Months ago, U.S. forces began either removing, breaking down, or selling for scrap the military hardware they would leave behind on Joe Biden’s hand-chosen date to leave Afghanistan: September 11, 2021.

These are real weapons of war, not the ones BLM and antifa call police rifles and service pistols.

This will take some self-control, but try to put aside for a minute your disgust at the moronic, clueless, and deeply symbolic – for terrorists anyway – date of 9/11 for the pull-out and consider this question: “Why was so much equipment left behind?!”

There’s no way to tally the human cost from Joe Biden’s debacle so we won’t try here. How many people dropped from that cargo plane to their deaths? How many women and children will be taken as Taliban “brides”? How many interpreters committed suicide after being left behind because they knew the Taliban were coming to behead them?

Agree.

The outcome will not be a mistake, but rather a planned feature signaling American withdrawal as a world power for good.

What comes will be the natural result of empowering those who hate the United States Constitution and the American people.
