Non-exportable items

[Vanguard.45]

Think for a moment about all of the firearms-related gear and accessories you purchase that have warnings against allowing them to be exported outside the United States, such as certain optics or night vision or other advanced technology.

Now think about how INCREDIBLY MEANINGLESS these sorts of warnings are in light of the $80 BILLION DOLLARS worth of military-grade equipment the Biden Administration left in Afghanistan just waiting for the Taliban to pick up and sell to every enemy we have in the world!

Brilliant!

Wouldn't want the Chinese to know how to make an EoTech, now would we?

Export Licensing is for Contractors...not Uncle Sam.

Gotta wonder why? What does it matter how it gets out there or by whom? The whole point was for it NOT to get out there, right?

Got to disagree with you on this. Certain items not leaving the country is not important, it is making sure the "proper" people make money on the transactions. Like Leadeye says, "Follow the money." Jim.

Well, by giving our enemies $80 billion worth of weapons and supplies, it ensures there will be wars ahead and money for weapons contractors!

The key word in "export licensing" is "licensing." The purpose of ITAR is just to give the government _control_ over who gets it, via issuing licenses.

The Taliban just got the "battlefield" version
