Hilarious nonsense. Let me know when Afghanistan attacks the West. I won't be holding my breath.
The U.S. Left Billions Worth of Weapons in Afghanistan
Some officials are worried that the Taliban could use U.S. drones and small arms.foreignpolicy.com
Almost 80 U.S. aircraft—with control panels smashed out—were left abandoned at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport when the United States pulled out last August.
...The Defense Department insists that it’s unlikely the Taliban could use the American weapons left behind because they require specialized maintenance and technical support that was once provided by U.S. contractors.

The Pentagon insists that U.S. forces were able to destroy or render inoperable much of the equipment and weapons provided to Afghanistan before the troop withdrawal, a figure that amounted to $18.6 billion.
“It is important to remember that the $7.12 billion figure cited in the department’s recent report to Congress corresponds to [Afghan National Defense and Security Forces] equipment and not U.S. military equipment used by our forces,” said Maj. Rob Lodewick, a Defense Department spokesperson.
“Nearly all equipment used by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan was either retrograded or destroyed prior to our withdrawal and is not part of the $7.12 billion figure cited in the report.”
Now what a ridiculous post, you suggesting that nothing was left behind? Lol.Now read the article. Much of that equipment was rendered inoperable before the Americans left, so it can't be used. The other vehicles require special training and maintenance, which the Taliban lack.
Your claim that Biden gave the Taliban billions of dollars worth of weapons, is false.

In 2021, before the Ukraine invasion, by a private law firm not a bank. Try harder.
He was under sanctions at the time, keep up.
It is directly related to Ukraine, if you understand the article.and this is the Ukraine invasion thread. Are you trying to derail another thread again?

Prigozhin hired Discreet Law in 2021 to sue the UK journalist Eliot Higgins for libel for suggesting the Russian was connected to Wagner
How exactly is that relevant to the Ukraine invasion?
The FT article also states that Prigozhin mother is now also under sanctions to prevent this loophole happening again.
I understand, again, you are trying to derail a thread with irrelevant off-topics.

I just found your report a tad ironic considering you posted a similar link? Also please can you show me the rule where links to paywall sites are forbidden? I must've forgotten when we put the rules together...I am sure you can use cl_newmans link, which you say doesn't breach any t&cs.

And Ukraine repelled Russia's initial invasion without western support in the first place.
Ukraine is going to fight for every inch of their land / country because they know what Russia will do to their women and children if they are allowed to win. Removing western support doesn't stop the bloodshed, it just means more Ukrainians will die.
Unfortunately I fear that Russia may eventually succeed, they clearly don't care how many of their men die in the meat grinder. However Ukraine (and the rest of the world) need to make sure that Russia pays a very high price for that victory to stop them doing it again to anyone else in this generation.
With Western support they will never win. Biden has already made that commitment.
