"Taliban" make fun "of America": militants dressed in captured US Army uniforms

Taliban fighters [a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation] make fun of American troops who abandoned their local "allies" and hastily retreated from the country.

Taking advantage of the situation, the militants easily defeated the Afghan army and immediately occupied almost the entire territory of Afghanistan, with the exception of Panjshir. Along the way, they got impressive trophies of war, including a warehouse with American ammunition and equipment. The Taliban have already boasted of these "gifts of fate".

They posted a video in which they are dressed in trophy uniforms of American soldiers and armed with assault rifles of the US Army. The Taliban *, who have taken advantage of their adversary's property, are said to be part of an elite unit guarding Kabul. The equipment shown in the video includes attributes characteristic of the US Special Forces: M4 and M16 rifles (carbines), body armor and helmets with night vision goggles.

As explained by American experts, the ownership weapons his enemy is a symbol of success achieved by more than one decade of stubborn struggle.

Taliban makes fun of America

- noted in connection with the publication of the video in the Business Insider.

Earlier on the CNN channel, a report was released, which reported that the NSA (National Security Agency) is conducting an audit of weapons and military equipment supplied to Afghanistan over 20 years. According to the latest data, from 2013 to 2016 alone, the Afghan army received more than 600 thousand small arms and up to 80 thousand army armored vehicles, including the HMMWV.

That's where they made fun of it, yes, the same Taliban in American uniform are trolling the United States raising the Taliban flag over Afghanistan, just like the Americans in Iwo Jima in 1945 - That's how you need to PR and troll the enemy
Not only did the ragamuffins in slippers drove away the "strongest" army in the world, they humiliated this army, and at the same time all patriotic Americans (and this is practically all of America) humiliated in a way that no one has ever humiliated them. Using their own American propaganda. Namely, the same famous photograph in which the Americans claim one of their very few victories, planting the American flag on Ivo Jim in 1945.

Dressed in seized uniforms and American equipment from American-trained Afghans, Johnny Taliban raises the Taliban flag over Afghanistan, completely copying a famous propaganda photograph taken seventy-five years ago by their current enemies.
I hope someday we will raise our flag like this over Donbass and Kiev


Or how to use propaganda techniques to your advantage ...

[Terran ghost]

On the obvious session of anti-American hysteria "drove up", it seems

Americans claim one of their very few victories

Such "very few" victories that by the spring of 1945 militaristic Japan "for some reason" found itself with a naval fleet lying at the bottom, shot down and burned by bombing strikes at airfields by aircraft, and even in an American naval blockade of the Japanese islands themselves.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

With this rate of failure in politics, the United States will soon have only two "reliable" allies. These are "superpower" - Georgia and "superpower" - Ukraine.

What is characteristic - the amerovskaya equipment sits on the Taliban, like their own. It seems that they have worn it for several years. And they are holding weapons, not like sheep. There is something to think about.

[Walking towards the light]

"80 thousand army armored vehicles, including HMMWV." - the USSR received within the framework of Lend-Lease: 118 half-track M2 armored personnel carriers, - 840 more modern half-track M5 / M9 (modification of the M3 armored personnel carrier, distinguished by a more powerful engine, cheap armor and a different arrangement of firing points) ... - 3340 light armored personnel carriers М3А1.Tanks - 12 pieces. "Well, all the US in Afghanistan fought World War 199 against the Taliban.)) The Wehrmacht nervously smokes on the sidelines. * 3 thousand armored vehicles against infantry with small arms and a maximum of RPGs. This is some kind of shame. ...

[mvg]

USSR received under Lend-Lease

The USSR received more than 600 thousand cars under Lend-Lease. Out of 12 thousand Katyushas, ​​only 500 +/- were on a domestic chassis. The Americans released 40+ thousand M-4 Sherman, fought a lot in the ranks of the Red Army, there are no exact numbers. But they went through the whole war, along with the Matilda.

Wehrmacht nervously smokes on the sidelines

The Wehrmacht captured all of Europe, brought England to its knees.
Let's objectively judge something. Only in fairy tales Ilyukha Muromets wins everyone. To fight China and Pakistan on their territory is a thankless job.

Shta? Another alternative? The Wehrmacht did not bring England to its knees, not a single foot of a German soldier set foot on the land of England, and England continued the war, did not surrender.

[mvg]

Shta? Another alternative?

