Border Patrol encountered 234k illegal border crossings this November, and no one bats an eye. One month. Meanwhile, Veterans are trying to get half that number of vetted Afghan Allies to the safety they were promised, and it’s treated like an impossibility.

Ukrainians are fighting bravely and telling the Russians to fuck off at every chance.
Stop calling them insurgents and rebels. It’s their country. They’re being invaded.

Receiving "night letters" or death threats from the Taliban is common for battlefield interpreters. In the four years in took the State Dept. to approve Zahir's Special Immigrant Visa, he told us the Taliban killed his younger brother, his father-in-law and two cousins.
