Biden administration was warned LAST MONTH by US diplomats in Kabul of an impending Taliban 'catastrophe' if troops withdrew and was urged to evacuate ALL Americans starting on August 1

• 23 diplomats wrote a memo to Antony Blinken with warnings on July 13
• Cable warned of the Taliban's advancing threat and collapse of Afghan forces
• Also suggested State Department should take a tougher stance on the Taliban
• The memo also suggested ways to speed up evacuations from Afghanistan
• Is the latest in a list of reported warnings the Biden administration potentially ignored as American forces left
• Report is damning evidence that the Biden administration was warned by its own officials of the impending disaster

China Admits Taliban Ties Aimed at Getting Afghanistan’s $3 Trillion in Rare Earths

In the course of hectoring the United States for its “bungled and embarrassing withdraw from Afghanistan” on Thursday, China’s state-run Global Times admitted Beijing has a rapacious interest in Afghanistan’s vast rare-earths mineral resources and snarled it was none of America’s business if China makes deals with the Taliban to get what it wants.
The Global Times accused the U.S. of profiteering from Afghanistan for the past twenty years, without offering any theories on where all the plunder might have gone, and claimed America is only worried about China going after those mineral resources because the U.S. is jealous:

^^^Yeah I've noticed the Taliban display a surprising amount of trigger discipline in many of their photos.

This smug SOB has the gall to blame the chaos in Kabul on the Afghans putting down their weapons and not fighting off the Taliban. How dare they hide from them after you removed all of their support and armed the enemy and ran away yourself. Joe Biden is a horrific president and the blood of all those people over there that are being and will be slaughtered is on his hands.

The more I see of this, the madder I get about it. What a mess.

Don't look at it...I'm not. I pulled the plug on cable TV after the so called "election" and I can't tell you how nice it is not to have that stinking propaganda POS going in my house anymore. I'm not listening to the "news" on radio, either. I'm just checking the weather and every now and then take a quick peruse thru the headlines to make sure WWlll isn't about to start...just like I do when I'm vacationing in Hawaii. Turn on the phone once a day, take a 10 minute cruise and back in the pocket it goes.

I'm not missing much, really.

[devo_stevo]

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to do that. I can't affect any real change in the larger picture, but I can make things better in my own world. I think I'll have to just do that.

[oldno7]

I disconnected from cable a long time ago.
Just watch occasional local channels on the antennae.
Even all the local SLC stations are unabashed liberal hacks.

Wait, so who is watching the news? If ya'll aren't, I may have to go elsewhere for information.

We just make it up.
Most thinking folks look at reliable, online sources for real news.

But wait--BREAKING NEWS
