On to Foxnews dot com, welcome back to a special edition of Tucker Carlson tonight. Over the past two decades, american taxpayers shelled out nearly ninety dollars billion for military equipment for the afghan army that included everything from an entire air force, black hawk helicopters, aircraft, hundreds of thousands of battle rifles, trucks, armored vehicles. Now the Taliban has a lot of that equipment. It is one of the best armed militaries of its size in the world. The Taliban Victor Davis, Hanson, is a fellow at the Hoover institution. We are honored to have him with us tonight. Professor. Thank you very much for coming. The Taliban come after twenty years is more legitimate in the eyes of the so called international community and very heavily armed much better than it was in two thousand and one. How do you assess this development? I think we are underestimating it Tucker. If you look at all the military aid that we have given Israel

since the founding of the jewish state. This is about eighty five percent of that. Over a seventy year period, we are all worried about the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford, twelve dollars billion. The most expensive aircraft carrier in history, we could have had seven of them for the price of money for the price of weapons that we have left in Afghanistan. We talk about tanks, the weapon depot that we left. Afghanistan has equivalent worth of three times of all the tanks that we have ever deployed. We have ever had in the army and finally, we are all upset about the F 35 fighter, the ninety dollars million boondoggle. Some people think it is- we could have had a thousand of those for the amount of equipment we left in Afghanistan. So this is the greatest loss of military equipment in the history of warfare by one power, its absolutely staggering, and yet we take it so nonchalantly.

The people responsible for this should be either fired or resigned. They have done so much damage to the United States and they have empowered a precivilizational terrorist band into making them into a considerable. You know militia that will cause havoc for the next twenty years and I think it is just atrocious and nobody is taking any blame for it. This is well aside from the seven thousand scanners. They left that are now being used to find out who helped us. This is beyond the list of names of people who wanted to get out that the Taliban have and the final thing Tucker. As we were told by a top ranking general again and again that the Taliban, we have the same agenda, we wanted out quickly by the 31st they did so we could trust them. We were working together, but we didnt have an agenda that was anywhere near there is their agenda. Was we want you out on the 31st, but we want to

cause as much humiliation, death and destruction as we can get away with, so you dont come back and we wanted none of that. So there is something terribly wrong with our military. I dont know whether it is their distraction because of wokeness as they go through the ranks and rosters trying to weed out potential. I dont know supremacists or they are just incompetent, or they are too worried about the revolving door of going in and out from defense contractor boards, but we need a bipartisan investigation of our top brass and the system, its a systemic failure and its costing us dearly possible. The anglosphere is committing mass suicide. That is another explanation, as you are seeing it all over the world from.