England without US support and the opening of the Eastern Front would simply die. Without his African colonies, what Rommel conquered is simply nothing. Despite its fleet, which does not know how to fight in Africa.
Maybe a little alternative, but the essence is roughly clear.

England without US support and the opening of the Eastern Front would simply die. Without his African colonies, what Rommel conquered is simply nothing. Despite its fleet, which does not know how to fight in Africa.

England in 1940 the world hegemon, the largest power in the world, an empire that, in addition to the metropolis, included Canada, Australia, New Zealand, British India (modern India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka), half of Africa, the Middle East and dozens of other territories all over the world like Falklands, Bahamas, Virginia, etc. Hitler did not have a fleet that would defeat the British fleet for the landing of troops in England, moreover, even in aviation, the Luftwaffe was losing to British aviation. So, having no advantage either at sea or in the sky, Germany could not land troops and capture England.

[Wolf]

Now put the number of aircraft that attacked the USSR over the English Channel and maybe you will see a different picture?
Hitler just didn't want to crush England !!!
The Germans could cross the Channel with rubber boats!

[Alexey G]

But the Germans kicked the English army out of France like a lousy cat with a kick in the ass! And yes, if not for the United States, Kirdyk would have come to the Anglicos, Doenitz would have strangled them at sea, and Rommel would have taken away all their colonies ...

[Kot_Kuzya]

Quote: Alexey G

Doenitz would strangle them at sea, and Rommel would take all their colonies ...

Would Rommel reach England, Canada, South Africa, India and Australia in his tanks?

[Alexey G]

Well, if we talk about alternative history. If we exclude the USA and the USSR, then the Germans would have dealt with the British unequivocally. They would have captured Malta, like Crete, which would have given them the opportunity to control communications in the Mediterranean, and then, having given normal supplies to Rommel, they would have entered India and captured Africa, and then the wealth of the colonies would flow to the Reich and not to old England. And of course, if the Reich had not fought with the USSR, then not only he, but Manstein, Guderian, Goth and others went to South Africa ... , but 10 and not one Bismarck, but 7 such ships and plus submarines and aircraft would have brought the German flag to London !!!

[Kot_Kuzya]

Well I do not know. Churchill was a good Windsor dog, and they would go to Canada and continue the war. I do not think that the Wehrmacht could pass through the jungles of Central Africa to South Africa, and even more so could not cross Iran and reach India. The Wehrmacht could reach equatorial Africa at maximum strength, and capture the Middle East, but could no longer. Nazi ideology is suicidal in itself, and even in Ukraine, Nazi ideology caused rejection in itself, where the Germans are the highest race, because Ukrainians considered themselves to be real Europeans.

[Alexey G]

Germans are a very disciplined nation, they are not Ukrainians! They would have reached Mars, not just Iran, especially since Iranian oil was closer than the reserves of South Africa! They crawled waist-deep in mud across the fields of Russia. And whoever was able to get to Stalingrad and the Caucasus, he can get anywhere! Then you forget about the German airborne forces! And they were very good!
Well, maybe Churchill would have fled to Canada, leaving everything behind! But with what forces would he have fought there? How is Khodarkovsky with Putin with the help of newspapers and magazines? England would not have won that war without the United States! They had a chance with France on the continent, but even with France they missed it!
It was the weakness of England in that war that led to the hegemony of the United States! Otherwise, we would have waged a cold war with them and not with the United States! England dog USA, that's the truth!

The lion cub has several thousand reliable bayonets and another 5-6 which can surrender at the most crucial moment. The lion cub is in a self-boiler without air bases or borders. Deliveries to him are possible only by parachute. And this will not happen while the evacuation from Kabul is underway. That is, you will have to live on your own for another week or two.

The Taliban are pulling serious forces there, including hailstones and howitzers.

Taliban "make fun" of America: militants dressed in captured US Army uniforms

... All this should be considered in one context - What will happen next?
They are now better armed than they were, full of enthusiasm And where will they go next, what will they do?
Yes, inside the country they have problems above the roof, but those problems can be solved in very different ways.
Often, to distract from internal problems, they expand outside !!! And do not delude yourself with the statements of some leaders ... there are these leaders, old and NEW, there are plenty of who and how will behave so far it is not clear.
If we accept as a version that the Yankees did everything to maximize the pressure on our Central Asia, to divert our resources from numerous internal problems, then ... this version has the right to be considered and taken into account in our future plans !!!
Yes, I want to tell all those who wrote that "America FSE" ... they are far from everything and this should also be taken into account in our plans.

