January 1, Taliban Strikes MASSIVE Oil Deal While Biden Admin Watches

Wyatt’s Take

• The Taliban just signed a major oil extraction deal with a Chinese state company — proving they’re cashing in on Afghanistan’s natural resources while America got nothing after 20 years of blood and treasure.
• This comes after Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal handed the country to terrorists on a silver platter, leaving behind billions in equipment and zero leverage.
• China’s now doing business with the same Taliban we spent two decades fighting, and our so-called leaders are silent.

The Taliban is getting into the oil business in a big way. After seizing control of Afghanistan in the chaos of Joe Biden’s disastrous 2021 withdrawal, the terrorist regime is now signing deals to extract the country’s natural resources — and they’re doing it with America’s biggest rival.

Reports confirm the Taliban has inked a major oil extraction agreement with a Chinese state-owned company. That’s right — the same regime that harbored terrorists, oppressed women, and killed American soldiers is now partnering with Beijing to pump oil out of Afghan soil.

This is what happens when weak leadership abandons a country overnight. We spent 20 years, thousands of American lives, and trillions of taxpayer dollars in Afghanistan. And what do we have to show for it? Nothing. Meanwhile, the Taliban gets oil revenue and China gets a foothold in Central Asia.

The deal reportedly covers oil fields in northern Afghanistan, a region rich in untapped reserves. For years, experts estimated Afghanistan was sitting on vast mineral and energy wealth — lithium, copper, rare earth elements, and oil. But American forces never prioritized extraction, focusing instead on nation-building and counterterrorism.

Now the Taliban is reaping the rewards, and China is right there with checkbook in hand. Beijing has made no secret of its interest in Afghanistan’s resources. While the U.S. pulls back, China steps in — no democracy required, no human rights lectures, just cold hard business with a terrorist government.

The Biden administration has been eerily quiet on this development. No condemnation. No sanctions. No acknowledgment that the people we fought for two decades are now profiting off the very country we left behind in ruins.

Remember the scenes from August 2021? Afghans clinging to planes. Americans stranded. Thirteen service members killed in a suicide bombing. Billions of dollars in military equipment abandoned. And now this — the Taliban signing oil deals while we foot the bill for resettling refugees and China laughs all the way to the bank.

This isn’t just a failure of foreign policy. It’s a betrayal of every American who served in Afghanistan, every family who lost a loved one, and every taxpayer who funded a war that ended with the enemy stronger than ever.

The Taliban didn’t just win the war. They struck oil. And we’re left holding the bag.

This is what happens when America loses its backbone. We don’t finish what we start, we abandon our allies, and our enemies cash in. Hardworking Americans sent their sons and daughters to fight, and for what? So China and the Taliban can get rich? It’s time we demand leaders who put America first — not last.
