The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan held a “show-of-force” parade at Bagram Air Base, displaying billions of dollars of American and Western-made military equipment to diplomatic onlookers from China and Iran today.
Bagram was the US’s largest air base in the country for 20 years, and was seized by the Taliban on August 15th, 2021, after the Western-backed government imploded due to absent support and managerial incompetence from the Biden administration and its cronies.

As of yet, the Taliban is not recognized as an official government on the world stage, due to their tyrannical and oppressive treatment of their fellow countrymen, but have obvious strategic support trade agreements with China, Iran, et al.
Under Taliban rule, there are reports of mass starvation, extreme unemployment, and indescribable human rights violations against men and women of all ages.
With massive sanctions imposed by the West and its national banking assets seized by the United States, economic development in Afghanistan is nonexistent.
The Taliban claims that its forces are 150,000 men strong, with an additional 50,000 national police force. This is in addition to the estimated 10,000 foreign fighters currently operating within its borders at the behest of the tyrannical “government”.
