The Taliban paraded stolen U.S. military equipment around a former U.S. air base in Afghanistan Wednesday in celebration of its takeover of the country after the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal three years ago.
The terror group showcased billions of dollars' worth of military hardware at the anniversary celebration at Bagram Air Base—once the center of the United States’s war effort in the region—including NATO allies’ helicopters, Humvees, and tanks, according to the Associated Press.
In 2021, Biden disastrously withdrew American troops from Afghanistan, resulting in the death of 13 American servicemen, thousands of American citizens and Afghan allies left stranded in the country, and valuable military equipment left in the hands of the Taliban, which quickly regained power.
Vice President Kamala Harris has recently come under fire for her crucial role in the botched mission. She said at the time she was the "last person in the room" advising the president before he made the decision to withdraw and was "comfortable" with his plan.
When asked about the Taliban’s use of American machinery in Wednesday's celebration, the Pentagon told the Washington Free Beacon, "You’d have to ask the government of Afghanistan," which is now run by the Taliban.
Since Biden's abysmal evacuation and the terrorist group’s takeover, millions of Afghans are on the brink of starvation and unemployment is high, the Associated Press reported.
