Things have gotten unspeakably bad.
The internet is ablaze right now with shocking new video of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan after President Joe Biden decided to pull troops out and “ending” a 20 year war.
America left behind million if not billions of dollars worth of weapons and armored vehicles and it has all been taken by the Taliban. Some even claim that the Taliban is now stronger than it was before the war started.
Here are just some of the American military items taken:
In the past 24 hours Taliban forces have managed to capture the following aviation assets:
2x UH-60 Blackhawk transport helicopters
2x MD-530F attack helicopters
4x Mi-17 transport helicopters
4x Scan Eagle UAVshttps://t.co/KYb639bVYR pic.twitter.com/TdJNYtfe1N— Oryx (@oryxspioenkop) August 13, 2021
Earlier this morning the BBC said, “Afghanistan is on the brink of a Taliban takeover and a transfer of power to a transitional government is being prepared, a government minister says.”
It’s clear to all of America right now that Biden failed tremendously.
Watch as Taliban soldiers enter the Presidential Palace in Kabul, a location experts predicted would last several days if not weeks, but was merely taken in a matter of hours:

What does the White House have to say about all of this? Sadly, all they did was release a picture of President Joe Biden sitting by himself watching as America losses to the Taliban thanks to him:
This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul. pic.twitter.com/U7IpK3Hyj8
