Your Enemies Get Stronger on What You Leave Behind
(00:00.55)
Godfather 3, they’re having a sit down in Sicily. This was after the massacre in Atlantic City. And they’re trying to figure out who’s behind what. And there was something that was said, they were actually talking about how the Corleone family, oh, they’re out of, you know, certain criminal enterprises. And they make the statement that your enemies get stronger by what you leave behind. And that most certainly is true.
And again, we do things to ourselves. And I remember after we had the godforsaken, terrible withdrawal from Afghanistan. Now, I’m here to tell you, OK, I wanted out of Afghanistan ages and ages and ages ago, but there’s a right way of doing things and a wrong way of doing things and leaving billions upon billions of dollars of taxpayer paid for weapons and equipment. So the Taliban.
could take it is unconscionable to me. Okay, I don’t care if you got to load it into containers and dump it into the fricking ocean. You don’t leave it there because then guess what? It gets sold. It gets, it turns into an open air market. We’ve discussed this before that there’s places you could go to in Yemen where you buy weapons and they’re all made in the USA, baby.
That was part of the freaking plot of Iron Man 1 for crying out loud when Tony Stark gets blown up by his own missile shot at him by some jihadi group in Afghanistan. Well, guess what? Just as we expected. Advanced US made firearms are in the possession of Hamas.
certain Republicans out there demanding answers from the Pentagon about what’s being done to make sure American made weapons don’t end up in the wrong hands. What the hell is a Pentagon freaking care, man? Pentagon, big freaking big, isn’t it the biggest building per square footage in the world, if I’m not mistaken? All they do is spend taxpayer dollars and then ask for more.

US manufactured weapons are being redistributed and resold in secondary markets to terrorist organizations, including Hamas. Yeah, and these are weapons. Guess where they’re coming from? Not just Afghanistan. Okay, because we did leave seven, seven billion dollars worth of weapons. Seven billion dollars.
they’re also getting weapons from Ukraine. That’s right, because we know how up and up everything is over there and there’s no corruption in Ukraine. Only the most corrupt nation in Europe and we’re just, hey, go, we’re sending guns. Well, you don’t think that people say, hey, let’s sell these things. Let’s move these things. And that’s what they’re doing. They’re being diverted to the Middle East.
The possession of US weapons by terrorists is alarming in light of the terrorist group’s recent horrific attack on Israel. You don’t say. You don’t say. Again, the Department of Defense has got nothing to say about this. Again, there was a report. This is actually going back to this past June.
(03:48.642)
forces saying that the Israeli military was concerned that US-made weapons provided to Ukraine were being diverted and ending up in the hands of Israel’s enemies in the Middle East.
Again, surprise anybody at all? No. Again, as a taxpayer and concerned American here, I mean, at what point in time, we’d just throw our hands up there just how disgusted we are with these people in Washington, D.C. and their utter carelessness in regards to being stewards of our money.
stewards of our money, not to mention the fact that these weapons are gonna be turned on our kids. You know it, and I know it. Well, that’s okay. We got the Pentagon on it. We could check some boxes and we could spend some more money. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