[anjey]

Yes, and surrender on all Afghan fronts is similar to an unspoken agreement with the Taliban, so the Yankees hang out with their military-political "Poker" and bluff as an adult.

[rocket757]

So it’s not a secret that there was an agreement ... but we don’t know all the points of it! At least the public was not informed about this.

That's it. Talking about America's defeat is stupid. They did everything to make a complete mess in Asia begin. And now to disentangle us, and to everyone who is near.

Afghanistan has deposits of rare earth metals such as lanthanum, cerium and neodymium, as well as deposits of aluminum, gold, silver, zinc, mercury and lithium. In 2020, the value of Afghan rare earth metals was estimated in the range of $ 1 trillion to $ 3 trillion. "All this should be considered in one context - What will happen next?" Then the Taliban will be good and will sell these deposits to the one who pays the most. Most likely to the Chinese. Or the Saudis.

[rocket757]

This has already been said, even some actions, some who are already taking !!!
We will see.

[YOU]

Deposits must first be developed. And this is transport, energy, large-scale construction, specialists. The ore must at least be enriched. All this is a lot of money and investments. An internal struggle will unfold for them. And this is war. During the war, no one will invest. In general, there will be "interesting times", but what is depressing bloody.

And then they, with the help of radicals in the Asian republics, will stir up the SA. I will not be surprised if the power in Turkmenistan falls first. The weakest militarily and the richest (gas) is it.

According to the latest data, from 2013 to 2016 alone, the Afghan army received more than 600 thousand small arms and up to 80 thousand army armored vehicles, including the HMMWV.

In the original was nearly 80,000 vehicles - about 80 vehicles. That is, they meant cars of all types, not just armored vehicles.

Between 2013 and 2016, the US gave Afghan forces more than 600,000 light weapons, such as M16 and M4 rifles and nearly 80,000 vehicles, as well as night vision goggles, radios and more, according to a 2017 Government Accountability Office report. Even more recently, the US Defense Department supplied the Afghan military with 7,000 machine guns, 4,700 Humvees and more than 20,000 grenades between 2017 and 2019, a report from the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction found.

Seriously speaking, the Taliban fighters in Kabul were dressed in trophy American uniforms, apparently with the aim of giving them a more civilized look. Instead of laughing at the Americans.
A couple of years will pass, the trophy uniform is demolished and the Taliban fighters will again be dressed in traditional Pashtun attire: harem pants and knee-length shirts.

Roughly the same story with the American M4 and M16 carbines. Maybe individual Taliban fighters or individual squads will pull and get used to the more complex maintenance of their personal weapons. The bulk of the same will return to use for the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

[Terran ghost]

Roughly the same story with the American M4 and M16 carbines. Maybe individual Taliban fighters or individual squads will pull and get used to the more complex maintenance of their personal weapons.

First, this very "complexity of service" is greatly exaggerated. To put it mildly. The Viet Cong used American trophy weapons, for example, quite successfully. Moreover, they had radically fewer problems with it than the American troops themselves. Well, it's just that no one had time to tell them a very pernicious story about "it is not necessary to clean it, it cleans itself by itself."
The question is rather about consumables / spare parts, but most importantly, the availability of suitable ammunition.

[Osipov9391]

It's funny, but the laugh is bad!
How many sleeping cells do they have in Central Asia? If Afghanistan under their rule somehow has borders, then the ideology of the Taliban has no borders. Their creeping expansion into Central Asia is irreversible. There are many of their supporters who are inspired by their victory and are waiting for the right moment when the government is shaken.
In Kyrgyzstan, the political system is not stable. And it is she who can become the first target of the Taliban.
And yes, the Armed Forces of the Central Asian republics will be able to oppose something to them if there are no unrest within the states themselves. And they will. There is someone to create them.
Recruiters, emissaries, preachers will be drawn there one way or another. Will excite the local population.
There are also people from the CIS countries in the Taliban who export their ideas to their homeland.
So everything is very very serious. And even if you believe the Taliban, they will not go further. So be it.
But literature, ideology, recruiters do not know borders.
Well, all Western weapons will now spread to neighboring countries. Local Islamists will receive it.

Why do they immediately "laugh", they just want to look civilized in front of the whole world for free. It's a smart decision to change your army from underpants to uniform. Now it will be much more difficult for the world's media to maintain a stable disgust of the masses of the people.
