Saigon, the Kurds, Kabul. There’s a pattern with the us government letting down our supposed allies, literally leaving them behind waving frantically, as they fly away. Embarrassing country
We provide aid to refugees under US & international law. Many of those set to come here were already deemed admissible as refugees. They included children set to be reunited with their families, people who’d been tortured who need medical & mental health care, US military spouses, & soldiers.
That's fantastic but They are only talking about suspending flights. One would think they can find the money for a ticket and take a different non sponsored flight for something that important.
Nope. Trump CANCELLED flights for 1,660 people. He’s not letting them. If you’d think of the economic reality of Afghanastan, CHILDREN coming to be re-united with families here who aren’t allowed to work yet, amputees with PTSD, military spouses who don’t have work authorization… It goes on & on.
It is the Taliban. Read up a little. They control and screen EVERY passenger in EVERY vehicle. They had to cross the nation in car in dark of night not to be detected. Learn a little… this is the pathway Trumpworld is heading.
The article states the suspension was transportation. Why cant anyone with a visa (which they still have) buy their own ticket? The article does not state he canceled anything else just paused the aid money for further review. Unless they were flying out by air base. Which they did not elaborate.
Hey you why aren’t you sharing Palestine news at all? Only theirs.. they are also human beings and plus they are civilians who do not have weapons to fight back. Only Hamas did..
This is just cruel. It also reflects on all Americans that for the next four years, your word on the world stage means nothing. Oh, unless you say that you are going to destroy something.
This is the problem with a bullshit politicians. Everything they do is for show. The actual outcome doesn't matter to them. They want you to see they "did something" then move on and not look back. There is no thought, no care, no attention. It's all show.
As soon as the various aid packages get renamed from the Great Biden --- Package, to the Great Trump --- Package, the flow of money will resume...(sheesh)
Why isn’t REUTERS reporting about the Mexican PresidentA’s refusal to allow military planes from landing in Mexico 🇲🇽 with deported migrants? Please share this with our BIGSKY members.
Just saw video footage, on her IG stories, of her visit yesterday to many townships in the state of Oaxaca.. it was moving to see the dynamics between her and the townspeople.
