The man-made crisis in Kabul continues to generate new lows for the American people.
After Taliban forces in Kabul seized over $25 billion in American equipment and artillery — left over from twenty years of U.S.-backed defenses in Afghanistan — the terrorist group has turned to using U.S. military uniforms to launch covert battalions and document objectionable anti-America propaganda.
On Saturday, a photo of the Taliban forces was released, showing one of the costumed battalions — Badri 313 — recreating, and deliberately mocking, a landmark moment in U.S. history.
Seen mimicking the 1945 Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, the Taliban forces have been using the photograph as propaganda for its troops; attempting to equate the incompetency of President Joe Biden and the U.S. State Department to the heroic forces that overcame the perils of World War II.
Or simply making a mockery of America knowing that the administration will remain mum on the Taliban’s siege of Kabul.
Threats from the Taliban forces in possession of the new gear have increased concerns among U.S. officials. The terrorist group inherited a passel of U.S. guns, spying equipment, armored vehicles, air support, and billions more in gear.
According to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Taliban forces have beaten several Americans attempting to enter Hamid Karzai International Airport for evacuation. President Biden stated the opposite, in an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
Intelligence forces remain uncertain over threat levels posed by the newly armed terrorist forces, along with no available estimate on the number of Americans currently stuck in a hostage situation in Kabul — over a week since the siege.
United States National Archives: On February 23, 1945, during the battle for Iwo Jima, U.S. Marines raised a flag atop Mount Suribachi. It was taken down, and a second flag was raised. Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal captured this second flag-raising. Now part of U.S. Navy records, it is one of the most famous war photographs in U.S. history.

Joe Biden did this. Along with the ridiculous price of gas. Let me know who’s an idiotic liberal is here, so I can send you an invoice for the additional $20 it takes when I fill up my tank. We have an illegitimate administration in office.
I find it hard to believe the Taliban thought to do this on their own – if you know what I’m sayin..
This has China written all over it. They love to mock us.
Send a Tomahawk up their ass motherfuckers
Right. I doubt they are well versed in US WW2 history.
I’m sure there are some Marines out there that would like to give them a personal lesson.
Get our people out and nuke it.
They should also know the Iwo Jima battle continued for about a month after the iconic photo was taken and most of those guys were killed in battle
Take the pic and article down…..shouldn’t give these assholes a second of the 15 minutes of fame they want.

In this instance, I disagree. Leave it up so no one ever forgets the responsible party. In 20 years, in their wildest dreams, could a feat like this ever have been pulled off without the potato tucking tail and running like a fucking coward for this opportunity to occur. The left, when in positions of leadership have a history of turning operations into an abortion. This should be on every screen come election day.

You think that will work on election day? A picture? Fucking idiots voted for a bag of bones. Please
Thank you Linda.
Get this off of here. You guys got my ‘click’ but also understand the Taliban is pleased with your decision to post it
Good point.
That photo precisely illustrates the Democrat Party’s affect on the world over the last 8 months.
Democratic party? lol we’re living in the past. We need to take this country back. Let’s stop playing games. We think a picture will save us HA get real
I’m not sure I follow your comment.
Again, nowhere to be seen in the mainstream media. But imagine if this happened while Trump was prez…
