Washington Post Debunks Fake $83 Billion Pricetag of Weapons Seized by Taliban — But Only Awards ‘Three Pinocchios’

Washington Post Debunks Fake $83 Billion Pricetag of Weapons Seized by Taliban — But Only Awards ‘Three Pinocchios’
Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler thoroughly debunked a claim that the Taliban has seized $83 billion worth of U.S. military equipment — or $85 billion in former President Donald Trump’s retelling of it — but for some reason failed to award the maximum number of “Pinocchios.”



Despite Media sensationalizing the amount of equipment left behind in Afghanistan.
The U.S. military rendered 70 armored vehicles, 27 Humvees, and 73 aircrafts inoperable before leaving Kabul. - Kaivan Shroff

For remaining Americans there is no deadline.
We remain committed to get them out if they want to get out. - President Biden





IMHO, Trump Would Have Nuked Afghanistan If He Had His Way
Donald Trump has had a lot to say about how Joe Biden has mishandled the withdrawal from Afghanistan—but, when given the chance to explain what he would have done differently, Trump’s master plan boiled down to leaving the country in smouldering ruins before leaving it forever.

I would worry about a system that made a 70 year-old drug addict in a diaper and a cheap suit with nothing on his resume but bankruptcy, sexual assault, mob ties and money laundering into the biggest cash cow the MSM has ever seen. They will be looking hard for the next beast. - Noel Casler
