On Wednesday, Taliban members paraded around a former American air base with abandoned American vehicles and weapons in observance of the third anniversary of the disastrous American pullout from Afghanistan. The Biden administration left behind billions of dollars in US military supplies while 13 US servicemembers were killed by a suicide bomber.
The Taliban flag was flown by a motorcycle formation and uniformed soldiers marched with light and heavy machine guns in commemoration of the takeover. Kabul's streets were covered with pickup trucks that were packed with militant males of all ages.
According to Fox News, Taliban Cabinet members celebrated accomplishments like fortifying Islamic law and putting in place a military apparatus that purportedly offered "peace and security."
Speaking to a global audience, the Taliban urged the West to communicate and work with the nation's leaders. As of right now, no nation acknowledges the Taliban as the official government of Afghanistan.
"The Islamic Emirate eliminated internal differences and expanded the scope of unity and cooperation in the country. No one will be allowed to interfere in internal affairs, and Afghan soil will not be used against any country," said Deputy Prime Minister Maulvi Abdul Kabir on Wednesday.
America's fight to overthrow the Taliban and find the al-Qaeda members accountable for the 9/11 attacks was centered around Bagram Airfield. US Army Veteran Bill Roggio told Fox News: "This is the Taliban rubbing their victory over us in our face," adding that, "The Biden administration's effort to get out of Afghanistan quickly has led to the Taliban having an American-supplied arsenal."

Suicide bombers killed 183 people, including 13 US service members, during a mass evacuation at Kabul airport on August 26, 2021. The United States replied by unleashing two drone strikes on suspects of ISIS-K terrorists, one of which killed ten Afghan civilians, including seven children. The failures of the withdrawal from Afghanistan have been placed on the Biden administration which experts have described as significant incompetence.
