“Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the US government to resettle in the US, including family members of active-duty US military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump’s order suspending US refugee programs, a US official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday. The group includes unaccompanied minors awaiting reunification with their families in the US as well as Afghans at risk of Taliban retribution because they fought for the former US-backed Afghan government, said Shawn VanDiver, head of the #AfghanEvac coalition of US veterans and advocacy groups and the US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity,” says the lede to a Reuters report, copied verbatim to not mince words about what the fat bastard just did.
We were to understand that one of the most horrible things Biden did was to “abandon” such people in Afghanistan, dooming them to retribution by the Taliban. Guess that was a load of shit too.
