Taliban fighters are feeling angry and betrayed Wednesday after discovering that Afghan National Army helicopters abandoned at Kabul’s airport have been rendered inoperable by departing U.S. troops, according to a report.

An Al Jazeera reporter who toured a hanger on the military side of the airport said in a video that the terrorist group "expected the Americans to leave helicopters like this in one piece for their use."

"When I said to them, ‘why do you think that the Americans would have left everything operational for you’? They said because we believe it is a national asset and we are the government now and this could have come to great use for us," she continued.

The Chinese will help you with parts. As for pilots, you might need their help on that too!

Very smart decision by President Biden.

No loss of life and job done!

That’s why I voted for him.

Was either disabled or sensitive soft was removed.

Not talked about on the msm cause it doesn’t fit with their “bash Biden” narrative

Then didn't. I'm sure that could have been arranged. This was better.
