Usually terrorists get funding to arm themselves. Biden skipped that step and just gave them tens of billions $ of the best weapons in the world.

@itsoeasy No it isn't. It's not even close. Don't be a fool. Completely different weapons, situation, times and conditions.

@itsoeasy Vehicles? Helicopters? Missiles? They're more powerful now than most of our allies.

Biden screwed up. BIG-TIME. That's the long and short of it.

But you're welcome to continue pretending he didn't.

@ididntknow Are you saying he's a complete idiot? I'd have to agree.
