last week we covered a story about how the u_s_ is leaving seven billion
dollars worth of military equipment in afghanistan because it's quote too
expensive to bring back
now my response was you know what else is expensive
losing seven billion dollars
just leaving it there is a act like it did
it's crazy i do i can understand for the life of me well now we have another
insane story coming out of that anniston
the watchdog incharge of overseeing u_s_ spending in afghanistan released a new
report on friday asking why the u_s_ is spending seven hundred million dollars
on russian helicopters to get to the afghanis
they purchased forty-eight aircraft all that total eighteen yr fixed wing p c
twelve cargo planes
uh... coming from the sierra nevada corporation while the other thirty r_
m_i_ seventeen helicopters that are being purchased the russian state arms
dealer
roles in blore in export
of the edited the russian accent there
so why is this a big deal
well number one there's a ban on the pentagon buying russian equipment
since russia is farming assad in syria and we are arming the rebels which is
the other side
and number two
none of the afghani is know how to find them
they bought all these helicopters in the afghan is alike
yeah that's nice have a popular youth as we have no idea what we're doing
now but you might say okay i will probably uh... teach them all we're
still in afghanistan ok fair point no problem there
there's only one more problem
you're gonna be useless once the united states withdrawals
why is that
because they need constant maintenance
and new parts
which they also won't know how to do
so again that they will be dali useless once the u_s_ leaves
uh... you need to understand what we did is essentially we took seven hundred
million dollars and we went
mhm here this is a lot of money is in any of this is nice
under a defense of soviet their fissile we care about seven hundred million
i will now use this for twenty four
way lower u_s_ sell military waco pentagon
another brilliant move on area
