Afghanistan fiasco may have been the result of blackmail: What if the root cause for Biden's withdrawal is much more ominous and sinister than mere stupidity?
American Thinker ^ | 09/03/2021 | Shari Goodman

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? 

Why would they leave thousands of Americans stranded behind enemy lines while providing the Taliban a "kill list" of those Americans left behind?  Unlike previous withdrawals, where it is customary upon withdrawal to first evacuate our citizens, and then destroy the equipment and blow up the bases, we did the opposite.  We did not evacuate our citizens.  We did not destroy the equipment.  And we did not blow up the bases.

We have learned that the Biden administration cut off all communication with the anti-Taliban resistance group, the National Front.  Although Ali Nazar, head of foreign relations for the group, has said he "tried to reach out," there has been no response from the Biden administration.  Glenn Beck recently reported that his mission to rescue Afghan Christians has been blocked by our State Department and the White House, and he fears that they may be burned alive or crucified by the Taliban.

Are we to believe that our military leadership, led by four-star generals, is so naïve and incompetent?  Highly unlikely!

A more likely scenario is that Afghanistan was surrendered at the urging of the Red Chinese, who saw an opportunity to blackmail old Joe for the many kickbacks he and his son, Hunter, had been taking throughout his years in Washington, D.C.

Biden did a deal .....with who and why isn’t relevant considering the enormous fallout and costs. It was a bad deal and bad judgment all around. He handed a nation over to terrorists without fighting back, as he crapped on all those Americans who fought and died there. Not to mention all those left behind.

Whatever hand China has in this was happily handed over by Biden as well.

Almost a week away from the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and look what we’ve got: a senile president, international humiliation amongst some of the most backward savages in the world, and fiascos aplenty at home.

In this case, blackmailing means slowing the flow of money just a little bit.

In favor of the argument for biden’s stupidity, you have his 50 years of pattern and practice, being wrong on every single foreign policy issue.

The ChiComs may very well own Biden, but for this to be correct then they would have to own everyone associated with this disaster. I vote that it was woke stupidity.

You can’t blackmail a Democrat—they have a mass media firewall protecting them.

More evidence of President Biden’s war on reality is found in this line in the president’s speech: “We’ll continue to speak out for the basic rights of Afghan people, especially women and girls.”

kiryandil: “The Servpro MSM™ will clean up this Afghan mess “like it never even happened!”

The main stream media should have to wear all green to indicate that they work for SERVPRO, since they do so much cleaning up behind Biden.~Colt1851Navy

I said this from the get go he was being bribed by China and others to give up our bases, equipment, Embassy or else.

The most powerful country and military in the world is just not that stupid to do it the way they did without Biden and others being bribed, threatened. It’s sad if this is truly the case and 13 brave Americans died to save Hunter and the rest of the Biden cabal.

“they would have to own everyone associated with this disaster.”

It’s worth of a full scale investigation. You know... special prosecutor, impeachment investigation... same as Trump.

Oh it is definitely much more ominous and sinister than mere stupidity! The destruction of the USA is by design. The installation of Biden as a puppet via the fraudulent 2020 election was well planned. Biden dances to the strings of his puppet masters.

Half of the US population are useful idiots, though some of them know what's going on.

The US Supreme Court justices allowed themselves to be duped and manipulated by the puppet masters in their disastrous December 2020 decision, which made election fraud de facto legal and awarded a tremendous victory to those whose objective is the destruction of the USA. The justices could have and should have saved the USA; they failed miserably. Their decision was undoubtably due to stupidity, nothing more ominous and sinister, and certainly not to evil intent, but nevertheless, because of it, they are as much responsible for the catastrophic Biden Administration and the consequences to the USA and the world as anyone.

Anyone who voted for Biden or for any Democrat also shares the blame.

“Nobody can possibly be that stupid.”

Have you ever even tried to talk to a committed progressive?

Yes, they are that stupid.
