The Trump administration is preparing to deport at least 150 Afghans over the next 48 hours, first to Pakistan and then to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Many of those facing deportation are relatives of those who worked alongside the United States. They could face severe retaliation from the Taliban upon their return. Nick Schifrin discussed more with Shawn VanDiver of Afghan Evac.

    We (The US) flat out abandoned many of the people who helped us in Afghanistan. Packed up and walked out, mercilessly and selfishly leaving them for dead. The cherry on top of the giant hot shit sundae that was the “war on terror.” This is an extra spritz of whipped cream.

    I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t trust us when we’ve clearly demonstrated that being an “ally” of the United States is one sided and you will be dumped as soon as we no longer need you.

    What a fucking disgrace.
