Piles of cash and rows of US military equipment Joe Biden and Mark Milley left the Taliban as the US surrendered in Afghanistan.
THE GATEWAY PUNDIT | Published January 25, 2025
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported – Joe Biden supplied the Taliban terrorist organization and their Islamist accomplices with billions of dollars worth of US weapons, armed vehicles, helicopters, ammunition, and piles of cash after Biden bungled his withdrawal from the country.
Rather than destroying the equipment before leaving the country, Joe Biden surrendered billions of dollars worth of US military equipment to the Taliban.
In fact, Joe Biden left 300 times more guns than those passed to the Mexican cartels in Obama’s Fast and Furious program.
The Taliban later released video of the weapons Joe Biden left behind and a room full of stacks of $100 bills Joe left for good measure.
The Taliban posted videos of pallets of weapons and stacks of $100 bills they had seized.
Here is a more complete list of US-supplied and left-behind equipment now controlled by Taliban:

But that was not enough.
It is as if we lost the war and now we’re paying reparations to the terrorists. You just can’t make this up!
In 2023, two years after Joe Biden’s famous surrender, the Taliban started posting videos of the fields of military vehicles the US left behind for the Taliban.
The Taliban also claimed the Abu Dujana brigade of the Al-Badr Corps had already repaired over 300 military vehicles and the vehicles are now ready for use.
And don’t forget the room full of $100 bills Joe Biden left the Taliban for good measure.
Earlier this week President Trump requested that the Taliban return the billions in US military equipment Joe Biden left behind in Afghanistan.

Even if Trump is advised to negotiate with the Taliban to bring back American military equipment, the process will be far more arduous than it appears, experts tell Arpan Rai

On the eve of his presidential inauguration, Donald Trump pledged at a public rally in Washington to strengthen the US military by getting back billions of dollars worth of equipment left behind in Afghanistan during the fall of Kabul in 2021.
Although it was Trump’s first administration that signed the deal with the Taliban to withdraw Nato forces, the Republican has heavily criticised the way his successor Joe Biden handled the pullout and said the Democrat gave “our military equipment, a big chunk of it, to the enemy”.
“If we’re going to pay billions of dollars a year, tell them we’re not going to give them the money unless they give back our military equipment,” Trump said, referring to humanitarian aid. “So, we will give them a couple of bucks; we want the military equipment back.”
According to a report by the US Department of Defence in 2022, the US left behind $7bn worth of military equipment in Afghanistan as they withdrew from the country – much of it in the hands of the Nato-backed Afghan army – which was quickly seized by Taliban fighters as they swept the country
The US forces tried to dismantle or destroy as much of their machinery as they could – from aircraft to computer systems – in the last weeks of their chaotic pull-out after 20 years of war. But huge amounts still fell to the Taliban in August 2021 when the US-trained military crumbled and surrendered to the Islamist militants.

The equipment includes aircraft, air-to-ground munitions, military vehicles, battle tanks, humvees, US track, weapons, bulletproof vests, camouflage uniforms, communications equipment and other materials which have not only deteriorated over the last nearly four years but also been dismantled by Taliban fighters.
However, experts say retrieving the US military equipment left behind in Afghanistan is far easier said than done.
Jason Campbell, a senior policy researcher at the RAND think tank in Washington, says the “billions of money” that Trump is referring to are the cash shipments sent by the US, as the single largest donor to the humanitarian causes in Afghanistan.
These cash shipments are handled very carefully through the UN and other non-governmental organisations to ensure a consistent financial drip to keep millions of Afghans alive through the aid, as the Taliban is prevented from international banking.
