The Trump administration is in discussions to potentially send up to 1,100 Afghans who helped US forces during the war in Afghanistan to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a non-profit confirmed on Tuesday.
The resettlement talks, first reported by the New York Times, come after Donald Trump’s decision to stop an initiative that allowed Afghans who assisted US war efforts to apply to resettle in the US.
This group of more than 1,000 Afghans, who have been waylaid in Qatar for a year, reportedly includes interpreters as well as relatives of US military members. The group also includes more than 400 children.
According to the Times, the US evacuated these Afghans to Qatar for their protection because they supported US military efforts in their home country, which, since the US military withdrawal, is once again under Taliban control.
Man, the world people who think everything is a “distraction” rather than “just evil” live in a weird world.
Things can be both evil and a distraction from other evils.
Yes, but calling thing “just a distraction” really downplays the how serious thing closing of strait of Hormuz is or starting a war without a reason or threatening to genocide a whole civilizations.
They are not distractions. They are more evil things on top of more evil things.
You can’t distract something evil by something even more evil
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
“It can do other things! Why Shouldn’t it?!”
Like the Iran war is a distraction from the Epstein files, and also a vile banal thing neocons have been edging on for decades.
But not like that. Slightly more rapid
It’s not a distraction though.
If anything the files are the distraction.
“They’re not murderers if they killed people we don’t like… they were just ‘defending themselves’…”
