Lithium is a strategically important element, essential for making batteries for smartphones, laptops, electric cars. Almost entire consumer electronics containing power cells are using Li-Ion batteries. In the last 12 months, lithium futures already prices went up 300% – and they’re poised to increase thousands of percent more, as growing electric cars production will increase demand at least twenty times.
Joe Biden is truly not in the same reality as the rest of all are.
He’s now just saying whatever comes out of his head to try to defend himself, regardless of facts or morality. As we noted earlier, he’s completely delusional — thinking that we have control of the airport right now as chaos reigns outside.
He is too warped to be president.
“This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul,” the account said.
One of the first things people noticed was the utter lack of Operational Security: It showed on the television that there were camera feeds from both the CIA and Doha Station.
“I’m getting sick and tired of hearing about morality, our moral obligation,” Joe Biden said in 1975. “There’s a point where you are incapable of meeting moral obligations that exist worldwide.” At the time, he was arguing against U.S. aid to Cambodia. But he could just as easily have said the same about his decision this year to end the American presence in Afghanistan, a catastrophic mistake that has led to a Taliban takeover, undermined our national interest, and morally stained Biden’s presidency.
It is the latest blunder in a foreign-policy record filled with them.
This is an article from lefty rag The Atlantic. The knives are out.
President Joe Biden continued to struggle with his response to the crisis in Afghanistan after days of hunkering down and seemingly waiting for the storm to blow over.
Faced with an outcry from the press over the president’s unwillingness to answer questions about the chaotic conclusion of the 20-year war in Afghanistan, Biden did an interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos at the White House to defend his actions.
“That was four days ago, five days ago,” will haunt Senile Joe.
Just processing this Biden interview.

Defiant Biden Bristles, Refuses to Admit Mistakes in First Interview Since Fall of Afghanistan
Even among friendly company, President Joe Biden gets defensive. Sitting with Democrat-operative-turned-political-commentator George Stephanopoulos, Biden said he doesn’t see how the United States could have avoided “chaos ensuing” during the ignoble effort to evacuate people from Afghanistan.
Something Is Wrong with the President
The transcript of President Joe Biden’s interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos dropped, and the president’s incoherence, insistence that he was incorrectly briefed, denial that he was warned by his military advisers, and oddly low profile in the past week raise troubling questions about his ability to perform his duties.
‘We are literally screwed’: The hits keep coming as Joe Biden repeats WH’s lie that ‘we don’t have military in Syria’
The Biden administration admitted on Tuesday that the Taliban had captured a significant amount of U.S. military equipment originally supplied to Afghan security forces during the militants’ blitzkrieg on Kabul in recent weeks — and the U.S. doesn’t know exactly how much American gear they’ve lost to terrorist hands.
The unmitigated disaster, and tragedy, that the American withdrawal from Afghanistan has turned into will likely soon fade out of the news cycle. But the consequences of the disaster are likely to be long reaching, and spell trouble for Canada. An increasingly unreliable and inward looking America is a dangerous reality we need to quickly adjust to.
In October of 2020, former White House physician Ronny Jackson raised a question that was on the minds of many voters: “I watch Joe Biden on the campaign trail and I am concerned that he does not have the mental capacity, the cognitive ability to serve as our commander in chief and head of state.” Jackson, who had served under Presidents Obama and Trump, stressed that he was speaking as a “concerned citizen” rather than a physician. Inevitably, the media collectively descended on Jackson like so many flying monkeys, but he raised the issue again during Biden’s absence from the public eye last weekend as Afghanistan was being overrun by the Taliban.
Now, the American president’s decision to allow Afghanistan to collapse into the arms of the Taliban has European officials worried he has unwittingly accelerated what his predecessor Donald Trump started: the degradation of the Western alliance and everything it is supposed to stand for in the world.

1/If you’re looking for an answer to how the shitshow in Kabul happened I think you have to start with the escape from Bagram AB in the middle of the night. There was no reason to leave Bagram the way US forces did unless they knew something.https://t.co/QHs6xUu4m7— dave (@bluetrader660) August 17, 2021
Get ready. The rehab effort of Joe Biden’s disastrously incompetent handling of America’s exit from Afghanistan is beginning. While some on CNN (like Jake Tapper) have acted like real journalists and grilled the administration, others are already trying to turn the debacle around. Just minutes after Biden addressed the nation (taking no questions), CNN’s Fareed Zakaria deemed the President’s speech on Monday as “brave.”
The scenes out of Afghanistan are infuriating and tragically predictable.
It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that President Biden and the geniuses surrounding him have made such an almighty hash of the withdrawal from that godforsaken country.
Pelosi released a statement praising the “wisdom of [Biden’s] actions.” The White House released a statement Aug. 14 detailing the administration’s decision to send 5,000 additional U.S. troops to help with the evacuation of personnel at the U.S.’ embassy and to support then-Afghani President Ashraf Ghani.
Secretly recorded audio of Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas meeting privately with U.S. border patrol agents in Texas on Thursday has been leaked online.
