    Watch: Taliban appear to fly US-made Black Hawk helicopter
    The Taliban appeared to put their new air force on parade after
    securing a massive bounty of lethal weapons left behind by US forces.

    Today, the Taliban declared whole victory within the 20-year warfare .. America's defeat to only 75,000 murderous medieval thugs is thus full.
    And the complete scale of that defeat is simply slowly turning into depressingly clear. The appalling scenes within the rapid aftermath of
    the withdrawal had been horrendous sufficient .. But to rub salt within
    the corpses, blood and wounds, gleeful Taliban fighters have been
    marching round taunting America by posing in US navy garments and tools, holding mock funerals for American, British, French and NATO forces,
    looking down and killing anybody who supported the US or its allies ..

    And there's nothing President Biden can do about it .. America's supine
    give up to a bunch of ragbag oppressive mountain killers, who they've
    now changed into a vastly better-equipped navy drive, means the US is
    now in a worse position than it was in 2001 .. And the remainder of the
    world now thinks the United States cannot be trusted ..

    ...

    Things will be getting worse for America.

    Russia completes tests of S-500 air defense system, starts supplying

    defense system and can intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles and aircraft .. The antiaircraft missile
    system, which is expected to have a maximum firing range of 600

    The US Air Force (USAF) in February this year admitted before the
    government that the highly advanced F-35 is a failure. Riddled with cost overruns, high life-cycle expenses, maintenance issues, and a host of
    technical deficiencies, the stealth jet - along with other failed
    projects like the Zumwalt and the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) of the US
    Navy - have become a liability. This is amidst a US military revamping fundamental doctrinal concepts ..

    .. A deficient cockpit pressure regulation system that caused extreme
    sinus pain; the night vision camera of the Helmet Mounted Display
    showing horizontal green lines; the North Grumman AN/APG-81 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar that was unable to scan a
    wider area; and an "inaccurate" 25 mm gun on some of the variants that
    also caused "vibration stress" on the airframe. These were identified as
    the remaining four 'Category 1' deficiencies by the F-35 Joint Programme Office, which had originally listed a total of 13 such defects. By the beginning of this year, the aircraft's Pratt & Whitney F-135 engines
    were "overheating" to crack their fan blade coatings - now assumed to
    also affect the more complex engine of the F-35B ..

    Each engine for the F-35A, the Air Force variant, costs approximately
    $10.8 million; the more complex engine for the F-35B costs $24 million.
    The plane itself costs a minimum of $80 million per unit, making it the costliest fighter jet in the world so far .. Bloomberg has predicted 20
    percent of the Air Force's F-3As to be grounded by 2025. This is not to
    mention the 850 Category 2 deficiencies that the F-35 Joint Program
    Office (JPO) is tracking ..

    The F-35 symbolizes a broader issue with the US Military-Industrial
    Complex (MIC) itself. If inducing wars through its political influence
    and threatening domestic security with easy availability of guns were
    not enough, the MIC's business interests are now hurting the US' defense preparedness itself.

    American faults are mounting up.
