VDH on Tucker prompts a few hard questions. The truth won't be for everyone. The choice to know is yours.
What does 90 billion dollars buy you?
One of the best equipped militaries in the world.
Or a stash of money-making arms.
Depends.
Some perspective of what it means to have armed the TALIBAN.
This represents the equivalent of …
About 85 percent of what the US has given Israel over 70 years.
Seven of the most up-to-date aircraft carriers at 12 billion each.
Three times as many Abrams Tanks the US has ever deployed.
One thousand F35 Fighters.
The arms stash that Biden left behind in Afghanistan is the greatest loss of military equipment in the history of warfare.
How do you arm the enemy and make it look like a minor details you overlooked due to ailing mental capacity? How do you blame the military brass for losing controlled territory and ceding the key to one of the most strategic landlocked corners of the world? How do you create a hostage scenario that invokes the memory of the contrast between Carter and Reagan and which invokes the pathos of POWs left behind in Korea and Vietnam?
How do you strike a massive blow against the strongest country in the world by demoralizing even its finest in uniform?
There are no coincidences.
