Lights Back On at Bagram Air Base as Chinese Planes Reportedly Land. China Denies. ⋆ Conservative Firing Line

Who turned the lights back on at Bagram? Locals claim Chinese military planes landed at the former US Base over night.

"The Lights back on at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan may portend something serious, if unconfirmed reports of Chinese planes landing there are true. From that base, China could spread problems throughout the Middle East. One of those problems could be anti-drone technology that could prove problematic for the administration’s “Over the Horizon” plans.

China is denying the report, and so are the Taliban. But somebody turned the lights back on at Bagram and somebody’s planes landed. China has been talking with the Taliban and the Haqqani Network. They expressed an interest in occupying the former US base last month. But the lights back on at Bagram could be a harbinger of something concerning to US military officials. If they’re paying attention."

Should this event be verified, this would also spell "trouble" for those delusionals who continue to advocate that the US could simply re-occupy Afghanistan without issue. At least this article acknowledges that Biden's "Over the Horizon" plans are nothing but meaningless hot air. Expect China, Iran, Russia, and even possibly Pakistan obstructing any US incursions into sovereign Afghan territory.

Since the above was posted a new article has emerged saying that the Chinese are not there.

Why China supposedly taking over Bagram Air Base is fake news | The Express Tribune

There’s no reason at this point why Chinese troops should be put in harm’s way to fight the ETIM and other terrorists

I even remember fringe articles about natural gas lines from the Caspian Sea when this whole thing kicked off.

Who the hell knows anymore?

One good thing today, we have video of what politicians have said. Some damming videos eventually surface. Evidently, "Biden warned in 2007 that leaving military equipment abandoned in a foreign country was a bad idea". To bad that he did not remember that when it became time to withdraw.

Flashback: Biden warned in 2007 that abandoning military equipment in a foreign country was a bad idea

In 2007 during one of his numerous unsuccessful bids for the presidency, Biden warned that a hasty withdrawal from Iraq would result in abandoning military equipment, which would possibly be used against "your grandchild" some day

The public has a pretty short memory but the internet lives forever. If you say something on videotape, you can run but you cannot hide. I guess that's why Google, FB, and Twitter, need thousands of people to bury things the administration doesn't want you to see.
