Our political pundits are focusing on Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan as a political blunder by the president and our military leaders, but what if the root cause for Biden's withdrawal is much more ominous and sinister than mere stupidity? The following questions demand an answer. Why would our military commanders willingly give up Bagram, a strategic airport built by the Russians, and why would they willingly leave $85 billion in military hardware behind?

Joe Biden has wanted out since at least the late 'oughts; got the supreme power; and didn't (and doesn't) care.

Xicom is doing rare mineral exploration, exploiting parasitically upon US development & technology. Bidet is helping by shutting down US mineral , oil producing exploration in federal lands ..all done , gone . there are many rare and wonderful necessary compounds , elements here ..like Texas is beryllium rich , ditto petrochemicals.. The double whammy of shutting down our independent discoveries and giving up our gains /technology is the sickening advance of terrorist gov’ts that can , will and have killed us/US .Blackmail is obvious because the $$$ gains bad people have accrued are monumental.

It is practically a given this is what happened.
Might want to check Eric Swalwell and his "bang bang fang fang' relationship also.

Sounds about right to me. Biden is nothing but a greedy con man. He has used his years in Washington to enrich himself and his family. He should rot in hell!

I thought of this early on. Glad someone is finally talking about it.

Sometimes it is the obvious that is most overlooked. Biden's purposeful actions relative to encouraging the illegal alien invasion of Texas and other states, combined with his Afghanistan fiasco, the trashing of our economy, and the emasculation of our military add up a pattern of willful damage to our country. It doesn't take blackmail to hate and destroy.

The problem with this theory is that China was going to get the mineral rights regardless of how we exited. The US has lost Asia. Like it or not China and Russia are the main powers in the region. The only thing blackmail would gain is forcing the administration to see that they exist only at China's pleasure and the exercise was to create a tremendous loss of face for the US. The real prize is Taiwan and control over the sea routes. The American public no longer sees this muppet as an effective leader with any strength and there is no confidence in military leadership. Will the American people support a war with China over Taiwan? I think not, especially under this administration. The barometric pressure is dropping rapidly around the world. Thank the democrat party!

2 numbers keep being thrown around $85Billion(which is what the Pentagon spent there) and $2 Trillion...which is the over all costs. The 1st is the "War Cost", the second is the "Nation Building" costs, primarily programs Verrrrrry similar to the current "Build Back Better" Dem spending plan, programs that totally FAILED in Afghanistan, and EVERY other place they have been implemented. Program expenditures DEMANDED by Dems in congress before they would approve the Military budgets. Programs thought up, promoted and promulgated by G. Soros institutions then and now. Even afghan Prez.Gahni was/is a G. Soros pawn. His "State Creation" agency/think tank/NGO was/is a G Soros creation. Math it out...25 TIMES as much spent on "Nation Building/social/Infrastructure" as Military.

blackmail. oh boy. This explains why Turtle and the dims have been strangely supportive of biden the cheater and his chaotic surrender. He was similarly blackmailed into not badmouthing the manner in which the surrender was handled.

I've never believed this debacle was the result of stupidity, ignorance nor misfeasance. Too many very obvious disastrous events to have be considered chance. Of course it was intentional.
Biden (and handlers) made a deal with the devil to make him look good, but the devil did what he always does.

The CCP installed Joe Biden in the presidency. Yes, they control him 100%, and many others in our Congress, government, and businesses. When Biden says they told him not to say that, he means XI. Biden looks and acts like a political prisoner. Look at that video with him bowing his head into his hands. The CCP has declared unconventional war on America. Social credit scores are being kept on everyone by their lackey's.

Xiden could have stopped this in its tracks months ago by stepping up and admitting that he was being blackmailed. If he gave a flying fig for this country he would have done that and then resigned. He and Hunter might have had to do some prison time unless Commie-la pardoned them, but it would have been worth it for an honorable man. He could have saved those 13 servicemen and the whole nation at the same time.

Blackmail ???
How about Hunter will be in Peking on Tuesday to get the big guy's cut.
Everybody seems to want lithium lately for some strange reason.

Oh, please...Ol' Joe is everybody's fool. Blackmail? Joe can't discern better or worse of anything. He was doing the bidding of his UNIPARTY handlers. That's his job, his only job. Does anyone seriously think the Pentagon takes orders from this CINC...what, Crazy-in-Charge? Yeah, sure.

What will Biden say and do if the Taliban invite the Chinese Communists to take over the Bagram Airbase to use as their transit point to fly rare earth minerals from landlocked Afghanistan over the mountains to China and to use as a Chinese air and military base? As it stands now, Biden would probably send Harris to attend the Bagram change of command ceremony!

Check Blinken, Austin, Milley, and others bank accounts foreign and domestic, for deposits from China and Russia. How can these people live with themselves, let alone live. Traitors of the 1st order and there are many, many more.

How can China blackmail Biden when there is already enough evidence available to hang him for treason? I always disagreed with Rush--we are surrounded by idiots in this country.

We saw early on the leverage that China has over Joe and Hunter. This was always a possibility. What will he be forced to do next?

As the wise Xi Jinping once said, "Shall I destroy you "Surrender Joe" or will you give me what I want?" And Joe did, gave him Afghanistan and its mineral wealth.

(Cough in my opinion cough) American Thinker has become the leading exponent of tin-foil-hat-screwed-on-too-tight right wing conspiracy loony binism. They think their logo is Uncle Sam sitting on a rock, but it's not a rock, it's a toilet, and it's giving conservatism a bad name (cough in my opinion cough).
