take troops out before military hardware and innocent civilians. When we people ever learn the Democratic Party is doing exactly what Biden accused Trump of doing. He is going to put you back in chains which is exactly what he has done to the innocent Afghan people who are collateral damage in this shit show. Of course he is trying to do the same thing he with his vaccine mandated and leaving our southern border wide open, then flying the illegals all over the country so they can infect more people. As Reagan said Government is not the solution it is the problem. Who created this Covid in the first place, there was lots of help from the Department of Defense trying to create new bio weapon. So don’t cause the problem and pretend to be the white knight who solves the problem. All you have done by trying is created welfare for big pharma. Don’t believe for one minute the Government isn’t in bed with big tech. Seriously how long ago should section 230 be repealed but they are in cahoots so why would Senate or Congress try to promote free speech instead of propaganda. Pravda on steroids.

  32. During WWII if we had announced to Japanese Eemperor Whozawhatzit that we were about to nuke Hiroshima, he would have deposited all the American POW’s in those cities and cackled with glee. Catch my drift, Biden and American Media? Whose side do you think you are on anyway?

  33. I guess Biden is upset because the Taliban got hold of that equipment before Obama’s butt-buddies in ISIS could get to it.

  34. Anyone with the name Alfie is full of anger and hate.
    All people who have anger and hate in their soul is named Alfie.
    All of the crazies in the world are named Alfie.
    Just read the posts of anyone named Alfie and you’ll find an angry, prejudiced, frustrated crazy who can’t see things without his own twisted views getting in the way.

  35. Exchange the America Citizens,for all Democrats, before the Air Strikes. If a few Thousand Democrats are killed, No Loss.

  36. What should have been done immediately after the terrorists invaded Kabul was send our bombers to all locations in the country where our equipment was kept , before they took control of it. At that time all our materiel would have been on the ground, no need to wait till it was in the air. But, what do I know?!

  37. Once again striking with the most fallout. Planning ahead? Biden and his crew of traitors make this even worse. And that old fool directing anything is frightening! Kamala or old Nanc, even worse. Thanks to fraud in the voting here we are today! Continue the audits!!!

  38. The present wisdom is”ABomb not lest ye be ABombed”! But who knows what an old man in his dotage thinks and hopefully does not do.

  39. you think and just under consideration… this is a no brainer… but then biden can’t understaand comic books… oh and ONE FOR HISTORY BUFFS THAT I BET YOU DID NOT KNOW

     

    In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War. President Ford went to Congress for a relief package to allow American personnel  and our allies to evacuate. However, there was ONE US SENATOR who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon

     

    This senator reveled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford. Despite the efforts of this U.S. Senator–President Ford managed to rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country’s fall. Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been targeted and slaughtered for their support for America . When they arrived in America , President Ford asked Congress for a package to assist these refugees to integrate into American society.

     

    That SAME troublesome SENATOR TORPEDOED ANY SUPPORT for these shell shocked, anti-communist, Americans and our helpers, the refugees.

     

     

    Instead, President Ford had to recruit Christian organizations to offer assistance on a voluntary basis.      As he did so, the Senator belittled those efforts.     What kind of person would oppose President Ford’s tireless work to do the right and humanitarian thing?    Who would want to play politics with the well-being of innocent people who stood by America in the tragic Vietnam War?

     

     

    THAT SENATOR WAS JOE BIDEN
