That is only ONE of the rich deposits.
What about Bolivia? Australia? Argentina?
No one can corner the market with out those reserves.

Trump said that while leaving Afghanistan is "a wonderful and positive thing to do," he had set a May 1 withdrawal deadline and added that "we should keep as close to that schedule as possible."

Operative word... "possible". See as a businessman Trump knew how any plan has a number of factors that can not
be controlled. That's why this was put in place by Trump.
Joe Biden’s State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.
EXC: Joe Biden's State Dept Halted a Trump-Era 'Crisis Response' Plan Aimed at Avoiding Benghazi-Style Evacuations Just MONTHS Before Taliban Takeover.
Because Biden a politician put his political position ahead of reality, i.e. hatred of Trump, he cancelled all Trump's plans.
Keystone. Federal land leases. All cancelled including the above because Biden used emotion i.e. hatred of Trump
to make irrational decisions. And now American lives are going to be lost.

And China will now get them thanks to BIDEN putting the taliban in.The Taliban are sitting on $1 trillion worth of minerals the world desperately needs
here are also rare earth minerals and, perhaps most importantly, what could be one of the world's biggest deposits of lithium — an essential but scarce component in rechargeable batteries and other technologies vital to tackling the climate crisis
Still, there's interest from countries including China, Pakistan and India, which may try to engage despite the chaos.
The Taliban are sitting on $1 trillion worth of minerals the world desperately needs
The swift fall of Afghanistan to Taliban fighters has triggered a humanitarian crisis, with thousands trying to flee the country. It's also brought renewed focus on Afghanistan's vast untapped mineral wealth, resources that could transform its economic prospects if ever developed.edition.cnn.com
So all you Biden battery supporters that are in favor of electric cars?
A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used for portable electronics and electric vehicles and are growing in popularity for military and aerospace applications.
Where will we get this lithium now that China will control this source?

Trump voided three other withdrawal dates because conditions on the ground were not right and the Taliban kept breaking promises...so he had the military hit them hard....
They must like fighting then. Of course getting those minerals may cause an environmental issue or two to certain people. Face the facts. Access to minerals and oil and other things keeps nations running smoothly.Rich in copper, lithium, talc, marble, gold, uranium and others, Afghanistan’s vast mineral wealth is estimated to exceed one trillion dollars. But according to data, every year the government loses around $300m in revenue from mining.
Why is Afghanistan unable to extract its vast mineral wealth?
Poor security, weak legislation and corruption plague mining in Afghanistan, investors and experts tell Al Jazeera.www.aljazeera.com
They make the most money from talc.
Why talc is bad?
In its natural form, some talc contains asbestos, a substance known to cause cancers in and around the lungs when inhaled (see Asbestos). ... Whether people who have long-term exposure to talc particles at work, such as talc miners, are at higher risk of lung cancer from breathing them in.
Talc is a mineral substance used in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products from baby powders to eye shadows

We should have left as soon as we knew UBL was not in Afghanistan.

Oh. . . I do follow that money.
But the difference between you and I? I am not wedded to any particular candidate or political party, so my vision on this is much, much more clear, than I think yours is.
You are wedded to a party, a man, and? You have this false notion that nations are more powerful than multi-national corporations or transnational world governing bodies. . . as if these global oligarchs all wouldn't sell out their own populations. You have this erroneous belief that nations even matter anymore, any more than national political parties do. It is really, REALLY sad. I suppose you still think elections matter too, eh?
At least you know most media is fake as shit. . . but you go right on believing the bullshit they feed you, night after ever-living night. WHY?!
All of them. And all of it, is fake and phony. You know this, but insist we discuss this bullshit on THEIR TERMS.
Your blinders stop you from even considering the most simple explanations for the lies told on your TEE VEE, from all sides, as the multinational corporations own them all
The folks that want that lithium on the market? They could care less whether it comes from China or the US, they hold no allegiance to either nation, and. . .in the end, will enslave us all. . . Even if they have to engineer a war between all nation's to unite the entire world under one totalitarian world government and world currency to do so.
And YOU SIR? You play right into their hands about 75% of the time. Noice.
6 Questions we NEED to ask about Afghanistan
So, what’s REALLY going on? Is the apparent Taliban “victory” masking the true narrative?
6 Questions we NEED to ask about Afghanistan
Afghanistan has “fallen”, that’s the line. The Taliban forces have taken the opportunity of US/NATO withdrawal and swept across the entire country, taking every major city within …
off-guardian.org
1. Did the Taliban really just win?
2. Is the chaos real?
" . . .All of this serves a purpose, aside from the distraction of emotive metaphors and lurid headlines. It all aids in the construction of a narrative.
In this case, the ideas of US “mistakes” and “incompetence” and “wishful thinking” are discussed at length, without ever touching on the true mendacity at the heart of the Afghan invasion.
The “end” of the Afghan war is being used to re-brand its beginnings. The Taliban are propped up as villains, again, and associated with Al Qaeda, as if they were ever anything but a Western tool in the first place.
People are talking about “spreading democracy” and “counter-terrorism” as if they were the real aims of the war, instead of long-discredited lies.
Marketing Afghanistan as a “defeat” for the US camouflages the truth of it – the war was a VERY profitable business venture.
And, of course, it all serves to reinforce the frail official story of 9/11, a vital keystone in the construction of our geo-political “reality”. . . "
3. What about the heroin?
4. Will there be any Political Fallout?
" . . .Geo-politically, the talk is of Russia and China – the only two counties to officially recognise the Taliban government – “stepping into the void”. This is being played as a victory for America’s enemies (and another stick with which to beat Biden), but does that really mean anything?The Covid “pandemic” has been an eye-opener in terms of conflict between nations. They’ve shown us that, when they really need to, they work together to the same end. They tell the same lies, sell the same stories, and want the same thing. The wall at the back of the theatre has been revealed, in that regard.
The truth is, no matter which nations notionally hold sway in Afghanistan, the profits from the war, the lithium and the heroin will all end up going to the same few pockets. Corporations rule, not countries. Nation-states are no longer the players of the Great Game, they are the pieces. Toys for corporate megaliths. Their owners can make them fight each other, or bump them together and make kissy noises. Each is equally meaningless. . . ."
5. Is there another “Refugee Crisis” on the way?
". . .That importing asylum seekers, undocumented, from a near-failed state could be suggested at all during an allegedly “deadly pandemic” is a sign of just how contrived both narratives are.
It’s not said much – but corporations love refugees. Just like illegal immigrants, undocumented refugees can be used as cheap labour, with none of the legal protections of full citizens. They can then be blamed for deteriorating living standards, unemployment and wage stagnation. They act as a heat-sink for public anger.
Further, “refugees” with no passports are a great way to get your trained mercenaries, agitators, saboteurs, and/or special forces across national borders without leaving a trail. . . . "
6. Will we see a major terrorist attack?

Not like this...how many people do you have to hear saying this is a catastrophe before you accept it?....
If Trump did this...(and he may have if he had the time no one knows)....you would rightfully be calling for him to step down.....

Trump never wanted to do a total withdrawal? Are you on Afghani smack?
Guarantees, enforcement mechanisms, and announcement of a timeline for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Afghanistan.
Oddly enough China isn't mentioned in the agreement.
