Trump turned our backs on the Kurds who helped us in the Middle East and literally left them to be slaughtered and now telling Afghani's either go back to have your wives and children raped and sold before your eyes for helping us or go to prison indefinitely in Africa and possibly be sold as slaves there. No one will ever help Americans again as another Trump can get in office and either expose you worked with the CIA because they leave documents in an unlocked bathroom or change policy and leave them hanging. What an absolute shitshow

It wasn't just stealing. That makes it sound like he just wrote checks to himself or one of his made up LLCs for organizing an event that didn't happen. He f****** wrote a check to the Boy Scouts for Eric's fees of iirc $11. He claimed and claims to be a billionaire, and he couldn't cut a personal check for Boy Scout fees under $20 for his kid to participate, and instead wrote a check from his cancer charity. I'm not wealthy, but $11 is basically nothing to me. I tip my bartenders $11 most of the time on a $25 tab.

For all his faults Trump was far from the president who “started us on this path”. Bush senior abandoned the Shia and Kurd uprisings in Iraq in 1991 after publicly encouraging resistance against Saddam in the wake of the Gulf War. Clinton abandoned Somalia and refused to intervene in the Rwanda Genocide. Bush junior somehow managed to alienate every single faction of every conflict in the ME. Obama set a red line on chemical weapon use and then proceeded to do nothing while Assad bombed and gassed Syrians. Biden failed to accelerate visas for Afghans employed by the US even as he accelerated US withdrawal. US foreign policy hasn’t been aligned with our values as a country for a long time now, and that is a reflection of what we voters view as important as much as the actions of a single president.

FinancialReserve6427 17 hr ago +26

didn't Biden moved the withdrawal to give the Afghans more time to prepare? republicans called him a warhawk for being allergic to peace. if you mean the US left before the deadline because the Taliban (that Trump freed) attacked and the Afghan army didn't even put up a fight, sure.

~9.5k visas issued in 2019, ~8k visas issued in 2020, ~10k issued in 2021, with 70 to 80k applicants left behind when the US withdrew. The withdrawal agreement was signed in Feb. 2020. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R43725

I haven’t seen French people on Facebook laughing and bragging about it, nor French people on Twitter being glad over something like Elon Musk DOGE-ing and doxing a man who worked for the Taliban… in the 1990s before 9/11 happened and he switched to providing intel to the US. I’m under no illusions that many countries use groups for their own gain. I’m sure there are French extremists who would laugh at such a thing but it’s disgusting how many people irl are supporting throwing the Afghans who helped them under the bus.

I don’t really understand the purpose of the 3rd party deportation process. My conception has been if your native country won’t take you then America pays another country to accept deportees. Here’s my problem Congo accepts the Afghans…and then what? El Salvador incarcerated their deportees, talk was it was America paid for a year of incarceration. Then what, are they supposed to be granted asylum and be resettled. The Afghans if resettled in the Congo would have problems being assimilated, especially if settled in refugee camps. Pakistan would have been a much better choice. That’s a better choice but it’s obviously not the answer to my question, what happens after they’re removed from the United States.
