Good day all. There is so much going on regarding the Fall of Kabul and the blinding stupidity of President Dementia’s maladministration, it’s hard to keep up.
Now we are finding out that the Taliban is going to get access to some $10 billion dollars in cash, and President Dementia has no plans, (Or ideas), about what do do about it. Here are the details from the Washington Free Beacon:
As the Biden administration scrambles to evacuate American personnel from Afghanistan, it is overlooking the Taliban’s plans to seize some $10 billion in assets held by Afghanistan’s central bank, according to congressional foreign policy leaders.
Somewhere between $18 and $20 million in cash sits in the Afghan central bank’s vaults and is likely to fall into the Taliban’s hands unless the United States attempts to intercept the funds and fly them out of the country—a scenario that sources say is unlikely as the Biden administration struggles to pull Americans out of Taliban-controlled Kabul.
The United States, during the early days of World War Two, was able to remove over 20 TONS of gold and silver from the Philippines after the Japanese invaded. They can’t figure out how to get $20 million dollars in cash from the Kabul bank vaults? Maybe they should ask some gang bangers in Los Angeles. I’m sure they could come up with something in short order, especially if they got to keep a good sized finder’s fee.
The Treasury Department would not answer questions about any plan it has to secure cash still located inside the country. A Biden administration official, speaking only on background about the matter, told the Washington Free Beacon that all Afghan assets held as investments in the United States—which amount to around $7 billion—have been frozen and “will not be made available to the Taliban.”
For now. You have just given the Taliban a motive to grab and hold every single American, and probably other foreign national currently trying to escape President Bumbles Dementia’s Epic Biden Failure.
The Afghan central bank has around $10 billion in total assets, most of which are stored outside the country and out of the Taliban’s reach in the short term. Taliban leaders are pressing bank officials to give them access to these funds, according to Afghan government officials.
Of course, this is the most incompetent administration in American History. Even the maladministration of the Great Mistake, Fubar Obama wasn’t this bad.
Republican foreign policy leaders in Congress say the Biden administration is in no place to secure Afghanistan’s fortune given its disorganized evacuation of Americans from the country, which is still taking place. They say the administration had no contingency plans in place and failed to anticipate the Taliban’s quick return to power.
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said it is Congress’s responsibility to make sure the Taliban does not become wealthy as a result of its government takeover.
“While I am glad the administration has indicated it will not allow the Taliban to gain access to Afghan reserves held in the United States, it’s up to Congress to make sure the Taliban does not walk away with a windfall,” Gallagher told the Free Beacon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) “must immediately reconvene Congress for an emergency session so we can do so.”
Yeah, good luck with that! The last thing San Fran Nan wants to do is anything that makes President Dementia and the Communazi Party look even worse then it already does. If that dried up hag did call Congress back, and they came up with a plan to fix the mess of their installed President, it will be yet another nail in the Communazi party’s political coffin.
The United States froze cash shipments to Afghanistan during the weekend, when the Taliban marched into Kabul and retook control of the country. Some in the Biden administration, however, have floated plans to unfreeze Afghanistan’s cash reserves or offer the Taliban foreign aid if it agrees to spare the embattled U.S. embassy compound in Kabul, according to one source with knowledge of the ongoing deliberations. The administration could also be forced to repatriate a portion of these funds as part of future negotiations with the Taliban that are certain to take place in the coming weeks and months.
What are these idiots smoking? If they actually do unfreeze the money, all they are going to do is make a terrible situation, of their own making, even worse. (If that’s possible)
Still, the Taliban is doing all it can to get its hand on any money still stashed inside the country, and its leaders are “asking [central bank] officials about the location of assets,” according to Ajmal Ahmady, the bank’s most recent governor, who fled the country as the Taliban marched into Kabul.
No doubt they are using the “Pliers of Persuasion” on them. It’s possible that they can’t get into the vaults and need the remaining officials how to open them.
Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), also a member of the House Armed Services Committee, slammed the Biden administration’s lack of planning.
“The Biden administration has no planned evacuation route for Americans. No plan to secure the perimeter of the Kabul airport. No plan to keep billions of high-tech equipment away from the Taliban. No plan to stop the Taliban from seizing billions of American dollars,” Banks told the Free Beacon. “He has endangered thousands of Americans and empowered our enemies. Biden’s incompetence is an embarrassment to the United States.”
President Bumbles Dementia’s incompetence, (Professional and mental), is far worse then embarrassing, it’s dangerous. We haven’t seen this level of incompetence since the Carter Maladministration, when he and Zbigniew Brzezinski allowed Ayatollah Khomeini to overthrow the Shaw of Iran because he “Wasn’t a nice guy.” Under Carter, the Soviet Union was able to take over a number of countries because “It would be wrong to do what needed to be done to stop them.”
The Soviet Union was interested in World Domination of course, but they understood there were certain rules they had to play by to avoid WW 3. However, it took the very competent administration of the Greatest President of the 20th Century, Ronald Reagan, to turn the Red Tide back and led to the eventual collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. What Dementia Joe has managed to accomplish in 6 months is stunning in it’s level of incompetence. The damage could be irreparable, and could lead to a third world war.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the administration “systematically misled Congress and the American people” about the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
And this surprises you? Dementia Joe has been wrong on every major, (And most minor), policy decisions for his entire career. He is blindingly stupid, and now what mental capacity he once had is rapidly evaporating.
“They had no plan to prevent the Taliban from seizing everything from territory to billions of dollars’ worth of assets from the Afghan government, which the Taliban will use for illicit finance, terrorism, drug running, and an endless list of other activities, all of which put Americans at risk,” Cruz told the Free Beacon through a spokesman. “As they finally begin developing a plan to deal with this national security catastrophe, the Biden-Harris administration must ensure that they prevent the Taliban from accessing these assets.”
Develop a plan? Are you kidding? These morons have proven that they couldn’t plan a field trip to the local Mall for lunch at the food court. There is only one possible remedy now, and that is the removal of Dementia Joe from office, either under the 25th Amendment or by impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate. What we should be doing is increasing the heat on the Communazis to finally do something they know needs to be done, but hat even thinking of. Throwing their president out of office. Frankly, I don’t think they can, which means even worse times are coming.
